Who is your "throw the remote" pick?

I was thinking he could be a solid possibility. However, after watching him do the OL drills, specifically the mirror drill at the combine I changed my mind big time. He obviously has trouble with those massive legs. He was completely gassed and dropped any technique he had.. He will be a liability at a time when you will need him the most. Pass. if you want to go OL, take Scherff or La'el Collins.

For me its any WR not named Cooper or White. Anyone else would be a major reach at #9, and we could easily land a good WR in Rd 2 or even Rd 3.

No fffin way I want this guy as a Giant. OK maybe a round 5+ project....

At pick 9 I don't want a olb/de or a OT/G, I want a guy who they know what he is day 1. Sometimes it's can make you think versatility, but too many times it leads to a scheme misfit. Teams draft these players excited to see what they can do with them, in the end it seems like they never really have a position.

I don't mind risking later in the draft, but not at pick 9.

We need a stud.

Collins

Or any of these DTs.

Not one of these DTs are worth a top 20 pick let alone a top 10 pick.

In round one that is (with a trade down or not)

Especially at #9

....or any Wide Receiver.

Go back and read the thread when we drafted Beckham and realize how stupid it is to be reactionary.

and go with a clear 'need' pick and pass a consensus blue chipper that is sitting there. No reaches at 9 please. I want BPA value.

.

Bingo!

"Out of the box" to warrant me throwing the remote. There is a lot of talent in the Top 15 and you can easily make a case for a lot of players.

frickin Peat...we're talkin brick not remote.

Dupree - I don't want Scherff, but Dupree is that guy. All you hear is measurables, athletic ability, etc, etc - then watch him play and be disappointed

But I will be very disappointed if Reese takes a receiver in the first round again. You mentioned pairing beckham and cooper for ten years. That will never happen. With the way the salary cap is structured it would not work. If OBJ continues his level of play he will get a Calvin Johnson type contract, making it almost impossible to keep Cooper for a second contract.

Even though the value might be best, drafting another first round receiver completely ignores the real issue with this team in the trenches. I am all for Reese taking a receiver in the mid rounds but to me the first pick has to be an offensive or defensive lineman if the Giants want to compete this year.

.

Is this your official "Well, I guess I was wrong (again)" thread for next year? Are you trying to secretly root for Peat or putting this out there as some kind of reverse voodoo hex?

I don't care about Peat one way or the other since I agree with CiP's thinking, but to start a thread by basically saying "Hey, I was absolutely dead wrong about these two throw the remote picks, and this year's throw the remote is Peat" seems a bit odd. Unless you're rooting for Peat to succeed.

The value of drafting a top receiver is protecting yourself against injury. Depth. And making it impossible to double cover either one without consequence. It makes the offense better. It makes running the ball a little easier.

I find it weird that for a team as injured as the Giants have been for two years, nobody is considering what would happen if Beckham does get hurt. We'd be legitimately back to square 1, and you'd be counting on unreliable players like Donnell and Randle to carry the offense.

there should be no such thing as a throw the remote pick. The only guy I'd be somewhat upset with is Shelton, and that's only because he's probably a two down player.

I will not only throw the remote, I will go outside and set myself on fire

I will be happiest if the pick is a player to fortify the trench - either side. And I for one, think Peat is a gem that will solidify the offensive line for the next decade - and I can't say that about the other options which are basically guards listed as tackles.

checked the seat cushions, under the couch..not sure where it went. Have to walk to the tv to turn the darn thing on and change channels.

But, I think I will feel a letdown if Cooper or White are on the board and they pass on them. By the next day I'll think that whoever they chose was a great pick and the best they could have made. By November, I will hate him.

I just have doubts that they would pick a ten-year solidifier when the decade will start at year two but their window is one year.

Morning 31..There was a little to pretty big letdown on here when we passed on Martin and Donald, no?

my letdown was when Evans and then Ebron got picked but picked back up with Beckham (even though, other than reading the bio, I didn't really know who Beckham was at that point). I guess I always want a receiver.

Many of us have learned throwing the remote is not a good idea so what we really do is just come here and vent about how much we hate the pick.

To answer the question, I will be disappointed with any pick that does not play on the oline.

I hated the pugh pick. he was projected to be a second rounder. I hope they trade back and grab another 3rd. Dream scenario is trade back into the teens and grab best trench player available and then have 3 picks in the next two rounds to address OL/DL safety, wr, LB.

BTW, i was listening to BBK and people are saying Denzel perryman can fall to round 3 because of size. I would FRAME my remote if we got Sherff in round 1, Agholor in round 2 and perryman in round 3.

not named Vic Beasley, especially Landon Collins. There's going to be several busts and letdowns from the first rd this year.

If 1-8 that had a need but wised up to those 2 and passed, and we planned for 'after Eli with a better guy'(than RN).
Green-Beckham.
Any guy that was damaged; at least at 9 and 49.

picks. Get a player, not a prospect.

With a brick tied to it...and a big jar full of Japanese hornets.

Awful value.

Need to Beef up either line .

vs a football player.

it was Beckham. I thought he would be successful (not what he is, obviously) but didn't think he was the right fit in the offense with Cruz already there. I wanted a taller WR or Martin/Donald.

In 2010, it was JPP. Didn't want to draft a guy with so few games played.

I give up on throwing the remote.

But there would be a bunch of shrug my shoulders picks potentially. Ray, Beasley would have me shrugging or SMH. I think Sheriff has me SMH. Other O Linemen I will believe the Giants evaluators are smarter than me.

...but I don't want a player that needs "coaching-up" because our coaches haven't shown much ability to do that on either side of the ball.

Want no part of somebody who's even rumored to be soft. If it's OL we need a madman like Scherff or Collins.

I can feel safe saying who/whomever is taken at 9 will be an impact player and cornerstone player. This I have 0 doubts.

You said it brother.

Whatever the pick is somebody is throwing a remote.

Who is a great prospect but needs time to get acclimated.

I learned that lesson when I was upset that a team whose only strong position was LB drafted a tweener (I don't think the term was used yet) DE to play LB with the #2 overall pick. (For those of you too young to remember, that was LT)

would be mine.

would not incite me to throw the remote. The vision of Eli throwing to 2-3
great receivers is sufficient to get me to kiss that remote. I understand your math, but do not comprehend why assigning a huge salary to a non receiver will not put the Giants in as bad a salary cap position as giving the $ to a receiver. Remember also that the huge salary you fear cannot happen for at least another 3 years, due to rookie pay scales - and those 3 years that could be Eli's best ones, where his QB smarts continue to grow & before his physical abilities start to diminish. Just contemplate that scene before thinking of throwing your remote.

Except for the fact the cap keeps going up every year..
