adamg : 3/22/2017 5:56 pm
per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN
James Conner RB  
adamg : 3/22/2017 5:57 pm : link
OL Adam Bisnowaty
QB Nathan Peterman

Are big names they might be looking at.

Any else?
Peterman  
AcidTest : 3/22/2017 6:03 pm : link
is a guy who has risen like Webb. Might be taken in the second round. Have read that some think he is similar to Cousins. Played in a pro style offense.
I think that's about it  
jeff57 : 3/22/2017 6:06 pm : link
Wouldn't mind Connor in round 4.
Connor!!!  
BigBlueDownTheShore : 3/22/2017 6:14 pm : link
He is a beast!
Dorian Johnson

Oh yeah. Right.
Hopefully he's taking a good look at Dorian Johnson

Low key best OL in draft
James Conner  
RAIN : 3/22/2017 6:35 pm : link
He's our type of back and would complement Perkins.

Ejuan Price

as well
I like Conner and Bisnowaty  
area junc : 3/22/2017 7:09 pm : link
Bisnowaty is a big, punishing dude. i like that style. former wrestler, likes to mix it up. enormous hands. his pass blocking is unrefined coming from Pitt but it doesn't mean he can't learn it
i think he could possibly start at RT for us as a rookie and at worst looks like a backup LT/LG/RG/RT.
Based On His Demeanor On 'Finding Giants'

IMHO, Marc Ross is one of the least likeable people in the Giants organization.
Is it me or is the brass showing up at more pro days this year?  
DavidinBMNY : 3/22/2017 8:07 pm : link
Usually the big guys show up at a couple of pro-days. This is at least the 3rd they've been to as Reese was at least 2 of them himself.
Reese and Ross

Beyond last years draft, hve a lot of explaining to do for the past 5 years of drafting.
It's easy to over pay for top talent, much harder to draft top talent.
Wouldn't be surprised if this is the year we draft Eli's heir apparent  
Dang Man : 3/22/2017 8:42 pm : link
Between this visit and UNC's maybe the org sees the best value in round 1 in selecting a QB to groom behind Eli for a few years. OT could be a reach, the TEs they covet may not be available, DEs (after the first few) could be a reach at 23 etc. At thetwo positions that are considered among the deepest, WR and CB, the Giants are already well positioned with a trio of solid starters at each.

Im not saying this is my preference, but it wouldn't shock me.
Dorian Johnson was a big time prospect coming out of high  
barens : 3/22/2017 8:45 pm : link
school, and he does have measurables to play anywhere along the offensive line. But really, any of those four aforementioned players could and should be on their radar, especially with how good that offense looked.

Thanks for your input.
Was Peterman recruited

By Chryst? He knows QBs
stopped following the draft closely  
annexOPR : 3/22/2017 8:50 pm : link
but Connor is on my wish list [I'm so glad Lacy didn't become a reality]

Connor/Perkins 2017!

I know, I know ... and I'm sorry.
Dorian Johnson is my #2 OG behind only Lamp  
Torrag : 3/22/2017 10:30 pm : link
...and it's close imo.
that  
blue42 : 3/22/2017 11:46 pm : link
qb is really good....and worth a mid round pick.
Taking from NFL.coms draft profiles of Nathan Peterman  
Peppers : 3/23/2017 12:33 am : link
Sources Tell Us "I like him. He made me a believer when I watched him against Clemson. I do want to see him throw live and get a feel for how the ball comes out. I never saw him in person and you can't get a feel for that stuff on tape." - NFC Director of Personnel

Peterman transferred from Tennessee, where he struggled a bit early in his college career.

Very fine young man who has overcome adversity,
but as running back in the NFL, I really don't want to spend a draft pick on James Conner.

He shows a lot of nice things on the field, including a certain one-step elusiveness and the ability to break tackles and move the pile on contact.

But me no like his overall running style. James Conner may have decent speed -- especially for a guy pushing into the size range of Brandon Jacobs -- but that speed does not occur quickly!!! He's a build up sorta speed guy.

But more to the point, he stands WAY too straight up when he takes a hand-off and he gets to the line of scrimmage in lumbering fashion.

Would be a nice Free Agent pick-up.

I saw that show, don't recall anything about his demeanor specifically that would make him unlikeable. Seemed like a dork, and was trying to project some confidence (which you'd expect if you're trying to pitch an idea to your superiors).
Conner 3-cone time 7.41  
stillpoe : 3/23/2017 3:59 pm : link
Ouch. Pretty much confirms what I see when I watch him run and why I'm not as big on him as others. I know that's not his game, and workout numbers aren't everything, but that's a pretty bad number for a running back.
Giants draft picks have usually done well in the 3-cone  
Torrag : 3/23/2017 4:35 pm : link
It's a fair barometer of players they could have interest in. That time is eye popppingly bad so...
Dorian Johnson is very high on my wish list.  
Klaatu : 3/23/2017 5:32 pm : link
I pray that he lasts until #55, but that might be too much to hope for.
