Lauletta to the Giants
- Thread starter SFspidur
- Start date
While things on the basektball side has been pretty tumultuous this off season, some great things happening for football. New locker rooms being built, Spiders in the NFL. Great recruiting pitches for recruits. Our defense seems a lot more cohesive Pieces seem to be falling at the right time to position us to have a great run the next several years
Congrats Kyle. Tired of the Giants hauling my Spiders but if he crushes it in NY can only be good for both him and Richmond. Best of luck Kyle!
I'm just glad he's on the east coast and can have 2 opportunities to beat the Redskins
Rather have him play for the NY Football Giants than the New England Cheatriots!
Watch what you are saying about my Skins, lol.

4th round - 108th pick - way to go Kyle - trust you and your family are happy about it. About 115 miles from Exton.....hopefully your family will be able to watch you play often...........
Two other recent 4th round qb picks......
Russell Wilson
Kirk Cousins

On the channel I was watching today, several times when the analysts were talking they gave really high praise to Kyle. Said it was a great pick for the Giants. Lot of positive things said. He was singled out several times.
Good day for Spider football. We should all be proud.
It was a blast watching him the last several years...winner!
Congrats, Kyle!

Seriously, Giants. Enough. Let someone else have some Spiders. We're not all Giants fans.
I dislike the Giants, but this is a great opportunity for Kyle. He can compete with Davis Webb right away.
I remember a chat with a Richmond product who got drafted in the 4th round. He told me going into camp he was going to win the starting job and he most certainly did. Kyle's a confident young man, and he has every reason to be here.

I hope Lauletta does for UR in football what Steph Curry has done for Davidson in basketball. Would be awesome to have him starting in the NFL, but there’s a long road of hard work before that can happen!
Thought this was a good bit of info from Giants GM & Coach. This one line below stands out:
"After the Giants picked Lauletta, Gettleman said he received a text message from another NFL GM indicating that his team was prepared to select Lauletta in the second round, only to use that choice for another area of need."

Yes sir, remember it took Curry a few years before he he took everyone by storm. I believe Lauletta is up to the challenge!
As a Skins fan I hate this pick. As a Spider, I love this. Kyle will be in a great situation to learn from Eli and their offense plays to his strengths.
This. And i'll add that his new head coach has been a bit of a 'quarterback whisperer' wherever he has been. Kyle really could not have have ended up in a better situation and i'm sure he'll make some major contributions to the quarterback room with all the systems he has played in at UR.
Go Big Blue.

Dont know the giants in and out, but I would have to think that Barkley will be the main attraction on Day 1. That would take some pressure off Kyle (if ever starter). 20 rushes a game, catching out in the flat.
How many deep balls would Kyle really need to throw? Id be interested in knowing Eli's numbers at certain yardages.

great to see Shawn, one of my all time fav SPIDS, put in some good words. recall speaking with his Dad at a UR function one night and we were discussing how we were going to be able to root for Shawn the next season as he was departing our team, the REDSKINS and going to the eagles. great people
