1. David Njoku, TE
2. Dalvin Tomlinson, DT
3. Alex Anzalone, LB
4. D'Onta Foreman, RB
5. Brian Allen, CB
6. Darius English, LB/DE
7. Jerry Ugokwe, OT
Give Eli yet another toy in the pass game, Tomlinson should be the next DT to help us forget about losing yet another DT in free agency, love Azalone's athleticism/potential (injury discount), Foreman the hammer to compliment Perkins, Allen's size/tools offer too much long term potential ... 6/7 get 2 guys to groom with rare physical attributes and hope the coaches get through to them.
Mock away. Tomlinson/Foreman/Allen are officially "my guys" in this draft.
Is Tomlinson better than Wormley/Walker?
"Tomlinson is one of the elite run defenders in this draft class. Tomlinson can beat the blockers across from him with quickness, length or strength. Tomlinson has a thick strong lower body which makes him tough to move. He can also keep his opponent at a distance with his arms and locate the ball very well. Tomlinson has the ability to play two-gaps as well as the quickness to be a one-gap penetrator."
my biggest fear is, if njoku is taken before, the giants go for an OT in round 1 - a spot I don't see the talent/value matching up with.
If a QB drops, there are some teams behind the giants that could use 1 ... I would kill for a trade down and possibly accumulate a 3/4th round pick. so many guys I love in that range. gonna be an interesting 1st round.
didn't play football until late in HS, his "weaknesses" are essentially coachable issues.
Give me this guy on day 3 to develop for a year or 2 over most OL going in the 1st 2 rounds.

Don't get me wrong, Tomlinson is one of the guys I hope they'll target. But he's had ACLs on both knees. So, if Ramczyk's hip is a concern, I'd think Tomlinson's knees would be a similar concern.
It's a dangerous game. If they are healthy coming into minicamp 2017, that's all I care about.
I like Walker as well ... just think Tomlinson has the higher upside. Dominant run defender who could develop as a pass rusher and basically be Hankins 2.0, at least.
