This is one of the weakest OT classes in recent years but it doesn't mean we can't find a quality tackle. Ryan Ramczyk won't participate due to recent surgery. Garrett Boles may break agility records for the position but will have to answer a lot of questions about his past. With that said I still think Alabama's Cam Robinson is the best tackle in this class. The hate has gone too far and the talk of him needing to move inside is overblown imo.
The next tier has a lot of intriguing talent. Antonio Garcia has the athleticism and length you want from a LT. He added nine pounds between the Senior Bowl and Combine but still needs more. He's expected to time well in the 40. Dion Dawkins and Taylor Moton are two of my favorite lineman in the class for their hard nose, blue collar play. I could see them at RT or RG. Justin Senior is a bit underrated and worth watching. No lineman probably has more intrigue though than Bucknell's Julie'n Davenport. Small school All American and two time captain but at 6'7" with 36 1/2" arms and nearly 11" hands, I'm sure teams can't wait to see how he tests. He had an uneven Senior Bowl but has a high ceiling. Among the top interior lineman are Forrest Lamp, Dan Feeney and Ethan Pocic. All three could go in the top two rounds with Lamp and Feeney possibly going in the first.
While OL may not be seen as deep, RB is as deep as it's been in a while. Dalvin Cook, Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey are first round talents that will attract alot of airplay. Along with Cook, the diminutive Tarik Cohen, a former track star could challenge Chris Johnson's 40 record, but he's not the only legit challenger. Kareem Hunt has been rising. Matthew Dayes is a sleeper I like. But honestly I could go on and on. RB is very deep this year. You can easily get a starter on Day 3 from this class.
Coverage starts at 8 but first 40 is at 9.
Have yet to follow who is who at "X" position.
We should draft a RB from this class. When is the question. For me the value is in Rounds 3/4. Marlon Mack and Dont'e Foreman are two guys I think the Giants will be interested in.

Keep up the good work.

I'll pick up 40's again once the next group starts
I read that's the reason he didn't but wasn't specific. Same for Robinson
Got it, thanks
@Gil_Brandt
I'd take Pat Elflein in second round and have a very nice player for 10 years.
Come on, Dude. sjnyfan's combine threads are a tradition around here. Not only are they informative, but they stimulate discussion.
He's my first choice.

2 runs in the 4.95 range at the combine. A little light, but interesting strength and speed. Certainly worth a look on Day 3 or as an UDFA
I'm very intrigued by DII prospect Ethan Cooper. His lower half is all muscle and he uses it well. Very good in drills including the kick slide. 6'3" nearly 330 lbs and they just put up on NFLN a pic of him dunking. That's a crazy amount of power.
Yea disappointing he didn't bench. I think Bisniwatty would be a nice 2/3rd pick too
For me, it's the two big Johnsons and Nico Siragusa.
Same here, just wish Ramczyck was healthy enough.

Agreed. With a hopefully improved Flowers, we'd have some big dudes out there.
Bolles would be a major departure for the Giants in at least one regard. Bolles will turn 25 in May. The Giants have mostly avoided over-age prospects for quite a while - since Aaron Ross, I think. Consider the #1 picks since then, and their ages on Draft Day:
Kenny Phillips 21Y 4M
Hakeem Nicks 21Y 3M
Jason Pierre-Paul 21Y 3M
Prince Amukamara 21Y 10M
David Wilson 20Y 10M
Justin Pugh 22Y 8M
Odell Beckham 21Y 6M
Ereck Flowers 21Y 0M
Eli Apple 20Y 9M
32 1/8" arms
10" hands
Smaller than I thought
Other DL:
Jonathan Allen: 6-2 5/8, 286
Taco Charlton: 6-5 5/8, 277
Big Lamp fan. Would rather have him.
He should claim a tweaked muscle and call it a day after that jump.

Can you let us know who you are talking about?
Even at 240 thats an awful jump.
Eagles win the coin toss and will pick 14th in this year's NFL draft. Colts will pick 15th.

Might be facing this guy twice a year. He's projected to go right around the time our rivals 90 miles to our south are on the clock. And they do need RB help.

I could be wrong but the RB numbers over the last few years have been horrible. These times seem pretty good this year.
Watched a few of his games. Love the way he runs

Lamp seems to be having himself a nice little combine showing. Hmmm...

Can he play any DE?
I Hope he is the pick. Screams a Reese pick.
He does decent as a blocker. He's not great yet, but he was a WR just two years ago. So he still has work to do there. He has the frame to put on another 10-15 pounds. Plus insanely long arms which will help keep defenders off of him. Our very own Sy'56 said he's shown traits of being a dominant blocker. His upside is threw the roof. I think he can be a Jimmy Graham type receiver, but also an above average to good blocker.
I think he is worth our 1st rounder. We all know Reese doesn't value the position but would make an exception with a twitchy athlete like Njoku.
Dawkins has excellent upper body strength,and exceptional lower body strength.Dion is 6-4 and has very long arms.He could be a guard or tackle.
Dawkins is not getting a lot of publicity, but he had a superb combine.I would not be surprised if he is a low first round pick.

Reese not valuing TEs is just not true. If TE is the best player on the board Reese will take them. Hitdog42 was spot on everything last offseason as was Jordan Raanan. They both said Hunter Henry was going to be our pick at 40 over Sterling Shepard. Unfortunately Henry was taken a few picks before our spot.

Dawkins definitely had a great combine. Mayock loves him as being a great value. He still thinks he will be a mid-round pick, but whoever picks him will get a great player. Will he last till the third? Probably not - especially after the combine. But if he is there in the third, you run to the podium. He won't be there at the end of the fourth.
