HBO and NFL Films presented the fifth and final episode of “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants” on Tuesday night and it proved to be a fascinating look at the planning, negotiation, and decision-making during the NFL draft.
The 35-minute show was impressively detailed and in-depth, as all of the earlier episodes had been. It was a terrific five-episode display and arguably the best content in Hard Knocks history. The Giants and co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch deserve a tip of the cap for allowing it to happen.
Here are some of the best or most notable reactions to Episode 5:
Now we know why they take so long in picking lol.

Malik was mildly happy when seeing The Giants popping up on his phone.
At best.#Giants100

Brian Daboll had Malik Nabers as WR1 in the Draft.

Daboll SO hyped for Nabers ????

Take a shot everytime Joe Schoen or Brian Daboll say they are “fired up” ???? #hardknocks

Cool to hear Brandon Brown’s thought process on why the Giants chose Tyrone Tracy, “explosive play per touch” ????

Time to turn this franchise around finally. Enough already with the low expectations and high draft picks.#Giants100

So Schoen passed on the Colts trade offer and they don’t show us what the Jets offered

Offseason #HardKnocks was terrific.
I hope @NFL forces a team to do it every year (like in summer).
It will be interesting how revealing others are compared to #Giants, who, to their credit, showed more than expected. That said, it confirmed A LOT of offseason beat reporting.— Ryan Dunleavy (@rydunleavy) July 31, 2024
Two things no one can take away from Daniel is his work ethic and leadership.
He has absolutely had his ups and downs, but has never complained once about the lack of support around him.

I’ve absolutely loved watching the @Giants off-season Hard Knocks. I hope they keep doing these because it’s a really incredible look at the machinations of a front office.
