2015 NFL Draft First-Round Discussion Thread

They needed this guy on the OL. I like the pick.

Zac Stacy Now Gurley With Foles and no WRs.... they will run it 60 times a game.

But they need blockers

Just called him an aircraft carrier?! Big, strong guy. Strongest in draft.

No thanks. Been there. Done that.

He's had knee surgery before but only missed one game from it.

Missed one game the last 2 seasons

That is all, for now...

I'm happy for him. Glad he's not a Cowboy so I don't have to root against him.

Probably Shelton to Browns,

A run game, with nasty on OL is what they want, and we wanted .
I bet 1/2 the sudden lovers per 'rather have Peat' comments hated Peat because he was soft.

He was the first person I heard talked about by the Giants back in January. I think he was their guy all along. Obviously not BPA, but, he's clean, we need an OL, he's young, so he'll learn, not a dick from what I hear, and TC says he's an aircraft carrier.And he's Basty. And healthy. And now we have a O-line.

It may not have been the best pick, but I think it was the best move.It settles some big issues.I'm content with it.

I preferred Flowers over Scherff. Face it, we needed a tackle and we got one. I felt Flowers had the higher ceiling for tackle.

not basty

I said all along if the Giants were set on OL and Scherff was gone then Flowers had to be the guy. Collins was out. And Peat is fourth best out of that group.

It will be really interesting how the camp competitions shape out. I like putting Pugh in a position of being uncomfortable. I think he'll step up and play really well regardless of position.

Did the Giants pick even happen? Talk about a tree falling in the woods . . . no interest in it at all.

He can help Eli. Good stuff.

Yep

And that he was their top player on the board. He said they also spent a tremendous amount scouting him and feel he is an extremely talented young guy.

to see so little movement more than 1/3 of the way through the round. No trades yet.

happy with the pick. Now get a S in rd 2 or 3.

good athlete. Fills a big need, I hope we get a pass rusher next.

.

he might not be done growing yet! They're already saying he's a beast (or, in TC's case, an aircraft carrier). This is a good pick for the Giants. He is a good fit with the team.

for a 3-4 team. Especially with the way Rex Ryan and Pettine play it. Thats a good pick for the Browns. But with the way the Giants play, he wasn't a fit

picks up the commish on stage. Awesome.

Shelton or Waynes would have been my pick.

at #40.

possibly getting Malcom Brown

Even Eisen said it was awkward with no Jets and Giants reaction. I don't think he likes the presentation so far. No real crowd interaction.

damn physical, between him and Schwartz. Looks like we will be running more to the right.

Why? malcolm gordon would be worse.

Bit of a surprise.

there wasn't too much doubt we'd be going OL very, very early. Most likely no later than 40.

??

so BPA meets need

I hope Flowers turns out to be the superior player. Peat might be better at least pass blocking early on.

they need to protect drew's blindside.

goes to guard

but Peat vs. Flowers will be fun to follow. I personally would've preferred Peat by a little bit but I'm not bugging out about that, I think they're close as prospects.

.

When Jeremiah was suggesting him at 6 to Jets before FA and the return of Revis most people were like get out of here with that info.

Really excited. Sounds like a nice young guy.

in the 2nd

to see that Rich is in his full hate mode about the pick. I would have taken Peat, but Flowers is a fine pick.

I always thought dupree was top 10

Yeah we were banged up on the OL, but the biggest problem was probably just the talent level. If it took a first rounder to put John Jerry on the bench it was well worth it.

is on the phone now. He is excited to be a Giant, and wants to play. Good advice from Diehl telling him to find a veteran mentor.

He is a monster!!!
