DT Sheldon Rankins is rising fast!

Jason La Canfora & #8207;@JasonLaCanfora
Sheldon Rankins is going to end up going in the top 10. Maybe even as high as 4th overall to Dallas




Seemed like only yesterday he was one of my favorite Day 2 players
I wish nyg were interested in him  
jayg5 : 4/27/2016 12:30 pm : link
Of course, the nyg wouldn't like his height/weight though. Infuriating how the NYG use that strategy.

Sy'56 : 4/27/2016 12:31 pm : link
they are getting Aaron Donald here. It's a copycat league...I don't think Rankins is on that level.
Wow, so it sounds like there will be 20 players drafted  
ZogZerg : 4/27/2016 12:31 pm : link
in the top 10.
He  
Jon in NYC : 4/27/2016 12:32 pm : link
was never going to fall to the 2nd after the Senior Bowl, so that was delusional.

Garafolo just this morning thought he could go no. 9 to Tampa.
I do not at all  
jayg5 : 4/27/2016 12:35 pm : link
Think he's Donald. But he's one of few dt's in this draft that can rush the passer.
Good!  
Kevin in CT : 4/27/2016 12:36 pm : link
Push Jack right to us!
For me that's a reach...  
Torrag : 4/27/2016 12:36 pm : link
...based on the success of a few lighter penetrating DT's like Atkins and Donald has people looking for the next one.

Love to see this guy going off the board before us.
Rankins  
mdthedream : 4/27/2016 12:38 pm : link
looked very good during Senior Bowl practices and game.
Cool. That would be great  
Jimmy Googs : 4/27/2016 12:38 pm : link
for us.
I  
AcidTest : 4/27/2016 12:39 pm : link
would take Butler before Rankins.
The more I think about it....with Darwa's injury and our other JAG's  
GiantBlue : 4/27/2016 12:42 pm : link
at RB.....I hope we go Elliott.

If he gets past Dallas at 4, we would have a shot if Miami doesn't trade up.
Highly doubt NYG goes pure DT  
JonC : 4/27/2016 12:43 pm : link
but a hybrid talent such as Buckner or Nkemdiche would make sense, they can play on the edge as well as inside.
'I hope we go Elliott.'...  
Torrag : 4/27/2016 12:45 pm : link
God no. Bad idea.

The idea to embrace is the Elliot, Rankins and Lynch of the draft going before the Giants pushing a stud defensive player to us at #10.
I think Mike G on Twitter this morning  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 4/27/2016 12:47 pm : link
said Rankins to the Bucs at 9 a possibility.

Doesn't really change much, according to the asshats... It's going to be Floyd, either way... Unless Ramsey or Tunsil drop is which is unlikely
I'm no fan of drafting a RB in round #1  
Carl in CT : 4/27/2016 1:24 pm : link
But Elliott over Floyd? In a Nee York Minute! Give me anyone in the top #25 over Floyd.

No, he's not. But he's good.

Or Buchner
It's the time of the season  
jeff57 : 4/27/2016 1:27 pm : link
for smoke and mirrors.

I also read a week or two ago that Dallas loved Lawson and could take him at 4.
I love this  
Glover : 4/27/2016 1:49 pm : link
idea of some player "rising fast" as if he has done something extraordinary since the last game that he played that made teams drastically reconsider his worth. He was always where he was on team's boards. He's only rising as far as we know.
Rising fast?  
kporzee : 4/27/2016 2:02 pm : link
Probably more like a writer gets some real info from a team rather than relying on mock drafts. Teams boards aren't changing much, if any around now.
I'd really be surprised if Dallas passes on Ramsey.

The closest thing to Donald in this draft is Andrew Billings...wonder why he is not rising and all the so called experts are on the Rankins??
Seen extensive tape on both and Billings is much more dominate...Billings is definitely one of my favorite players in this draft and hope he is on the Giants board at 10
I'm not sure how you see  
jayg5 : 4/27/2016 3:14 pm : link
Billings being remotely close in comparison to Donald. 2 totally different players. One is a penetrating dt, shooting gaps by using explosive 1st step and quickness, the other is clearly a nose tackle with great strength, who you hope at times can collapse a pocket, but there to stop the run.
Vernon Butler is the guy I think that is going to sneak  
jlukes : 4/27/2016 3:15 pm : link
sneak into the Top 20
this guy is high on my list,  
prdave73 : 4/27/2016 4:51 pm : link
I wouldn't mind him with the 10th pick. He looked unblockable in the senior bowl practices. Reminds me a lot of Donald, his build and height.
Oh my god make it stop  
djm : 4/27/2016 6:22 pm : link
Dallas will pick Ramsey or Bosa or Buckner. Bet the house. They aren't drafting rankings at 4.

Rising fast = media catching up
