| Taylor Lewan said at the NFL scouting combine that he was not involved in an alleged rape case that resulted in a players removal from the University of Michigan. The student in question was “permanently separated” from the university as of mid-December for violating the school’s Student Sexual Misconduct Policy in 2009. The victim accused Lewan of threatening her to be quiet. — “I’m going to rape her because, [Gibbons] didn’t.” Is the offending phrase. Lewan told the media Thursday that he never made that comment. Why should we believe him and not the girl? What does she have to gain by telling the school this? “I’ve said a lot of dumb things, but those are not things I’ve said. I would never disrespect a woman like that. I consider myself a guy who holds doors, not threatens people.”... -------- Lewan also reportedly was under investigation recently for a possible assault that followed Michigan’s loss to Ohio State at the end of the 2013 season. He denied that he was involved in that situation, as well. “I wasn’t in any fight,” Lewan said. “That’s not who I am off the field.” Michael Schofield, the Wolverines’ starting right tackle for the past two seasons and Lewan’s former roommate, mentioned that several of the teams he has met with thus far have inquired about Lewan, both as a person and a player. They have asked about Lewan “a lot. I understand it,” Schofield said. “Just like what kind of guy is he, what kind of leader is he." Now Lewan is again in court. A tape has been passed around scouting circles that shows Lewan to be ONE OF THE DIRTIEST players in college ball which judging by what he has shown so far of his personality should not come as a surprise. Lewan's often walked the line between hard-nosed and dirty, with a helmet-twisting incident against Michigan State’s Isaiah Lewis this past season a prime example. And whether it’s fair to Lewan or not, the situation between Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin in Miami will have teams approaching any potential behavioral wild cards with extreme caution. |
There will be numerous great players for us at #12 -- no need to trade up. What's more, if all the negatives about Lewan are making the rounds, his stock is going to fall. So why is there even going to be a "need" to trade up for him? Comical!
Or else, he will be VERY unemployed quickly.
You can't 'fix the offense' without the players on offense, especially the younger, faster ones.
Is that correct?
So extreme caution means you try to trade up to get him?? Really. I'm not saying I'm just saying
Is that correct?
Yessir,sorry for the confusion
Two examples in the past: CJ Spiller and Darrius Heyward-Bey. In both cases, Reese had reportedly his eyes on trading up if they slipped past a certain point. In both cases, they never reached that point in which the Giants value algorithm made sense to make the deal. Spiller was taken 9th overall by the Bills. The Giants picked 15th that year (they got JPP), and if I recall, I think they were readying a deal if he went past the top 10 and get ahead of San Diego who wanted a RB. But he went too early, the Giants were not going to overpay, so they stayed where they were.
Heyward-Bey was another one, Reese had said that he was his top target a WR, but the Raiders went nuts and took him #7 over all, way to high and it never made any sense for the Giants to try to go for him. The Giants would stay at 29 and pick Nicks.
So I wouldn't doubt reports that the Giants have eyes on players and would consider a trade up to get them if it made sense. But we've seen proof that Reese does not overpay to get a player. Usually when you overpay to get a guy, it blows up in your face (see Ricky Williams in New Orleans).
Best hope for the Giants is a run on the QBs. Of one falls to 12 and they can move back a bit. And extra 2nd or 3 would be great. As long as they don't instantly trade it away for another Siniorce Moss.
Matt, agents leaking shut in the press? That happens?
Falling in love w any player is dangerous. Sometimes it works out bit most often it seems to hurt the team.
There is only one answer here
The problem is that if you trade up from #12, you are essentially trading one potential high end guy plus picks, for another guy with the potential to be a slightly higher end guy.
Instead, I think the Giants stay right where they are and pick PBA at #12, but that I think it is increasingly likely that they will trade up from #43 into the back end of the 1st round.
That way, they get the best player to fall to them, and then can get a second guy at a position of need that fits their trade value board.
For example, let's say that one of the WR falls to #12, the Giants take him, then trade up into the mid low 20's to get a Jace Amaro or high end DB or OG who falls farther than anticipated.
Another example, let's say one of the two big OTs makes it to #12- the Giants take him, then trade up into the end of the 1st to get a hgih end WR or a TE like Amaro.
Of course, this is just my opinion & I could absolutely be wrong about either point. But I'd be surprised at a trade up for Lewan.
Watkins, Clowney, Mack
Not worth it for Robinson, Mathews, Lewan as Martin could be picked for sure at #12. Lewan likely at #12.
Not Evans since the WR group is so deep.
No corners or safeties due to current roster
Barr not worth it.
You ain't shittin'. But I don't think that's even in the thought process.
I bet if you documented it, every team is rumored to be doing something per that show..............
agree with Filthy
