Dave Gettleman acting like “a guy that doesn’t feel like he’s on the hot seat” — Dan Hatman Scouting Academy Director offers draft thoughts on ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast The work done in the 2021 NFL Draft by New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman surprised and impressed many who follow the NFL. That work included the first two trades back in nine drafts as a GM, players considered good value at each of the Giants’ six picks, three picks added in the first four rounds of the 2022 draft, including a first-rounder. Scouting Academy Director Dan Hatman, who worked briefly in the Giants’ scouting deparment while Gettleman was the team’s top pro personnel man, thinks the draft was really Gettleman showing his true colors. Especially the idea that Gettleman would willingly accumulate future assets when, if the Giants aren’t good in 2021, he might not be the GM deciding how to use them.
