Shane Ray

jayg5 : 1/28/2015 6:25 pm : link

Is the only "tweener", I hope the giants would consider at 9 but I feel he will be taken before us

Ogbuehi

AcidTest : 1/28/2015 6:31 pm : link

is a guy the Giants would have to strongly consider in the third. The torn ACL and his trouble at LT may push him down. He'd be worth the risk even if he has to redshirt 2015. And that wouldn't be so bad because he'd have a year to get stronger.

it will be interesting

ColHowPepper : 1/28/2015 8:40 pm : link

to compare this ranking with that made in late April, as well as in context of off-season FA moves

so no true studs

in this draft.

Does anyone have last year's rankings?

Who grades them?

armstead98 : 1/28/2015 8:55 pm : link

I like this format...

Lance Zierlein, I believe

I've found that NFL.com is generally very critical of almost all the prospects. I remember last year, all the prospects they spoke about made it seem like they were awful prospects...even the top 10 players. And also, their prediction of where a player would be taken was generally off.

I watched some tape on Scherff and

Simms11 : 1/28/2015 10:30 pm : link

am not impressed at all. I'm not sure what I'm missing since he is listed as one of the best OTs in this draft! Maybe someone can shed some light ? I liked what I saw from Collins, but have not seen any Peat or Flowers yet.

He could be near the top of the list for OT's// but how good is the overall talent compared to years past???

Doesn't Gurley

Giants2012 : 1/28/2015 11:04 pm : link

Have a torn knee?

Pretty weak when compared to last year

Giants2012 : 1/28/2015 11:05 pm : link

IMO

Peat's grade is likely much closer to 7

Coach Mason : 1/28/2015 11:33 pm : link

after his sophomore season. If the Giants feel he is closer to the Sophomore version than the junior version, they could be getting a top 5 player in the draft at 9.

Peat's grade is likely much closer to 7

A lot of suspect names on that list

JonC : 1/29/2015 8:27 am : link

but I think it does illustrate how this crop lacks blue chip talent, there's literally none. Peat will go top 10, imo.

RB Tevin Coleman

area junc : 1/29/2015 8:37 am : link

there's just one word for this kid - explosive. when u start separating out the game-breakers, he's gonna go really high

looks eerily similar to david wilson. also gets plenty of spiller comparisons.

Either very conservative grades

David B. : 1/29/2015 8:54 am : link

Or this just doesn't appear to be a very strong class (you can never really tell). Bunch of red chip guys, but how many blue chip?

I don't think there is a single blue chip in this draft. Last year's draft was stronger.

The Giants really need to get a good player at #9. As we have so many holes I don't care what position we draft so long as the rookie is someone who can play and play as a rookie hopefully. I am still thinking DT D. Shelton is the guy because he's a run plugger with upsiide. With DT Jenkins, Patterson likely both gone due to age we need a DT. You need three DT's now-a-days.
