A ton of DL talent still available and a few WRS

Coach Mason : 4/29/2016 7:09 am
This looks like where the best value is right now. A number of DL that fit the Giant prototype for the position.Size/strength/speed types followed by a few WRS. Giants value route running very highly and there are a few that could be great options here. You could maybe argue Safety but I think that may be best value in Round 3-4:

DL
Bronson Kaufusi - If we dont go edge rusher round 1. This years Preston Smith (DE size/arm length/strength/triangle # combination Giants love from their DE's- 11 sacks/20 TFLS in 13 games last year)

*Jonathan Bullard- not as amazing measurables as Kaufusi but pretty darn good across the baord as well. Amazing/explosive first step. Not a ton of sacks but coming to his own and quite possibly a double digit sack guy in the pros.

*Ogbah (4.6-4.7 speed at his size?) Fits Giants prototype for size/speed specimen at DE

*Carl Nassib- Excellent measurables and also coming to his own. Giant prototype DE/DT on passing downs hybrid player

Kevin Dodd- 6.5 ,277. 3 sacks,5 TFL in biggest stage. Another guy coming into his own and has the frame Giants prefer on DL.

WR/TE

Hunter Henry TE(complete 2 way TE which has been traditionally what the Giants prefer )

*Shepard  (tremendous route runner, a better NYG Steve Smith)
-Mike Thomas- possibly best size/speed complement to OBJ with polish/route running skill
-Boyd


Dark horses
OT
Jason Spriggs- former TE,athletic LT versatility
Cody Whitehair
S
Vonn Bell/Sean Davis/Justin Simmons- hoping 1 of these 3 make round 3
Dodd still available?

I forgot about him. Many had him going in the high teens.
Spence was taken  
grizz299 : 4/29/2016 7:12 am : link
was he?
Spence and Calhoun

Are still on the board but a bit light in the pants for what the Giants usually go for at DE
I want a WR  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 4/29/2016 7:40 am : link
and Justin Simmons. In either order.
Surprised Robinson and Reed weren't taken

Bullard is a Reese type player. I'd go Henry, but I realize that will never happen, so Shephard would be my pick.
Shepard would be an amzing pick  
Coach Mason : 4/29/2016 8:24 am : link
But I think they want more pass rush especially after missing out on Floyd. The other side witj the number of options still available, they could gamble that a couple pass rushers make round 3.
Yeah  
SomeFan : 4/29/2016 8:33 am : link
I am hoping we get one of those WRs
Dodd  
bc4life : 4/29/2016 8:37 am : link
Calhoun, I like Billings as well.
Dodd  
Mark from Jersey : 4/29/2016 9:13 am : link
Gets my vote.
If we go DE we are almost gauranteed  
Coach Mason : 4/29/2016 12:14 pm : link
a Giant size/speed prototype unless there is an incredible run on them the next 8 picks.

Torn between that an WR. Think we can wait on Safety until round 3.

What sticks out to you about Bullard as a Reese pick?
BPA.

The Giants can use a great player at pretty much every position outside of a small few. Don't lock in any one position of need before seeing who's there at #40.

Versatility, I'd think. He can give you up-the-middle push or play on the edge. Good size, rare first step.
Yes Bullard is versatile  
Coach Mason : 4/29/2016 6:55 pm : link
but Ogbah has sky high potential. Like Nassibs and Kaufusi's upside a little more as well
