DE failures: will Granderson and Baun teach FO a lesson?

The Penning pick just feels like a complete whiff on a small school project who was over rated based on metrics and overlooked slow feet. I think the glaring wish is that we could have somehow not had to make the Eagles trade and just traded other picks to move up to get Olave. Charles Cross would have been the best tackle to get who went 9th overall. Evan Neal who went 7th has not looked good for the Giants. I feel like the Penning pick is a lesson of forcing a position after the free agent loss of Armstead.

I know a guy who used to co-host Sportscenter who is now in another line of work where we overlapped.

He had a group chat thread of scouts prior to draft he'd talk with.

The second we drafted Penning, he wrote me "Biggest bust pick of first round. Chat thread unanimous that's crazy raw with bad attitude and tons to learn."

I was super pissed at the time but...
