Ex-Giants GM Ernie Accorsi traded down and knew it was a risk

Dave Gettleman hears the same questions every year around draft time:
Uh, Dave, you’ve never ever traded down, not with the Panthers, not with the Giants, eight drafts, 55 players picked — you trading down from 11 this year? “I’ve tried in the past … honest,” Gettleman said. “I’ve tried to trade back. But it’s got to be value, I’m not getting fleeced. I refuse to do it. If somebody wants to make a bad trade back, God bless them. … Sometimes you have a trade and the guy that the team is trading up for gets picked in front of you. We’ve had that happen to us.More Related News
