I know there's been a lot of discussion on this group, but just looking for a consensus of opinion.
When the Giants pick at 9, all these names won't be available, but it's likely 2 or 3 will. Rate this group from top to bottom, or at least give the top 3 you would hope would be available from this group. (*please don't say none, I want Cooper or something, let's just pretend the giants go rusher here...)
Vic Beasley - Clemson
Bud Dupree - Kentucky
Dante Fowler Jr. - Florida
Randy Gregory - Nebraska
Shane Ray - Missouri
2. Shane Ray, Missouri
3. Vic Beasley, Clemson
4. Randy Gregory, Nebraska
5. Bud Dupree, Kentucky
or so says Mike Mayock
Ray has an explosive first step and speed but I think he's a pass rusher only. I don't see him being as successful dropping into coverage.
Fowler, Gregory and Dupree have major bust factors written all over them imo and personally I'd pass.
2) Ray
3) Fowler
6'3"-6'4" and 270 lbs, give or take, is pretty much the standard. If you're longer or heavier and can still move great, but that's pretty normal for a 4-3 end and Fowler is close to it, 261 and has played in the 270's. Dupree is 6'4" and 269.
