With the two big trades players are falling and options at ten are growing. We all know the players that will probably be there. The Giants don't miss in the first so I am confident we will get a good player. But with so many options who is the guy you DON'T want?
Mine is Hargreaves. Don't want a slot corner with tenth pick.
Who is yours?
I'd take the LT (RT) over the CB though. CB bores me even though it's a critical position.
I agree if the pick stays at 10. I wouldn't mind him later in the first with a trade back or at 40.
I am starting to hope for a trade down IF Jack is gone. If he is there at 10 the Giants shouldn't hesitate. If Jack is gone I would be happy with another 2nd and an OL like Conklin or Decker.
Even then: maybe.
Elliot will be a good pro but isn't worth the pick. Not unless the blocking improves.
Treadwell would be a second rounder IMO in normal years.
Hargreaves is good but I like Apple better.
Even Bosa (airhead raver?) and Buckner (is he chris Canty or is he Calais Campbell?) aren't slam dunks.
I think Conklin is the safest pick likely but also the one with by far the least upside.
Behind this line, as it stands, it's not going to be easy for him....but I saw Jennings run through some holes for 20-30 yards, that Wilson would have taken to the house....and Elliot brings that to the table.....this offense needs more than two playmakers(Eli and OBj)......and with him back there, the defense has to respect the possibility of him getting the ball, thus opening the pass game a little more on 3rd down, or him busting a long one with 8 in the box.....
To add an element like him, to this offense, spreads the field a little more.....and if we can somehow get someone for the right side of the line, it makes him more dangerous.....
Problem is, we can't fix everything......It all depends on who is there at 10, and what the backup plan is, if the guy we want isn't there.....the fix becomes another option....
Let's face it, even if everything falls into place with all the new players, this team is still, at least, another year away, from Eli getting his 3rd ring....I hope we are headed in that direction....
The long term improvement of adding him is huge. The Giants at some point have to think short term unless they figure they can replace Eli manning.
Elliott, Conklin, Lawson, Apple, Stanley, Rankins, all fit that qualification. Would love Bosa, but that's a pipe dream that he'll be there at 10.
2) Jack- yup, jack. He is overrated and is a tweener. Not really a LB'er and not really a safety. Great athlete but just don't see him being an instinctive pro.
3) Elliott
I won't be thrilled if the pick is Treadwell or Elliot either. We have bigger needs than RB, and Treadwell shouldn't be the 1st WR selected. I like Josh Doctson over him and not sure they should even go WR at #10.
For example I don't have Top 10 'grades' on Treadwell, Elliot or Floyd. They don't possess that type of resume historically as college prospects imo. Yet the Giants could be forced into choosing among them if they stay at the #10 pick.
The OT debate has gotten very interesting with Conklin apparently closing in on Stanley based primarily on superior intangibles.
Not a huge fan of Treadwell but he reminds me a bit of Amani and Hicks. Would we have picked either at 10?
2) Jack- yup, jack. He is overrated and is a tweener. Not really a LB'er and not really a safety. Great athlete but just don't see him being an instinctive pro.
3) Elliott
Jack is a 'tweeter? at 245 lbs, running a 4.6? Are you looking for 265 lb LBs who run a 4.5?
Would be ok with Lawson and Buckner.
Would be ok with a WR bc Reese knows WRs.
Would be slightly disappointed with Jack bc of the knee and Hargreaves bc of our roster composition.
there's plenty of "don't wants" - like any player with an injury history, character issues, high risk, undersized, avg speed, etc..
Don't want with our no. 10 pick:
Jack (inj),
Floyd (hi rsk),
Stanley (undisciplined/hard to motivate),
Nkemdiche, Ogbah, and Spence (character issues)
any QB (no need)
Buckner
Tunsil
Lawson
Jack
In that order
Not saying I can't be wrong, but I would want Elliott, Hargreaves, and Buckner should he fall (not likely).
Don't want Treadwell, but he could be awesome too.
I want the Defense addressed: DE, S, and CB.
Want a good WR too. Gonna have to take what they can get, can't get all those guys in the first round, especially if they take Elliott, not a need, but the best player IMO if he is there at 10.
He turned 21 before he was drafted, let alone played.
He's 22 on Monday.
Really don't want Treadwell. Even at 40.
Jack, Floyd, Elliott any of these guys, please.
Dare I say...overrated
So you'd be alright with Bootsie Ball, PK, from DeVry?
I see a lot of Hargreaves around our 10 pick. I don't want that. Would be disappointed is we went with a CB in round 1 unless it is Ramsey who is a Safety anyways. And he won't be at 10.
Yes to Mack, Elliott or Floyd as I believe all three have the potential to be great.
I'm OK with anyone else, although I'd prefer we trade down if we're going to select Conklin.
I'm not scared about Floyd...comparing him to Sintim is ridiculous, as he is SO much more athletic and can actually go backwards. It would be nice if his extra weight led to better tackling, but I think that if we took him Spags would find mismatch after mismatch for him. If Spags could do that for Pierce and Mitchell, I can just imagine what he'd do for Floyd.
Guys I love at 10th
Elliot,Buckner,Decker,Treadwell,Ragland,Hargreaves,Treadwell,all these guys I like alot so I would be very happy.
