My #2 favorite defensive player in this year's draft is Jeff Luc MLB Cincinatti Bear Cats. The guy was measured at the senior bowl at 5 '11-1/2 263lbs.
A former FSU 5 Star Recruit that ended up transferring to Cincinnati after getting lost in the shuffle. He was the #1 ranked MLB player coming out of high school and after bouncing around finally put it all together. The guy has been described as an absolute tackling machine that moves well in space finishing the year with 134 tackles 9.5 tackles for losses and 6.5 sacks. The reports like Shelton is the guy has stood out at the Senior bowl.
Also like Shelton's Teamate Hau'oli Kikaha who was one of the best pass rushers in college football in 2014 finishing with 18 sacks. Lot of chatter this week about these two and think they would really look good in blue this fall. Assuming we make a splash in free agency and the Giants sign one of the following in free agency:
Orlando Franklin
Brian Bulaga
Mike Iapati
Like to see the Giants take in round order:
1) Danny Shelton DT Washington
2) Hau'oli Kikaha DE/OLB Washington
3) Jeff Luc MLB Cincinatti
4) Top Guard or OT prospect remaining
What do you guys think? Please provide any comments on the above players that seem very intriguing...
Somehow I never looked at OBJ on film until AFTER he was drafted. Then I was very excited. I just assumed the other 2 WRs Watkins/Evans were a step above a pack of receivers who were very close in talent.
So, if you can get a link to some film highlighting why a guy is special to you, please post it. Thanks

They also drafted him in the 8th round..
LBs are not a priority. It'll be DL, S, and maybe WR even though I think they should swear off drafting WRs for a year so they can fortify the OL and the defense. It's not like the don't have any. They've only got 11 WRs now, plus JJ if they want him back.

They've got sixteen O-Linemen now. Numbers don't tell the story - talent does - which is why I hope the Giants go OL and WR (not necessarily in that order) with two of their first three picks.

Cut Beason use the saving to sign a young free agent LB and draft Zjeff Luc!
