New Walter football mock

Nick from Goa : 1/27/2015 5:24 pm
1.Flowers OT Miami
2.Shaq Thompson LB Washington
3.Duke Johnson RB Miami
4.Wayne Lyons CB Stanford

They have Peat going the pick after Flowers. Flip Flowers and Peat and I would be psyched. Don't know anything about the Stanford CB

#9 is a little high for Flowers, but wouldn't hate it. No problem with Thompson in the second. Just don't think he lasts that long. I also think we'll get a DT sometime in the first three rounds.

Shaq strikes me as a terrific athlete without a position.  
81_Great_Dane : 1/27/2015 7:05 pm : link
Undersized for line, maybe too small for linebacker. But he'd be an intriguing prospect at strong safety. He looks like a guy who can do a lot of things but doesn't fit the conventional mold.
If we get

Considering our pursuit of O'Brien Schofield, I wonder if we might be a little more open to unconventional personnel. Not necessarily at 9, but he has a lot of talent.
I'll take it.

Would love that but am leaning to Lockett over Strong. Lockett is another DeSean Jackson, a little less quick but even better route runner coming out with better hands and tough as nails.

Answer: You don't.

Some recent perspective:OBJ was considered a reach at 12 this time last year.

I would swap the RB for a DL.

MacAdoo seems like the type who can incorporate any legit weapon if need be. We threw alot to our backs too last year.

Don't see Jerry going here third round though as we may pick someone up via FA and he has only went RB once before the fourth round in ten+ years.

Love the beef in the first two rounds but don't see that happening unless we totally skip adding a lineman in FA (and even then a bit dubious). I think we can finally get that blue-goose potential LT that has alluded us at 9 but round 2 as well?

Also I can pretty much guarantee you Dorsett doesn't sniff round 4. He's getting much love, the NFL loves speed burners, and he has it in spades.

ok, new 'positional by pools'  
idiotsavant : 1/28/2015 10:01 am : link
Method is ''BPA from within a positional / and type pool'':

1. (DT/OL) (no DE here this year please, unless I am missinformed)
2. (Same Pool Minus the position drawn above, unless you lack value at it, then repeat, )
3. (DE/DT however, this can be the big DE or the DT that plays DE in a 3/4 or all a rounder, such as the Edwards suggestion above or others)
4. (Free safety or a college corner who projects to free safety)
5. (FS/TE/OL/LB)
6. (RB/TE/LB)
7. (RB/TE only if not drawn yet)

notes on type;

LB no more tweener LB/Sam/DEs....
TEs; prefer they can also block'
RB running backs who can do pass protection and catch passes, may lack top end speed, no shrimos
DTs that are large and move: no little ones -

If you are looking at our pursuit of Schofield that would lead me more towards Vic Beasley than Shaq Thompson

We have too many needs to be looking at specific positions in the early rounds. I do think we need to get at least one OL in the first three rounds and personally if Peat and Collins are off the board at 9 I am not sure if Scherff is all that different than what we could get in Round 2 and the drop at other positions would be much greater. Beyond that I think we really need to keep to BPA
I really think we need  
Jon in NYC : 1/28/2015 10:08 am : link
to walk out of the draft with a RB. I could definitely get behind duke. I also like ameer Abdullah a lot.
First two rounds will very likely be premium position picks  
JonC : 1/28/2015 10:09 am : link
e.g. DE, LT, WR, or CB ...

UFA will be used first to address needs, and then the draft beginning with 3rd round. This is how it almost always is with NYG.

blapre74 : 1/28/2015 10:17 am : link
have too many needs to pick at #9. The smart move is to trade out of #9 and get an extra 2nd and 5th. They need an OT, G, RB and SS. Pats do it almost every year.
well, of course, ODBJ  
idiotsavant : 1/28/2015 10:18 am : link
is an amazing player...and it's pick 9 now so, there may be another

However- the logic against a broader BPA at 9 this year is as follows:

Last years draft seems to have been fairly weak positional target wise - after the first round -

and as a result of not taking the big OL in 1, although we all love the player, leaving a semi-unbalanced, even weak structurally, team supporting an all star cast of two (eli and ODB), which did not win much at all.

Perhaps the way out of this quandry is a trade down in rd 1..or even into rd 2.

Ameer Abdullah reminds me a bit of Gio Bernard, but I am not sure he can be a primary RB in the NFL. Also concerns about his blocking. An underrated RB later in the draft is David Cobb of Minnesota

JonC : 1/28/2015 10:18 am : link
Agree with you on Shaq lacking a defined positional projection. Further, NYG is very unlikely to deploy a WILL in a traditional mold under Spags. More likely it's an edge rusher type WILL who plays downhill with a Big Nickel behind him.

UFA is.

Before you bring up the words "urgent" and "need" with draft talk, remember UFA is first.

To get an extra 2nd and 5th this year with the way the talent is stacking up is going to require trading down further than what the charts say you should to get a 2nd and 5th and the teams we would be trading down with would be having picks late in both rounds

your pt is well taken, but it's been written this is a red chip draft, one might as well try to move down. I'm sure the Jint's braintrust knows more than I do, but it seems to make no sense to sit at #9 and take a lineman, who may need time to develop. My idea is to trade down to say, 16, and pick up an extra few picks, then they are golden :) the window for eli manning is closing soon.

The problem is unless someone is sitting there at #9 who we cannot use but should not have fallen to #9 we are unlikely to be getting much more than an extra 3rd to trade down to 16 with the draft as level as it is and I do not want to trade down for the sake of trading down if we are not maximizing the value of the picks
naturally, not for just a 3rd  
blapre74 : 1/28/2015 11:05 am : link
but perhaps some team (houston) needs a qb and would be willing to pay the price. NE Pats do it every year.

which more or less adheres to the Front office draft philosophy:

Round 1: Cooper (not likely available)/Peat/Collins/Shelton(if determined to be a potential top pass rush DT)/Kevin White

Round 2: Carl Davis/Clive Walford/Maxx Williams/Jalen Strong/ Phillip Dorsett/ Owamagbe(closely resembles Giant prototype at DE)/AJ Cann/ Flowers (not likely)/ Perryman

Round 3: Lockett(one of best route runners in draft and speed)/Crowder(toughest cover in Senior Bowl)/ Paul Dawson/Ameer Abdulla/David Johnson/Michael Bennett

Round 4: Lyndon Trail/Nick Boyle/ Stephone Anthony
