However, if there were no shufflings in and out of say the top 30, and we did not target a specific player that we were willing to move up a few places to select, this is at least a logical pick.
From some guys it s fun, that s all. I m not familiar enough with college football to have an opinion. But I am interested in what those who study the game think. Doesn't matter what month it is. This is what they think now, that s all. It might change next week. That s ok too, still fun.
I know you're pissed that I disagreed with your Melo bullshit on the NBA thread, but I didn't come on that thread to post that the thread was a waste of time. If you think talking about a potential draft pick that would be of interest to the Giants is a waste of time, then fine. But fuck off in the meantime.
The value of a mock draft (if there is any) isn't in who they have the Giants selecting but how they see the prospects coming off the board in general.
Mocks are not important until you have gone through free agency and figure out your team needs and other teams needs. The Giants have huge holes on the OL and at TE and will have other needs if you lose JPP and Hankins. As far as the draft goes you start making your list of the best players at each positon and who are the best players on tape and then you have the annual meat market combine which gets way overblown. All it takes is one player or team screw up all mocks (Laremy Tunsil or a David Heyward Bay pick. I think it is more important to find out who are the top 20-30 at each position.
but he has a shoulder injury that might require surgery and is also on 6'2". I think that is a bit short for the Giants mold of an edge rusher. I think Taco Charlton fits much more into their type. McKinley has Steelers written all over him.
and while NYG absolutely prefers more height/length measureables, I think he'll be in the mix if available. Pure pass rush abilities and run base, the later of which so few ERs tend to have.

Takkarist has all the talent to become an impact player very much in the mold of Khalil Mack. He is not as powerful in his lower body but he does have the same style of play and is a little quicker than Mack to make up for less lower body strength. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a strong kid but his lower body type, not the same as Mack’s natural lower body strength. That being said they both have the same style of play and like Khalil; Takkarist should be an impact player. If I’m wrong about Takkarist shoulder issues than his ability to get off blocks is an issue that he will have to improve and could hold his “length till impact” back for the team that selects him but either way Takkarist should become an impact player.
Terrell Basham is the guy I'm going to school on Â
He'll be a fast riser and finish solidly in the first round. Small school isn't an issue for Reese...see JPP. He's got the body, the production, stood out at the Senior Bowl and will do very well at the Combine imo. He's a darkhorse right now but come April I think we'll be lucky and happy to get him.
Would say that if the Giants do resign Pierre-Paul, then McKinley is a definite possibility along with Tim Williams if the Giants are okay with his personal issues.
If they don't resign Pierre-Paul, I think it's more likely the pick will be Charlton or McDowell.
unless a large stud WR drops. I'd also get a big RB in Rd2 or 3, like a Freeman from UT, to team with Perkins. I am not big on getting an edge rusher at #1.
Yet, knowing this, you still opened the thread. Why?
You got anything better to talk about it?
This time of the year is mainly a big ***yawn*** anyway with regards to football...at least until free agency.
If you have something interesting to discuss, then please...open a thread and start the discussion.
Agreed. Think the Giants would prefer Charlton.
However, I have limited confidence in their ability to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to these tweener DE/LBs and the OL.
He is the same size as Vernon minus 10 pounds.

more Reese's style of DE.
He is the same size as Vernon minus 10 pounds.
That doesn't make him the same quality player. I don't think he holds up as well against the run, nor can bull rush as effectively.
Go watch Taco vs Wisconsin and say that's the guy you want at 23.
If they don't resign Pierre-Paul, I think it's more likely the pick will be Charlton or McDowell.
