If Jack is the pick, the Giants will have deployed a hell of a smokescreen and Raanan will have some egg on his face.


It would also indicate a major shift in draft strategy as they just don't do smokescreens...at least they haven't in the past.

I think if there was receiver deserving of the number 10 pick,we would pick him. We should be desperate for a wideout. That being said, I wouldn't be very upset if we selected Coleman.
I'd take Doctson over Coleman..  
Goin Deep : 4/28/2016 12:13 pm : link
But only after a trade back to mid 1st rnd.
So, Eric, a trade up for Elliot?

Eric, Agree about WR  
ZogZerg : 4/28/2016 12:14 pm : link
I'll be surprised if the Giants don't draft a WR in one of the first 2 rounds.

And, CB is really thin as well, but I could see them trying to fill this later in the draft.

always appreciate the input from arguably legit asshats, across the board

That said, I would hate it if Lawson were the pick, which I think your list allows as a possibility

Doctson would be heaven, at the right slot

I seriously think the giants "highest rated by position" is based on who they could get, not everyone in the draft.

I have heard this statement about David wilson, Flowers, even Rueben Randle.

ThatLimerickGuy : 4/28/2016 12:38 pm : link
Is that it's not a me v. anyone thing and the end result will probably be what most of us think- Floyd as the pick.

Ramsey, Tunsil, Jack, and Buckner will all be gone, leaving us with Floyd who I think myself and any beat reporter thinks is the most likely possibility.

The only real difference between what anyone else is hearing and what I am hearing is that now a lot of people are saying it's Conklin, which I've not heard. On a personal note I don't think the Giants can even invest that much 1st round draft talent into the OL because eventually all need to get paid. So for those saying you might only get 5 years from Jack, be prepared to lose Flowers in 5 years anyway when a team backs up the Brinks truck for him.

The only other thing I am hearing different than anyone else is that the Giants won't pass on Jack at 10.

Where things are going to get really weird is if the following guys are all gone:

Ramsey
Tunsil
Jack
Buckner
Floyd

Which is a very very real possibility.

As I said the other day, the best laid plan for the Giants is for 1 of 4 guys (Ramsey, Tunsil, Jack, Buckner)
to be sitting there at 10 and they truly do think that is going to happen. It makes sense too, as Elliot isn't getting out of the top 8 and I still hear that a QB is going to go 7, whether to the niners or someone else in a trade. So if Goff, Wentz, Elliot, and Lynch all go before the Giants then if just one more guy outside of their top 4 sneaks into the top 10 they are Golden, whether it be Stanley or Bosa or Rankins or Hargreaves.

To be fair, 100% taking Jack and 100% passing on Jack is a pretty big gap. Especially since he's arguably the best pound for pound player in the draft pre-injury.

This sounds very likely. I really like Floyd and I think NYG likes then a lot mainly because they think he has the best chance to be available and can hopefully keep the rest of their picks and not move up.
What I've heard today  
JonC : 4/28/2016 1:07 pm : link
is the pick is expected to be Floyd or Conklin, and if both of them are gone the belief is a better prospect has slipped to them. Jack is "doubtful".

One name I've not heard once this entire offseason is Lawson.

Jack is doubtful to slip or doubtful to be the pick if he's there?
Lawson?  
JonC : 4/28/2016 1:12 pm : link
Not explosive or quick-twitch enough, a bit undersized relative to their premium prototype, body needs a lot of revamping, and his projected upside isn't premium pass rusher in the NFL. Not high enough for #10, imv. Shoulder was also flagged, that's a fact.

Why doubtful? Doubtful because of the injury concerns or doubtful becauss he will probably not be available when we pick?

His shoulder was cleared at medical rechecks.
Conklin...  
Strip-Sack : 4/28/2016 1:19 pm : link
is starting to make more and more sense...wonder which way they'd go if both are there. If it is Conklin, the Giants will have two of the nastiest bookend tackles in the NFL no doubt!
Not a fan of lawson at 10 at all

But not sure I unserstand the proto type talk anymore. They won't draft a De who isn't 6'4+,but will pay Vernon(6'2).
By the Giants?  
JonC : 4/28/2016 1:19 pm : link
general clearance isn't necessarily a bottom line.
Vernon's a proven pro

It almost sounds possible that the following could be there

Floyd, Lawson, Conklin, Elliot, Hargreaves, Bosa, Jack, Treadwell.

Out of that group a handful should be there. I'm thinking a lot of us are going to be pissed off with who they pass on.

So from what we;ve heard are these the two tiers?  
BigBlue1092 : 4/28/2016 1:34 pm : link
Tier One
Ramsey
Tunsil
Buckner
Jack* (Between One and Two with injury)

Tier Two
Floyd
