ODBeast : 12/21/2014 7:03 pm

Ray will be able to break it down for us.
probably  
Koldegaard : 12/21/2014 7:07 pm : link
Around 10-11.
Giants were 7th to 16th going into today  
Shockwave : 12/21/2014 7:28 pm : link
I think we end up around 12 or 14
11th  
dpinzow : 12/21/2014 7:31 pm : link
Tennessee, Jax, TB, Jets, Raiders, Redskins and Bears all have worse records. New Orleans, Minnesota and Atlanta all have worse SOS
11  
jeff57 : 12/21/2014 7:34 pm : link
By my count.
There will be an early season starter for us in'15  
old man : 12/21/2014 7:36 pm : link
at 11 or 12.
but Atlanta might win division  
eli4life : 12/21/2014 7:37 pm : link

Only if we lost next week, because Carolina would be 6-9-1. If we win next week we draft behind everyone in the NFC South except for the division winner

Carolina then would be behind the Giants if the Giants win next week.
Looks like the lowest the Giants could pick is 13

Draft  
Dragon : 12/21/2014 8:07 pm : link
Was looking like something we could use to rebuild quickly but each week that option becomes less of a sure thing. In the top 5-7 you could have moved up or down depending on your BP board. To move from top 7 to a 12-18 pick could have given you possibly 5 picks in the top 100. This team is now almost locked into staying put and not making any early draft trades.

where we picked last year. But this draft is not as loaded.

I think some people Banking on the draft pick spot as a cureall are overating it. It's easier to get a 7-9 team into the playoffs the following year than it is a 3-13 team.what the team actually is, is more important than 7 draft picks out of a 53 man roster, especially when the bottom few of the 7 won't be on the tam in a couple of years, and your lucky to get 3-4 guys who can contribute the year they are picked anyway.

In general teams strive for winning records, not losing records and high draft picks.There are reasons for that.Winning begets winning, as losing begets losing.A 7th as opposed to a 12th or 14th pick isn't going to be the difference in whether or not this team is successful next year.
Drafting later in the 1st round  
Steve in South Jersey : 12/21/2014 8:31 pm : link
probably increases the chances of pick OL in round 1.
unless you need a franchise QB or an impact LT  
oipolloi : 12/21/2014 8:32 pm : link
you don't really have to be at the very top of the draft. With their winning streak, Giants will likely drop themselves from 7 to 12.

I don't think there is a huge difference between the type of player you can get at those two spots.
Right now around 11 or 12  
DavidinBMNY : 12/21/2014 8:42 pm : link
In this draft though after the top few players it is a big drop off.
They probably no longer have a shot at a Cooper or a Gregory  
jeff57 : 12/21/2014 8:46 pm : link
But there should at least be a quality OT at 11-13.
The highest pick the Giants could  
YANKEE28 : 12/21/2014 8:50 pm : link
have is #9. They will be no lower than # 13.

So somewhere between 9 and 13.
Will winning next weej affect their pick

I think at most it could drop them from 10 to 13.
i was hoping we can get a stud

DE somewhere there
No worries. There should be a very good  
Jimmy Googs : 12/23/2014 10:20 pm : link
Guard, Tight End, Wide Receiver, Def End, Def Tackle, Corner, or Safety available when it's our turn.

Any of them will do just fine...
my honest opinion...  
FTLFan : 12/23/2014 11:07 pm : link
and no slight to the OP intended, but who flipping gives a crap!? The draft position hand wringing is driving me crazy! We will almost undoubtedly be in the top third of the round (perhaps close to top quarter if we let Philly pummel us again), and close enough to the top to snag another OBJ if our scouts are good enough to identify the talent base. There will be a #1 prospect/option at several positions still available. We have at least an opening or two at damn near every level of offense or defense, and by popular perception we draft BPA anyway. It all just falls on the scouts and decision makers, not the draft position. For every OBJ at #12, there is an Aaron Curry at #9. One more draft year like the last two, and the Giants will have re-established the quality foundation necessary for Eli's last run (IMO).

The tiebreaker is strength of schedule. The only team for which SOS tiebreak with NYG is in doubt is CHI.


Giants at 6-10:
==================
TB, TEN, JAC, OAK, WAS and NYJ will pick ahead of the Giants

If CHI loses they pick ahead of the Giants.

If CHI wins, Give NYG 1 point if WAS beats DAL and give NYG 1 point if ARI beats SF. Give CHI 1 point if GB beats DET and give CHI 1 point if CAR beats ATL. Whoever has fewer points picks first, if points are the same NYG pick ahead of CHI.

If ATL loses they pick ahead of NYG, if ATL wins they pick #21 at the earliest.

If NO loses they pick ahead of NYG, if NO wins they pick behind NYG.

If MIN loses they pick ahead of NYG, if MIN wins they pick behind NYG.

All other teams pick behind NYG

The highest pick is #8 and the lowest pick is #11.

Giants at 7-9
===============
TB, TEN, JAC, OAK, WAS, NYJ, CHI, MIN and NO will pick ahead of the Giants.

If ATL beats CAR, CAR picks ahead of NYG. ATL picks at #21 at the earliest.

If CAR beats ATL, ATL picks ahead of NYG. CAR picks at #21 at the earliest.

[So one of them picks ahead of NYG and the other picks at #21]

If STL loses they pick ahead of NYG. If STL wins they pick behind NYG.

If CLE loses they pick ahead of NYG. If CLE wins they pick behind NYG.

The highest pick is #11 and the lowest pick is #13.
Thank you Ray!

So beating Philly drops us at most 3 slots and maybe only 2.

I say beat the phukkers to a pulp. OBJ for 180+ receiving yards to top 1,300 and join the elite company of Boldin and Moss as rookies.
Err I guess that's at most 5 slots  
BlueLou : 12/24/2014 5:24 am : link
or as few as 2...
