Eli Apple Giants Mocked..

Bluesbreaker : 4/28/2016 11:14 pm
10 NY Giants
Eli Apple
Ohio St
CB
Reach/Value: -12 Height:
6'1"
Weight:
199 Alternate Pick #1
Shaq Lawson
Alternate Pick #2
Laquon Treadwell
Eli Apple goes to the "Big Apple." How appropriate. Known for his hard work ethic and strong red zone coverage, Apple has the speed, agility and height. He uses his arms effectively in press coverage and jabs receivers to interrupt timing of routes. Apples shines in big games, winning Defensive MVP of the 2016 Fiesta Bowl; and, in 2015, he sealed the Buckeyes' win over Oregon in the championship game, intercepting Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota's final collegiate pass. We did not expect him to go this high, but he could prove to be a strong lockdown corner for the Giants. Grade B.

with this pick.The price for a top CB is around 17m and like I mentioned before this part of the draft strategy I mentioned. LB get paid maybe 8mill so why draft one early. Its about savings on the cap as well. OT,DE,CB are the most important positions when you draft. Except for QBs and we have a QB. The Giants already have a lot infested in the Dline but I think we draft one in the next two rounds.

that very few Pundits had us taking
Eli Apple ..
after Floyd went I wanted Hargreaves but
someone mentioned that Jenkins could be
moved into the slot so they felt better taking
the Bigger CB while my thinking was Hargreaves for the slot .

Exactly. You can't just consider the player, you have to consider replacement value.

I don't think "infested" means what you think it means ... or maybe that is your view of our Dline. :-)
