Giants.com First Draft: Aaron Donald (Video)

ImaGiant86 : 4/19/2014 9:41 pm
This clip might've been linked somewhere but I didn't see a thread for it. If you haven't seen it yet it's worth the watch, gives you an idea of the kind of guy Donald is and his personality.

Should tell us everything we want to know about Donald, of coarse it does not tell you a thing about what you may need to know before you would pick him for your team, and the ignorance continues.
no

He has some notable deficiencies against the run because of poor awareness and technique.

It also doesn't say a damn thing about how to spell "course."
Keeping my fingers crossed

Hates the Donald. LOL. If he's there, he's the Giants pick. Sad thing is even when Donald turns out to be great, Paul N will always bad mouth him.

Book it.
Aaron Donald Is A No Brainer!

When I see Eric Ebron name as a first round I just don't understand what people are looking at. The bad news is that most likely the Cowboys or the Bears will trade up in this draft and take Donald off the board.
I like Donald for his pass rush

He may develop his run stop skills as he goes along.

If you can get a big-time interior pass rusher in today's NFL you have a huge advantage. A guy like Hankins can take on double teams against the run and Donald can move around and use his skills to the best of his ability.

Probably not your intention but you make it sounds like Donald is going to be holding on for dear life on running plays.

His run D as is now, is better than people on here give him credit for.
There is definitely a question  
TMS : 4/20/2014 10:09 pm : link
of whether or not Donald, at his size and weight, will be able to hold the point of attack against much bigger centers, guards and tackles in the NFL. Not to mention a double team. If he cannot teams will run at him and take him out of the play. He is too short to obstruct the passing lanes as well. Something we want from our DL. Do not think JR goes against all that with the 12th pick in a deep draft, with all our other needs.
The guy is the same size as Geno Atkins

All Pro Geno Atkins I might add.
