Randy in CT : 4/28/2016 3:31 pm : link

about that 10th pick of yours!!

*Christian Hackenburg

Anakim : 4/28/2016 3:31 pm : link

One thing

Giantophile : 4/28/2016 3:35 pm : link

is clear: there is going to be a lot of talent still on the board at 40. I hope Hackenberg and Cook find their way into the top 39.

Odd that you have

mrvax : 4/28/2016 3:36 pm : link

Darron Lee to the next round while NFLscout posted a linebacker review naming him as the best LB in this draft.

So many polar opinions.
Thanks, Sy.

Reading is Fundamental!

TC : 4/28/2016 3:37 pm : link

Or maybe, I've just had a long day. But I started out wondering, "Why did the Giants takes QB's in the first two rounds!?!?"

Thanks, Sy, it IS fun! (But only if read correctly.)

I think Ryan Kelly goes somewhere in the 16-24 range

ryanmkeane : 4/28/2016 3:37 pm : link

...

As much as we need WR and DE

LakeGeorgeGiant : 4/28/2016 3:39 pm : link

I can't help but want them to take Karl Joseph at 40.

Thanks!

JayBinQueens : 4/28/2016 3:39 pm : link

How many trades would you predict for the 1st round if you had to guess (not including the ones that have happened already)?

Hackenburg round 1?

KWALL2 : 4/28/2016 3:39 pm : link

Looks the part with a nice arm but damn he's inaccurate.

Sy, thanks

edavisiii : 4/28/2016 3:40 pm : link

I've been reading this site for over a decade and I always enjoyed your updates. Your guess is as good as anybody's! Mock drafts are never that accurate. You have 32 teams who do things 32 different ways. How can anybody predict that. If you go back and see how inaccurate most are you have to laugh. But, it gives us all an escape! Thanks for all the time you put in for our enjoyment.

I like Hackenberg

ryanmkeane : 4/28/2016 3:44 pm : link

when he had time to throw, dude was money. He was running for his life the whole season last year.

Thanks Sy!

RB^2 : 4/28/2016 3:44 pm : link

You have Buckner going third, which is a big departure from everyone else. Just wondering what you're seeing there.

Quick Q - is this where you think guys are going based on teams

jcn56 : 4/28/2016 3:45 pm : link

and interests, or where you think guys would go if you were picking them?

I'd be happy with either he or Shepard, but wish they could take both!

Bosa to Dallas pisses me off

I know this...QB coaches love this kid. All of them. And Elway being a QB himself...I could see it happening. If he gets drafted early...the reputation of James Franklin takes a big hit

In that you hate Bosa or hate they are getting him. I just don't want Dallas to get Ramsey. I feel he is the only Super-Impact player in the draft. Bosa is very good, but is not elite.

A lot. I think we are going to see more than 8 trades tonight.

Thanks, Sy.

Lee was a guy I kept trying to find a spot for. I suppose its possible ATL takes him instead of Jack. Otherwise I don't see the fit for him in the second half of round 1.

I think this is the craziest draft buildup that I remember.

Ira : 4/28/2016 4:02 pm : link

But it doesn't bother me any more. It's just a show. We usually do get a good player in the end.

Sy'56

jtfuoco : 4/28/2016 4:03 pm : link

Do you plan on making your picks live again based on what's available as if you where on the clock?

If you're making predictions, Sy . . . .

TC : 4/28/2016 4:04 pm : link

what time do your predict the Giants go on the clock?

�This +1

Agree Sy....

edavisiii : 4/28/2016 4:09 pm : link

We should at 10 get an elite player. I also think at 40 we should get someone we had a 1st round grade on that slips to 40. I think rounds 4 through 6 is where we need to excel if we are going to improve through this draft. That is where the grades get closer and you can aim to fill needs.

Rjanyg : 4/28/2016 4:13 pm : link

Looks like an accurate draft. I like the guys you have available for round 2!!

The top ten makes to much sense.

wgenesis123 : 4/28/2016 4:25 pm : link

This draft is going to be screwy in the top ten.

Thanks SY BUT

GMen23 : 4/28/2016 4:43 pm : link

Why do I feel you gave us Floyd, partly due, to not wanting to hear the backlash for the next few hours. LOL! appreciate the work.

OC2.0 : 4/28/2016 4:48 pm : link

allstarjim : 4/28/2016 4:48 pm : link

I like how you have Rankins in the top 10... so do I, at 7 to the Niners. I have Nkemdiche at 9 to the Bucs, which is the highest I've seen him in other mocks. What do you think the chances are that happens?

Thank You Sy

Thegratefulhead : 4/28/2016 4:55 pm : link

I was one of the ones asking. Of those left in the second round who would be the best fit for the Giants?

My top 10 is damn near identical to yours

giantgiantfan : 4/28/2016 5:16 pm : link

Except I have TB going Hargreaves and NY going Elliot.

BBI has been saying

rasbutant : 4/28/2016 6:35 pm : link

That 10 is to early for Lawson, yet sy56 has him going 12th. 2 whole spot later.

Great job

JPinstripes : 4/28/2016 6:38 pm : link

Sy and thanks for posting here.

Best mock I have seen

Vanzetti : 4/28/2016 6:38 pm : link

My only quibble would be: I think Eli Apple goes higher

I really hope Dallas passes on Ramsey

I'd vote for the
