KC seems to be in special need of WRs and if an elite one is at 9 would we have a partner to trade with?
DT. The run defensive is the worse in the league and a defensive end is not going to solve this problem.
FS and SS. Next projected starters for the Giants as of today is Nat Berhe at SS and Cooper Taylor at FS. I don't know about you but that scare me.
OL. It just need to be a good day one starter either at guard or tackle.
With this in mind, lets redo old Frand draft:
1). Danny Shelton, DT, Washington.
2). Best Offensive lineman on the board.
3). Jaquiski Tratt, SS, Stanford.
4). Best Free Safety on the board.
Go with SS first because I believe that this is a strong draft at the free safety spot, but limited at the strong safety.
From what we know about the Giants, Pugh was rated as well as any player left on their board at the time. From that group of equally rated players they chose to take an OT to fill that need. Need or Best Player? Yes. Both.
the giants have more need of a DE and all the DE prospects look more suited to 3-4 OLB than 4-3 DE this year more than any. round 2 looks like the place to go after one of the DE prospects as 9 just seams high for that unless they rate the likes of beasly high enough and he somehow falls to 9 then that might change thier thinking
i can see the arguement for one of the top WR but strengthing the lines on both sides of the ball will make this team more competitive, look what happens when the played one of the better OL or DL teams they get pushed around and have been shutout several times the last few years. i dont want another losing season peppered with highlight catches to beckham or a new WR they just drafted
and go into the next draft looking to fix the lines again
they need to be able to close out games by getting back to giants football,running the ball and stopping the run first. then kill them with beckham and cruz when they force opponents to bring guys up to stop the run. however good the WR is it wont bring them as much wins as fixing the OL and controlling the ball will
I like the idea of taking the best OL in round 1 and taking care of a big need which should align with value. Then DE or WR in round 2. No safety until round 3 earliest.
