If the Giants add a playmaker WR at 9 and a solid addition

wgenesis123 : 3/14/2015 9:09 am
to the O-line at 40, can they outscore enough opponents to make the playoffs? To add an outstanding playmaker to OBJ, Cruz, and Vareen is such a tempting thought. To neglect the defense however seems devasting to me. Pinball scoreboards would seem to be the future.

Either WR there when we pick 9th.

superspynyg : 3/14/2015 9:25 am : link
We have NO starting safeties on the roster and our online still needs help. A wr at 9 is not the answer for us unless one or two of these other problems are fixed first.
It's looking to me

like we will take one of four players at #9
Amari Cooper= just too good to pass up

Shane Ray or Vic Beasely if Giants decide either can be a defensive end ( I think both can and Spags can do some interesting things with them as far as QB pressure

The 4th is my sleeper Malcolm Brown-great rub stopper with a pass rush

DaddyM89 : 3/14/2015 9:31 am : link
i dont see the value there at 9. I think if one of white or cooper are there at 9 you run up to the podium and grab them. The playmakers would be elite, you then grab the best o-line availale at 40.
Daddy  
wgenesis123 : 3/14/2015 9:36 am : link
I see it the same way. Problem is your really putting off addressing the defense to next year. If we build an elite offense, with little on defense, we are Green Bay and lose to the likes of Seattle in the playoffs.
This draft may truly test the "best play" concept  
ZogZerg : 3/14/2015 9:42 am : link
Typically the Giants take the "Best Player" at a position of need. Since they always have needs at multiple spots, folks say they took the "best player". I would say WR is lower on the list of "position of need". It's behind Safety, OL, DE, DT. If the Giants go with one of the top 3 WRs at number 9 then, based on BBIs rankings, they are truly drafting Best player.

I would place high odds against them drafting a WR at number 9. It would be a real surprise.
it makes little sense  
hitdog42 : 3/14/2015 9:46 am : link
when you are a bad team.... with a stud WR already.... to add another stud WR... when there will be highly graded players at positions where we suck. We should be able to find a good WR in a later round, just like many NFL teams do.

This site is skewed by the fact that OBJ was the best rookie WR of all time.... and think adding another first round WR will give the same marginal impact he did--- I dont believe it will at all. He is the exception not the rule.

what will help more and still be a big value? the top OL in the draft... a stud DE or pass rusher like Beasley

I dont understand how some of the better posters here talk about FA is for plugging your needs....and then we dont plug ANY needs... and somehow we still want to take a WR possibly at #9? We were the softest team in the NFL last year. That should be the focal point of the draft and FA--- but it hasnt been.

the only way i would feel pleased taking WR in the first is if we know we can get a Cam Erving in the 2nd...

I was fine with taking WR at 9 until we didnt address any big needs in FA of yet. that can still change- hopefully it does.

but as is we have left little flexibility for the draft---- its a deep RB draft and our first signing was... a RB? Its all quite strange. Our best signing was also the one we overpaid the most for with harris.

yatqb : 3/14/2015 9:58 am : link
next to Hankins, and hope he's grown up enough to handle the job. Then add a healthy Beason if you're willing to be quite hopeful, along with a FA DT to be named later (e.g., Bryant or someone of that ilk). Add at least one starting S, and perhaps our defense isn't as bad as last year's.

I too think that Cooper and White will be gone before 9, and that we'll take either an OL or Malcom Brown, and either of those guys will be a big help to our biggest areas of weakness. So there is hope. If they take Landon Collins I'll puke, however!

The thing is, the Giants aren't going to base their decision on BBI's rankings, they will go by their own rankings. And it's very possible that the Giants have Scherff or La'el Collins ranked ahead of the WR's. So it could be that the Giants draft an OL who is truly the best player available.

p.s.-- Where do I go to find BBI's rankings?

Could be. Complicated further by Randle's improved play near the end and uncertainty about Cruz. There are going to be a couple of great picks for G available in round two. So if either of the top two WRs are there at 9, and it looks at least one will be, "pickle," indeed.
Folks keep a assuming this is a 2 WR race  
Coach Mason : 3/14/2015 10:24 am : link
Don't sleep on Devante Parker. He had 3 great seasons for Louisville and had the highest average receiving yards per game in all of college football last year. Kevin White ran slightly faster but Parker has the better leap and catching radius of the two. Also I think Parker has tremendous game speed.

Last year all the way leading up to the draft many draftniks were talking up Watkins and Evans as the consensus top 2 and then a drop off. I still take Cooper if I could choose any, but Devante is right there with him and White.
the worse thing the Giants can do is reach for need in the draft

Bill2 : 3/14/2015 10:31 am : link
This idea would be my preference as well. Until we build the defense I think the fastest path to 9 wins or maybe even 10 is to give Eli playmakers and thereby free up the middle for runs and TEs.

If we could do that plus stop the run....that's the fastest path to a 10 win team

Dankbeerman : 3/14/2015 10:44 am : link
White is a must draft at 9. If he is there I think we can trade out of the spot. NO and Cleveland seem to need pass catchers. Think if its white available at 9 trade down a few spots and pick an olinemen.

If its Cooper you pick him.
WR is a total want not a need  
LauderdaleMatty : 3/14/2015 10:45 am : link
And not one person can te me for sure that Cooper will have a greater positive effect than the 3-5 other guys not at that positon who will be ranked almost identically.

Beasly Shelton Fowler Scherff or Peat may all be huge successes

The WR on the brain now prevalent is just not a surity to success.

Harvin Wallace Marshall and Andre Johnson could all have helped this team a lot more than any WR available at 9. Why not get a proven player of its so needed

The issue with the run D was not up the middle - the Seattle game skewed so much of that. They were not good defending the edges against the QB and McCoy.

Dallas killed the Giants like they always do - passing the ball and hitting long 3rd downs

If Shelton is there I get him. If not, you can find a vet DT (Brayant, Cofield,, Starks to help - all at this point still offer something
I've got a hard time believing  
UConn4523 : 3/14/2015 10:51 am : link
Cooper/White won't be valued significantly higher than anyone other than Fowler, who will likely be gone. So if 1 is there I still expect that as the pick, need or not. You still have rounds 2+ and can still make trades during and after the draft.

Not many teams will have the opportunity to have 2 cheap stud WRs. As bad as everyone wants to win 10+ games next year, it's likely not going to happen anyway (unless we get some major breaks), so preparing for the year after and not worrying about the most dynamic position in the sport is a huge leg up.

Exactly right - we never know what the Giants have. They can always claim X player was their highest ranked player. That's why I said "BBI rankings". And to find those, you just need to read BBI. WRs are ranked really high on BBI this year.

You need receivers and especially in the system we now run (notice how GB stockpiles receivers in the draft). It's also why Vereen might by one of the most under-rated signings of the off-season.

Adding a cost controlled top receiver at 9 like Cooper/White or Parker could make this offense 2011-like or better.

Thanks for the listing, needed a good laugh. Signing free agents that are only roll players, not a starter in the bunch and now the only hope is in the draft and the idea of drafting a WR and offensive line help with the first two picks... ONE MORE TIME, ONE OF THE WORSE DEFENSIVE IN THE LEAGUE FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. The Giants are going to have to score at least 35+ points a game just to have a winning season. Remember, the Giants still have Eli and any giving day Eli can be one of the best QB's in the league and also one of the worse.
It sure looks that way  
JonC : 3/14/2015 11:21 am : link
The strength in the top of this draft appears to be on offense, and namely WR at #9 and OL at #40.

Cruz is an unknown and Randle may not get a second contract. I'd say WR is very much a need.

But the so-called BBI rankings are formed by unpaid couch potatoes with internet access, so they aren't credible enough to even use as a comparison. If Reese tells us Brandon Scherff or La'el Collins was the BPA when the Giants were on the clock, the fact that the BBI consensus says otherwise is no reason to question Reese's claim.
WR at #9 presents an opportunity  
JonC : 3/14/2015 11:27 am : link
to use the draft exactly as it should be, both in terms of present and future, imo. If Cooper or White et al is a player they feel very strongly about, pick him happily and hungrily.

WR isn't the certain strength fans tend to believe it is, right now ...
Regarding the OL  
Coach Mason : 3/14/2015 11:28 am : link
it comes down to how good you think the starting 4 are. They are all second round picks or higher and one of the top OG's on the market last year. I think they are pretty good and the Giants expect better results from them this year.

At #9, I do not think Scherff is as good as Martin nor do I see anyone who could potentially project as an elite LT (except perhaps Peat who the Giants may not be high on).

You can get a guy in round 2 @ 40 who is likely a very good OL. For rough comparison: Cooper+ Cann/Erving/Jackson/Fisher/etc. >>> Scherff+ rd 2 WR

Lastly, Packers stockpile WR in their offense and it's worked great for them. This is a different system than the last. The preference is alot of 3 sometimes 4 WR sets and alot of high level interchangeable receivers. Randle as said previous, may not be second contracted and Cruz is still an unknown. Cooper/White/Parker should be very much in play.

OL is another position  
JonC : 3/14/2015 11:29 am : link
that could clearly be a strong use of the #9 pick, as could edge rusher.

Eric on Li : 3/14/2015 11:42 am : link
Almost every other top 15 graded player is OL/DL and those are the 2 biggest needs on the team. Also both positions are deep enough to expect to be able to get quality players at both 9 and 41. That would be my prediction at this point.

I don't know if I would use #9 on Devante Parker...maybe if we were picking in the middle or late 1st round. I would only move off OL or DL if Cooper is there. I would seriously think about picking Shelton instead of one of the OL if he is there and then go OL at #40
My draft board would look something like this at 9

and I don't rate any of the hybrid edge rushers as Giants prototype DEs.

Therefore I see only 2 players that the Giants will decide from or take what's left and that's Cooper or Parker and Parker is definitely a top 9 talent in this draft.

Having two high end WRs on rookie contracts for the next 4 years is an enormous advantage. Cruz will come off the books when it's time to re-sign Beckham and Eli will be coming off the books when it's time to pay Cooper/White making it realistic to keep both OBJ and Cooper/White for second contracts.

Does anyone expect this team to win the Super Bowl this year? I don't. I hope to see improvement and really challenge for the playoffs. So with that in mind you take the WR to have really dynamic playmakers next year.

As we all know Beckham is really special so lets surround him with weapons. We made 2 nice improvements with Vereen and Harris. Harris will have a role on offense and Vereen will certainly make us a tougher team to defend vs the pass.

Add an explosive WR at 9 and make it tough on defenses to take out Beckham. We try to light up the scoreboard and win with offense.

I expect some options to be there at #9 to make this work.

Could have technically said that the same time last year and we would have missed out on OBJ.

G-men need d-line. Barry Cofield, Osi, just for starters. We know these guys and they know our DC. They should be priced right.
If you could add a stud to one position and only one position for 2015

which position would have the greatest impact upon Wins and Losses in 2015?

I think the answer is a "no brainer" = WR. You already have Beckham who is so good you need to surround him with talent so that other teams can't just focus on taking him out of the game. With the injury Cruz suffered, I'd be shocked if he can ever play at the same level he did before. Randle is just "a guy". So, right now Beckham is pretty much out there all alone. Add another receiving threat, and you change the entire dynamics of the team.

I don't see that kind of impact coming from one player at any other position. Defense would be my choice if the Giants had maybe 5 of the first ten picks in the draft. But with only ONE, my choice is WR. I only pray that there is a WR worthy of the #9 selection when they pick.

With the systems were running offensively and defensively, I'd say it's between a premiere edge rusher and WR depending on fit/value at 9.
