After thinking about what our pick likely comes down to

And Scherff may be a medical red flag.

Durability red flags that require careful examination at the Combine. Missed the second half of the 2012 season due to an ugly right leg injury (broken right leg, dislocated ankle) that required surgery and suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee in 2014 that also required surgery.
Red Flag? - ( New Window )

is one of the guys that has the nasty streak. Peat, supposedly doesn't. I'd take the nasty bastid any day. If the Giants like him enough to pick him, I'd be 100% fine with their pick. I haven't got a favorite this year. Just trying to figure who the Giants are most likely to pick at #9.

After the 1st round, the odds of me picking their pick correctly drop to near 0.

“I had an MRI Monday, knee scope on Tuesday, I practiced Wednesday and Thursday and then played on Saturday,” Scherff said at the Combine. “I owe something to my team. If I was able to play, I was going to play. They said two weeks or three weeks possibly. I said I felt pretty good Wednesday; can I throw my knee brace and helmet on and just do some drills. They’re like, ‘Yeah, sure, go ahead.” Thursday I told them I felt fine. They said it was up to me. So I wanted to do it.”

Yeah we don't want this guy /sarcasm off

they reportedly stack QB, DE, WR, LT, CB on tier and in that order. If the edge rushers truly aren't fits, then they're looking at the WRs. At that point, the key to me is Cooper or White there as I think Parker will slip a little. So, if the above is correct, it's Peat or Scherff but Colin's heard there might not be much love in NYG for Peat. It could be Scherff in the end. DT isn't likely in the mix, that would be a significant deviation for NYG, and Shelton is very likely better suited to 3-4 NT. I wonder if the above scenario unfolds, how high do they grade Melvin Gordon. Other than a tweener edge rusher, Gordon might be the next wildcard.

Nice post JonC.....if the draft shakes out and White and Cooper are gone with no pass rushers who fit our scheme I'd hope that we trade down and get some more picks.

I just don't want to draft someone for just for the sake of it, Scherff comes to mind, and not really get the value at that pick we need.

No clue what direction we'll go, but FA is going to dictate this for the most part.

There's a glut of 3-4 pass rushers that will go in the first half of the first round. A team like Pittsburgh could be eyeing one of them and be looking to move up. Similarly I can imagine if Parker is there the Giants might get some calls from teams looking for a number 1 WR. Kansas City at 18 might be a logical choice.

To me that's the best case scenario. Trade down to around 20 and get a second round pick. There's a lot more value in this draft for the Giants (relative to the value of the pick) at around 20 then 9 IMO. There'd be several of OTs (Clemmings, Peat)and DTs (Brown, Davis, Armstead) for the Giants to choose from or they could even go with Gordon if they wanted a RB. The draft is so deep at WRs and the Giants don't need a #1 (or to pay 2 #1s in the future), so they can pick up a WR in the early middle rounds.

lot of good options to get back to winning in the trenches at 20.

You also forgot Maxx Williams.

No I didn't.

or if Amari Cooper drops to #9.

I am quietly praying Cooper drops. OBJ and Amari together for a guaranteed four years would be AMAZING. Remember, Randle is in a contract year and Cruz is coming off a bad injury. We may not be able to sign Randle in 2016 if he puts up big numbers due to OBJ drawing double teams. And we may not want to pay Cruz his salary in 2016 - especially if he is average in 2015.

My hopes are Amari Cooper or a trade down where we get a teams #1 in say teens and a starting 3rd year OG as that would give us 2 years with him.

You gonna jump off the roof when Maxx goes in the 3rd round?

so if they think the value is there - should be Collins, Peat, or Scherff (even if RT).

RE: DL - Dupree or maybe Flowers.

Cooper if he is there, not sure he will be. Not sure Giants view White and certainly Parker on the same tier.

Personally, I think it will be - Collins, Peat, or Scherff. Just not sure where these guys are on Giant's board.
