for the Giants. He did at Ole Miss exactly what he did in HS when he was a 5 star WR.
He has the intangibles you have in a WR or you don't, regardless of what their 40 times or any physical measure show, and that is
1)BODY CONTROL
2)HAND CONTROL,
3) ABILITY TO HIGHPOINT THE BALL. (THE MOST IMPORANT TRAIT)
And when I say the ability to highpoint a ball, that is something a receiver has or doesn't. Treadwell is elite in that aspect.
If you disagree with anything I said, just pop in a tape and see that he will be an instant impact WR in the NFL for those reasons.
Would not be surprised if he starts shooting up boards or becomes OROY.
Go get a quality #2 WR via FA.
When you have a player like this you take him. EASILY.
He is an elite WR with traits you cannot teach. Like ODBJ has. Something you have or don't.
And he doesn't have an injury history. Someone fell on his leg in a freak incident.
I'm telling you right now he's a sure fire elite WR in the NFL without a doubt.
Route running needs work.
He has good hands, strong player.
He is a very good blocker.
I did not see him get any noticeable separation against the CB in man on man coverage.
Does not seem like a top 10 talent based the game I watched.
Treadwell against Florida 2015 - ( New Window )
Plus, can see Baltimore or SF grabbing him.
Prefer a #2 in FA such as Sanu, R. Matthews, Kearse or Aiken.
Again, this team needs play-makers on the D.
I will happily watch the tape of him if you will watch the tape of the 2013-15 New York Football Giants.
Because Treadwell is a WR that doesn't come along often. I sound like a broken record but he has traits in a WR that you cannot teach. He reminds me exactly of OBJ.
I think you need to "watch the tape" of the link I attached of his Florida game. He is NOT OBJ, not the same type of receiver.
what more do you want?
you realize OBJ didn't dominate college the way he's doing in the NFL fight?
I'm looking for certrain traits and Treadwell has traits you cannot teach! OBJ like in that aspect.
And beyond that this team needs defensive help far more than another stud WR.

at 10 this year there will be several elite Defensive Prospects
Treadwell isn't just another "WR", he is a elite #1 prow bowl insant impact WR.
That is why I'm a big fan of his. Anyway I'm done here because I'm repeating myself.
He is a very good blocker.
He has good hands and is a really strong player.
His route running needs work - he rounds off his cuts and does not seem to run many variations of a pro offense based route tree.
Several times against man to man coverage he was blanketed.
Nice player, but not OBJ and as other have posted this team needs Defense.
I will remember your name and call you out on your ridiculous "scouting" on a player because of a 1 min youtube armchair analysis. LOL.

Thank you, I am always pleased to accept awards.
Yup, sounds like the same BS. Funny how you didn't hear a peep from that guy about DJ this year after the season started.
We have an impact WR. We now need an impact LB or DL so we can get off the field on 3rd downs.
He had more recieving yards then Shane Vereen. And I told you guys that DUke would be a better player then Vereen at a cheaper price on a rookie contract and i was 100% correct.
Duke had over 600+ yards recieving as a backup with Jonnh Manziel as the QB.
He will have a great year next year.
I would be thrilled with Treadwell. The kid is legit.
I'd also be looking to sign someone like Jermaine Kearse (Travis Benjamin is probably going to get a good chunk of change)
Yes, we need defensive talent but if you feel you can get an elite playmaker in the first round, you need to take him regardless of where he plays.
According to OTC the Giants have 80 million plus dollars committed to offensive player contracts in 2016.
Do the math people, big money contracts including the 10th overall pick have to be spent on the defensive side of the ball.

No, The BS you where spewing was DJ was going to be the next great back in the NFL. Better than any other rookie and then some in his first year. you where wrong then and you are wrong now in the context that the Giants need to take this guy.
People that make the argument that we need to fix the defense therefore the first round pick has to be a defensive player don't make sense. Yes, everybody and their mothers know we need to improve the defense but it will not be fixed with a first round pick. Odds are we do go defense in the first round because of the corners, DL, and LBs available. On the offensive side you have like 2 possible OTs, a WR or 2 and a RB. Of those OT only 1 seems like they woukd be the BPA. Treadwell is a legit BPA if available. And EE could be a really good player at RB but I find it hard to believe he would be the BPA at 10. Therefore, a defensive player is very likely but that shouldn't discount Treadwell either.
I am all aboard the Mario Williams train if he is released. Sign him and keep JPP. Maybe add in a player like Ayers who will not break the bank and your DL/pass rush is looking a hundred times better. Hit the FA market for some vet corners to pair with DRC. I would love to add a vet S. If Berry is available he becomes a top priority. If not then Weddle's name keeps getting thrown around. I would look into Reggie Nelson. He isn't at the top of the list but he would be a perfect complement to Collins which would go along the lines of the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
What do we do about LB? I would bring back Brinkley on a team friendly deal but not guarantee him anything. I would much rather him fight it out and be a backup MLB than Unga. We need more help here but we do have Thomas and Casillas that will play a role with Kennard as well. I think if we can get a stud MLB then the rest of the pieces will fall into place. I don't think we need 3 new LBs. Imo, safety is more important overall since the odds are that our 5th DB will be playing more than our 3rd LB so having a true MLB on the field with one of Kennard/Thomas/Casillas is be just fine especially if we boost up the DL and DBs. If Jack were to fall to us then I woukd be fine with moving Kennard to the middle and have those two on the field. If the ND guy somehow drops to the second I would draft him but that doesn't seem like a possibility.
On the offensive side I would look to add Jermaine Gresham who wouldn't break the bank and he is a great two way TE. I would look into Smith as our RT but that depends on what is happening with our OL. If you have Beatty at LT, Pugh at LG, Richburg at C then what do you do with Flowers? The obvious choice is to put him at RT. However, it was said our OL coach prefers that his guards be massive but mobile at the same time. If we signed Smith then we could put Flowers at RG and then I think that is a really good OL especially one that should be able to run the ball. While RG may not be Flowers best position it is, once again, the whole is better than the sum of its parts mentality.
I would look to add a vet Wr that wont break the bank either which is why I would like a WR like Sanu, Jones, Kearse, or Benjamin just off the top of my head.
I also wouldn't be opposed to signing a back like Lamar Miller if he doesn't cost that much. RBs have been pretty chea in FA the last couple of years if I remember correctly.
All of this seems like a pipedream but that would be my approach. I find it funny on how many Bengals I want to target (Smith, Jones, Sanu, and Nelson) and an ex-Bengal in Gresham.
If we were to accomplish this and Treadwell was available at 10 I think those posters who say we need to draft a defensive player might back off a little unless they love one of the DBs available.
I closely follow college, MIami Hurricanes, and the recruiting.
The common BBI opinion that we "need" to take a defender at 10 is poor decision making. You don't draft need at #10. You take the best player.
The worst part is how arrogant you guys are when you declare we "need" to draft a defensive player when in fact it is fucking stupid to go into the draft planning to ignore offense.
We have FA and the rest of the draft to fix the defense. Immediate needs will be addressed in FA.
That said, I don't think Treadwell or any other WR will be BPA at 10, but some of you guys are flat wrong about the way to draft.
With a top 10 pick you don't draft for need, you take the best player available. We have $50M or so in cap room and the rest of the draft to upgrade the defense.

LakeGeorge, I agree with you, but I think that some of the talent on defense will be in the same row as Treadwell, even if he reaches 10, which is a question mark. If that's the case, I'd go defense.
You're not going to solve the talent problem with one draft, either; nor are we in a position where a couple of players will put us over the top.
The best we will get out of this year is a solid foundation that will allow us to compete against a Dallas team that will be better with Romo playing, a Washington team that was improved this year, and an Eagle team we always have issues with.
we shouldnt be spending our #1 pick on another WR.
he is not a freak... if he were a freak type talent... fine.
the entire defense needs upgrades
Treadwell is as impressive as it gets off the field and his on-field play this year surprised everyone. He can be a star. He can be Dez Bryant without the drama. Him and Beckham together could be lethal.

Last year there was an early mock by Fox Sports with Amari Cooper to the NYG. I never felt that was realistic. Treadwell being available at 10 seems more plausible. How comparable is Treadwell to Cooper, Sy?
Treadwell is a big, physical receiver. he has a huge catch radius. think of hakeem nicks, but much much more athletic, faster.
He is a must take @ #10.
The available talent, the cards, the tea leaves and the needs all say the Giants will draft D Lineman, Primo Linebacker or D Backfield with the 10th Pick
Book It Dano!!!
there are levels boys to this. He is an immediate impact player right off the bat.
he has always been an elite player. high school. 5* WR. #1 WR in his class. fresman of the year. Look at a lot of the elite players you will see they go to college and produce year 1. they go to NFL produce year 1.
He is a more arthletic, faster, and better version of Hakeem NIcks.
Laquon Treadwell's 2016 Sugar Bowl Highlights - ( New Window )
Then you cut Cruz and put the cap savings towards signing FA on defense. Also, several good DL figure to be available when Giants pick in the second round.
I liken him to a more athletic, faster, and better version of Hakeem NIcks.
Laquan was a SEC fresman of the year after he was a 5* WR coming out of high school. He isn't some guy who had 1 big year.
he was THE MAN at ole miss. Every team knew about him.
THis is a can't miss prospect.

Treadwell will have a hard time running sub 4.55
This is not an OBJ type talent as some have referenced.

The comparison I've seen is Dez who is a lot thicker than Parker and plays faster than he times.
Dez ran a 4.52 but he's plenty fast.

Yes, you dinged Treadwell because of a potentially 4.55. Dez ran 3 100s of a second faster and is plenty fast.
Round 1) Vernon Hargreaves/DB/Florida
Round 2) Sterling Shepard/WR/Oklahoma
Round 3) Vernon Butler/DT/Louisiana Tech
Get a pass rusher, OL and a TE on Day 3 and that would be the six picks we have. I also would consider trading down with some of our picks if we can still be in range to draft a player on the same "tier"
I don't see Treadwell close to the prospect Dez was coming out of college. It's only my opinion, I am not a scout.
Glad your done here.

Great post. We have obvious needs on defense, but we are one injury away from having no playmakers on offense. We aren't talented enough to turn away someone who grades out BPA, just because they don't play defense. We have the big stick to swing with our cap space, you guys don't think we'll be using that to fill our needs on D?
Miller has as much upside as any WR in the draft this year, but I am not sure he will do as much as a rookie as Treadwell. That being said, all of the prognosticators thought Sammy Watkins was THE guy and Odell Beckham Jr. was nowhere near him and a late riser. The question I have is with the talent on the DL and at WR this year it may be a better value proposition to look at someone like Hargreaves in Round 1 and draft DL or WR later versus taking Treadwell in Round 1 and taking a Day 2 DB
Miller is a 6th round flyer. Treadwell is a top10 elite WR talent.
YOU are the main reason I do not follow the NFL anymore.
I closely follow college, MIami Hurricanes, and the recruiting.
How about you just never post here again? You're not welcome around here. Why continue to post?

Miller is not a 6th round flyer. After his work at the Senior Bowl most places that have updated their rankings have him, at worst, as a Day 2 player (so Top 100 picks). Miller has only been playing WR at the collegiate level for one season and has elite quickness/explosion. Teams see his physical tools and progression and love his potential if he can keep that up. Personally I would not take him in Round 1 because there is too much bust risk. Treadwell is the top WR in this draft in my opinion and is worthy of consideration at #10, but others in that same position have busted before (see every WR Matt Millen drafted). Odell Beckham Jr. was the third WR drafted his draft year. I am just not sure I see as much of a difference between Treadwell and someone like Sterling Shephard as I do at other positions when it comes to #10 vs. who is currently talked about in the area of our 2nd round pick
that is exactly called HYPE.
you do realize these writers hype up these players? that is there JOB.
You read an article and are basing your opinion on that.

No. I saw Miller play all season with crap at QB. He showed tremendous progress as the year progressed and has continued to look good at the Senior Bowl. Before the Senior Bowl week I did not consider Miller a "6th Round flyer". Because of his obvious risk being new to the position I had a 4th Round grade on him. Watching him in practice this week against better competition and a better QB throwing the ball I may have been a little conservative in my initial assessment. I still would not take him in the 1st Round, but I do feel he deserves to go in the Top 3 rounds. Much like Treadwell, Miller's ultimate ranking will depend largely on how he looks in the route running drills at the combine. John Brown was a "late round flyer" heading into the combine, lit it up and was drafted by Arizona in the 3rd Round and has looked like a value there at this point in his career.
Realistically though, I'd still take Ronnie Stanley over him
...that way I can watch the fucking 2016 Giants defense let up a record number of points and yards.
Yep.
Can't fucking wait.
Duke Johnson was a nice player.. but you really did overrate him, that being said.. your credibility hasn't been earned and the lack of class puts you squarely in the troll category. LOL.. Find someplace that can accommodate your "genius".
we overpaid for shane vereen and instread we could have gotten a better RB, a just as good reciever, and on a rookie conract.
our RB's are ridiclous avg and slow.

You predicted he would be OROY. He was not. Duke Johnson also was a greater part of their passing game which is why he had more catches. As a rusher, which is the primary responsibility for RB, Vereen had a much better YPC. Their YPC receiving were roughly identical. This despite the Giants OL being atrocious

I seem to recall you saying duke would be the next best thing since AP, but yet he couldn't even beat out Crowell. And even if we did have him Coughlin would of done the same thing trot out andre Williams over and over again. At least the spoogfest over Aaron Donald was for a GREAT player not some backup
Stiull racked up 600+ receviing yards and was a threat as a rookie.
he will only get better.
he would be the NY GIANTS RB starter.
isntead we draft an injury prone DE who ddint paly.
I predicted exactly what would happen.

He couldn't beat out Crowell yet he was going to be the starter for the Giants. The Giants also had multiple WR's who would have been the top WR for the Browns. They had less at QB, but it is not like Johnson was competing with a bunch of spectacular options for touches. If we don't have Reuben Randle, Vereen would have gotten a good portion of the looks that went his way which would have caused Vereen to have more yardage than Johnson receiving. That is on top of Vereen's greater YPC as a rusher. I don't see you talking about that since it undermines your entire argument.
He checks every box other than elite deep speed:
Great blocker, strong, tough, great after the catch, great body control, no off the field issues, junior entry, produced on a team with subpar talent around him, great complement to Odell, red zone threat.
Not much else to ask for.
Then go defense rounds 2-7.

I am inclined to agree. If Amari Cooper had been available last year and the Giants took him I would not have been upset.
If Treadwell is truly the BPA for the Giants if available @ #10 I would have zero issue taking a receiver who will be cost controlled for the next 4-5 years especially considering OBJ will need a new contact in another year or two... he would create a bonafide threat on the outside which would would allow the Giants to move OBJ around more to take advantage of the defenses..
I expect the Giants to invest their FA money on the defensive side of the ball where this is talent and a definite need for VETERAN leadership...
I learned last year when looking at the draft.. be flexible.. dont fixate on any one player or any one position..
Lay off the caps lock. As I said earlier, Treadwell is my top WR this year. That being said, I would prefer Amari Cooper who gets better separation and was much smoother with his routes coming out of college.
he is an elite WR and an elite athlete.

He is a big guy with a large catch radius and strong hands, but he is not as elusive as Beckham Jr. or Cooper. Outside of the New Mexico State game there were a lot of contested catches versus Cooper who is impossible for a CB to stick to. There were definitely some underthrown balls that took Treadwell back into the defender, but I would like to see him be able to get off coverage better. Also a lot of the routes Ole Miss had for him was run as deep as you can and high point the ball. That won't work in the NFL. Cooper was in more of a pro style O so that aided transition to NFL
