Davis is sliding because of bad interviews. Ajayi may have a degenerative knee condition. Wonder if OO is also sliding because of Injury. Add Grady Jarrett and Gabe Wright, penetrating DTs, DT Tyeler Davision, Eli Harold, and Ali Marpet.

Really hoping for a trade down to get back the fourth. This team has a lot of bodies, but little depth. Every extra pick helps, if only to use to trade up again on day three if someone unexpectedly falls.

Also Cann and Anderson.

There goes Marpet.

Trey Flowers. His scouting reports were so good i had to look at some Arkansas tape. This guy is a real good football player and can get to the passer.

Given his off the field shit? Wow. In the second round?

would be great if available!

Do you consider him at this point?

I absolutely LOVE his play, but I am very concerned with his Combine. He was awful all-around.

sliding to the 3rd is a surprise.

Players still out there :
S Adrian Amos Penn State

RB Jay Ajayi Boise State
RB Tevin Coleman Indiana
RB David Johnson
DE Owa Odighizuwa UCLA
WR Jaelen Strong Arizona State
DE/DT Henry Anderson
WR Tyler Lockett

left for round 3. Good value at WR/DT/OG and LB

We got Tuck in the third.

Davis, Odi, Strong, Bennett. Any of them would be very nice here.

Seems like a lot of these guys have either injury concerns or character concerns at this point which sucks. But it's the third round. Doesn't hurt to roll the dice a bit, even if you're missing a fourth round pick.

worked out David Irving. Maybe he's Reese's grand master plan to add some beef on the DL on day three.

When you have hip surgery,not just a hip problem and you play football,that can't be a good thing. I think he'll go somewhere in the third round.

Let's hope this moves a bit better.

Tyler Lockett for me, or Bennett, Anderson or Josh Shaw.

They have need at both CB and S.

Hi. If you like Lockett as a slot receiver,check out hardy from East Carolina. He's not as explosive as Lockett but catches EVERYTHING,gets open with ease and is a bigger receiver.

Getting picked apart on Day 2

they have to address the front 7 on defense.

Although I really like Locket and there are good CBs left.

.

But I love how Lockett runs patterns...he was the only player on that team and still got open regularly and caught more than his share of balls.

they really happy with Hankins, Jenkins, Ellis, Bromley, and Kuhn at DT?

Trade down Jerry.

a high talent character risk or the injury risk

Could this be Odi,PJ Williams or Tyler Lockett?

CB PJ Williams
S Adrian Amos Penn State
DT Carl Davis
RB Jay Ajayi Boise State
RB Tevin Coleman Indiana
RB David Johnson
DE Owa Odighizuwa UCLA
WR Jaelen Strong Arizona State
DE/DT Henry Anderson
WR Tyler Lockett
WR Curtis Conley

Seen this guy down here at Florida Atlantic which is in Boca Raton,Fl. This guy I think is a better corner then most of the players picked before him. Good pick.

And Clemson linebacker
To look out for

for the Jags. Great to get him in the third

Possible player GMEN may be targeting in 3 rd round.

That's my guess

.

down

Is there a Clemson LB left?

Odi, Duke Johnson or Tevin Coleman. Those are my picks in no order. I'd like to get insurance for Cruz and/or JPP.

Whicj LB from Clemson? Anthony and Beasley are gone? You talking Crawford?

I am hoping for either Bennett or Strong. Both have some minor injury problems but are very productive players.

Anderson, or Davison.

Slide into randle's slot when we let him walk next year.

I'm in.

Eli Harold or Carl Davis (barring he didn't completely bomb his interview).

on Defense.

Tevin Coleman or Duke Johnson on offense.

ARod just hit a pinch hit HR on a 3-0 pitch to put Yanks ahead 3-2.

In comment 12264419 JonC said:

Quote:

My guess is Lockett.

Jerry has apparently decided that trading down violates the Constitution.

Prototypical Giants DE. 6'5", 34 1/2" arms, 10 1/2" hands, ran the fastest 40 among true DE's (4.57 I believe) and still learning. NFL.com compared him to JPP. (He can be the JPP of JPP's!) He'll only be 20 at the start of the season. He's already a plus run defender but needs to develop pass rush moves. Still, this is my guy at 74

Jaelen Strong.

Has a tendency to reach. I hope they don't reach here again.

In comment 12264419 JonC said:

Quote:

Strong gives you an outside guy that has stickum for hands and uses his body very well. He had a first round grade.

Locket is versatile, shifty, and can do a lot of things for you.

It might come down to which WR can play better in the slot.

Terrific player but we just signed a third down back.

In comment 12264442 JonC said:

Jaelen Strong.

If he's there, it's tremendous value.

And would replace Randle if Randle is not resigned next yr

Jaelen Strong.

Didn't Strong break his wrist? Does he need surgery? Is that why he's fallen so far?

traded with Washington. They could be eyeing a WR or a replacement for Beastmode.

He apparently played with the injury for most of the year. Didn't stop him. Nothing did

Looking for another slot WR

In comment 12264451 hitdog42 said:

6 in one hand vs half dozen in the other. It depends on what you need the WR to do. If it is the replacement for Randle, it's Strong.

Give me Davis if he's there.

or strong?

.

there goes Lockett

didn't want Lockett

I will stop watching the giants if he's still on the board and we don't pick him

Seattle, ugh!

Strong wont be there for giants

loved Lockett

WR for us

WRs are gone. On to DT??

to Texans

Throws a wrench in the Giants plans

Gone. Shit

Looking more and more like Defense here.

.

But I figured he'd be gone by now.

just took Strong. So he and Lockett are both gone. Would have been OK with either, but we have other priorities.

just trade down

and recoup the 4th rounder

Promise?

that could have a late 1st round or 2nd round grade?

highest CPM of all WR

Odi

Henry Anderson

or henry anderson would be a nice pick

That many here fail to see

In comment 12264494 blueblood said:

Not a bad idea...

.

is an interesting call

4 picks to go... Get passed the Bears and Rams and he might be ours...

If we go WR, or Conley from UGA, not a polished guy but speed speed speed.

...Has To Be The Pick, No?

Would work

Lot of DT chatter coming into today, Davis?

size speed.. under utilized in Georgia because they are heavy run team

In comment 12264498 Emil said:

Odighizuwa, Michael Bennett, Carl Davis, Tevin Coleman and Jay Ajayi

Else Davis or Bennett or aCB

the Giants are not high on Odi.

incredible is that Eli Harold is still on the board. At some point you just draft a guy, even if he isn't a perfect fit for your system.

Has to be medical

Not sure now.

Jay, Harold is a tweener from Virginia. Not fair to compare players but I know you remember Clint Sintum.

Would have been nice. I think he was actually a little underrated.

No shit. So trade down to give us more chances.

Bears took two out of the 3 guys I took for them in the BBI Mock Draft and I took Carl Davis in the second round for them because Eddie Goldman and Jordan Phillips were gone at that point.

just go for it.

lol. would LOVE Odi here but I also have the feeling the Giants will go with a player that none of us expect.

Cmom duke!

Agreed. They have a tendency to reach too much here. Let's hope they stick to BPA and not get cute.

Could use a guy there too

reaching for projects, injury guys last couple of years, will be surprised if he takes Odi. Probably someone not mentioned like Bromley last year

Good point. Maybe we'll have 2 Buckeyes on the DL

great rb

La'el too.

but have a feeling he's a part time player.

Lets think positive Eric ; )

In PJ Williams

Curtis Conley WR -highest CPM of all WR

Odi

Henry Anderson

Tevin Coleman (who they supposedly like too)

Adrian Amos

Tuck, Manningham, and Alford take issue with you!

for purely sentimental reasons. Gotta love his story.

Damn I really wanted Lockett

if not in jail would really solidify the OL.

Would love Bennett here. he plays bigger then he is and shows up at critical times in a game.

No idea why he's fallen this far

Or Jalean Strong.. I had them both in the 3rd

Jay Alford made a play, Jay Bromley might, Hosley stinks, Jernigan stinks, Chad Jones got crushed, Beckam and Barden...meh..the only one we've hit on sort of is Mario Manningham. I BELIEVE again Eric, we are going to hit here.

I'll give you five bums.

comes the Reese equivalent of the K from Lower Slobovia State.

I always think about Tuck.

my bad

That's a 6th or 7th rounder to me

He's not wrong...

Might be worth it over a pick we've tended to blow recently.

at 74.

Flowers or Bennett. Odi? Must not have gotten good medicals on him.

nickel corner too

.

went about two rounds too early.

Its happening!

is in!

Owa Odighizuwa

Harold IMO

Book it

Jarrett

might be a great third round choice, but I would also love Odi here.

Sure.

If you're right about the corner,look for Steven Nelson from Oregon St.

We got odi after the wr got taken.

Great draft

who had a late 1st round grade.

The hip is the question. Speed and power off the edge, heavy hands, love it. And he has room to grow.

Another name to learn...

that would be a steal to me in round 3

Will play a lot of snaps this year

but we might be surprised here.

Great value. Guess the hip injury didn't scare us off.

Really liking their first three picks. It feels rare to really like all three selections. They're having a great draft so far, getting some great players with tons of potential in areas of need.

This is the happiest I've been after the 2nd and 3rd rounds in a long time.

He can see out of both eyes

group hug!

Very glad this has happened.

please no

But it's in the bag

see us take Carl Davis DT

Great. I hope his hip is OK.

ODI.

so I guess he's ours

Let's get re dun JR.

Very interested in hearing how they got to this decision. Lots to ponder. The hips, the size. Is he a 3-4 tweener or a 4-3 RDE. I always thought he was the prototypical 4-3 RDE.

Of course, you know the Giants love the African names.

Three 1st round caliber players

Draft!

Tuck 2.0

Yes!

Great 3 rounds

congrats guys.

Assuming the hip is ok I love this.

every pick has great potential?

JonC and hotdog say the Giants weren't high on OO? I don't have any problems with the pick, but why did he fall so far?

4.56 40, 39 inch vert, good shuttle.

Absolutely love all 3 picks.

The Giants are addressing every issue this draft..

OL.. Addressed..
Safety.. Addressed
Pass Rush.. Addressed

I know about the hips. I assume that he wouldn't have fallen this far unless there was something wrong with his hip.

Nailed it! :-)

With unpronounceable names! I assume ODI is his nickname?

but we are getting some very athletic guys in some desperately needed positions. We have a lot to be excited about.

Heard questions about instincts and fit but apparently not deep questions.

We'll master "Owamagbe Odighizuwa" soon enough.

My color on odi was more that he was not in play on round 2 as the focus was Collins- and after that there were many players on the board ahead.
As of just a few picks before I was certain it would be Lockett and strong- as Abdullah was taken.
Odi and the 3rd round I never got that much further as was at the nets game---- happy to see him in the 3rd-

He's a guy with good size/speed combo - lots of people had him labeled a pass-rush specialist and saw him as a 3-4 OLB. I liked him later in the draft for special teams and thought he had enough in him to at least push to compete.

Don't know - was looking for some better opinions here though. Link below.

good move by the Ravens to take Davis. Another good draft by Ozzie.
