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

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.
What else would you say?
WR Strong
RB Johnson
And then spend the rest of the draft on defense

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.
How do you know what a reach is when we haven't even gotten to pro days and the combine?

whereFlowers should be considered that high in the draft. If Reese starts reaching in the first round as well. We are really in trouble.

Answer: You don't.
Some recent perspective:OBJ was considered a reach at 12 this time last year.
Then lets see who we actually get.
Rd 1 Pick 9: Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford
Rd 2 Pick 8: A.J. Cann, OG, South Carolina
Rd 3 Pick 10: Mario Edwards, DE, Florida State
Rd 4 Pick 9: Ben Koyack, TE, Notre Dame
Rd 5 Pick 8: Ibraheim Campbell, SS, Northwestern
Rd 6 Pick 10: Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami (Fla.)
Rd 7 Pick 9: Dominique Brown, RB, Louisville
Rd 7 Pick 27: Derrick Lott, DT, Chattanooga
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.
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 -

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 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
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.
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
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

Method is ''BPA from within a positional / and type pool'':
1. Mine-(DT/OL) (no DE here this year please, unless I am misinformed)
Giants actual Pick - (OT)
2. Mine- (Same Pool Minus the position drawn above, unless you lack value at it, then repeat, )
Giants Actual Pick (OG)
3. Mine - (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)
Giants Actual Pick (DE or LB..not a tweener)
4. Mine (Free safety or a college corner who projects to free safety)
Giants actual pick (TE, skipping a future hall of fame FS)
5. Mine (FS/TE/OL/LB)
Giants Actual Pick (Center/Guard Prospect)
6. Mine (RB/TE/LB)
Giants Actual Pick (RB...they are learning!)
7. Mine (RB/TE only if not drawn yet)
Giants Actual Pick (OL)
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

Don't forget potential 3 tech DT in round 2 or 3
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
