"Snee said he liked the toughness and nastiness of Iowa's Brandon Scherff. "He's got that in him," Snee said of the fire he and the Giants like to see from their linemen. Miami's Erick Flowers, he said, "has a little edge to him" but "he'd be a work in progress."

Scherff and Flowers at the top, Peat 3rd, Collins not even in the mix
Snee volunteered to help offensive line coach Pat Flaherty grade video of college players as the Giants prepared for the upcoming draft. Among the players he was asked to study were several who have been linked to the Giants and their ninth overall selection on Thursday night.
And he did not get a chance to study LSU's La'el Collins.
The Giants ask him to look at some guys, he looks at Scherff/Flowers/Peat but doesn't look at Collins. Guess I can stop dreaming about Collins in blue.
If I'm the Giants and he's doing this for the team, even though his opinion isn't binding - I'd tell him to keep his opinions confidential
The Giants would not allow Pugh and Snee make statements unless they were previously edited.
The fact that both of them are making such positive comments about Scherff seems choreographed and contrived. I think that there is a smoke screen being set to conceal their real intentions.

What's the difference. Do you see anybody trying to jump in front of the Giants to get Scherff?
There will be plenty of lineman at 40 that we could be looking at as well that Snee could be helping to evaluate.
I honestly feel the media and fans are being played with the talk of Flowers at 9. Listening to evaluations of the lineman, Flowers is not close to being the best (Peat) or potentially the best (Humprhies).
The Rams will probably be content to take whoever the Giants don't take before them for the 2nd year in a row. Just like they got Donald last year, they can get a great pick at O-Line this year.

Allow?
Good fucking hell. Some of you cats are way too conspiratorial.
Sherff is a target. And possibly the top OL target for the Giants for a reason.
Settle down.
Disinformation? There's not a ton of that going around at 9 unless they're poised to deal. And that's not happening.
Occam's Razor type shit here. Breath a little bit.
Whrn does he say anything about anyone.
I took Pugh as candid but Snee won't talk unless directed.
That's hypothetical, but we don't know enough to state confidently what Flowers' lack of development means.
Flowers is also very young, he just turned 21 thus last week.
Don't put in much time thinking through this other than to try and grade each position individually.
This is not necessarily true. For example, I think Scherff is the pick if he is there, but he may not be there for us pending on how things play out (among the OL, he is the one guy who you often see going ahead of us).
And then there are questions of, do you like an OL over a talent in a position of lesser need? If they have a choice between White or your top OL, which way do they go? What about your #2 OL vs. a guy like Parker, Waynes, Shereidan, Gurley or whoever?
It is not only ranking the linemen, it is also a matter of, do they like them enough to pass up on some other talent that may be available.
