With some much info going around, I thought I would organize some of the draft rumblings from our insiders and Raanan, who seems to have the best pulse on the team of any of the beats. Not sure if anyone else will find it useful, but it has been fun and informative for me. Also, there is a lot of info over many threads, so please correct me if I am wrong or add anything I missed.
_________________________________________________________________
Let’s start with Raanan. His top ten likely to be the pick from last week
1. Davis (Dave Te says Davis sees himself as a 3-4 LB)
2. Bolles (Dave Te says his OG Asiata made him look better than he really is)
3. Cam
4. Cunningham (Dave Te says he if soft)
5. Harris
6. Howard
7. McCaffrey (hitdog has confirmed we like him)
8. Reddick
9. Taco
10. Watson (hitdog has confirmed we like him)
Raanan will be making his pick for the Giants tonight on ESPN
_________________________________________________________________
Dave Te has provided us with a ton of info. I have tried my best to capture who he thinks the Giants like and what round he thinks they like him in.
1. Lamp, Watt, Bowser, Davis Webb
2. Engram, Asiata, Engram, Shaheen, Jordan Willis, Rivers, Darkins, Kpassaglen, Dalvin Tomlinson
3. Walker, Hodge
4. Foreman, Golladay
5. Jordan or Jerod Evans
6. Grover Stewart
7. Adreaus Knape, Kyle Steiner

BBI insider/asshat extraordinaire hitdog has dropped a few hints at who the Giants like in no particular order
• McCaffrey, Watson, Trubisky, Peppers, Njoku (is not sure they would take him at 23)
_________________________________________________________________
JonC often gets info but has said he has nothing yet. Likes Bowser, McCaffrey, Watt, Lamp, Engram.

ThatLimerickGuy was pretty good last year but has/has shared no info yet.

Slade says Dennis Rodman to NK and Hankins to sign by noon tomorrow (JK)

Sy56 while not an insider has provided BBI with excellent info. He has 40 total players with a Round 1 grade of 80 points or better (19 on offense and 21 on defense).
QB – 1
RB – 4
WR – 6
TE – 3
OT – 1
OG/C – 4
DE – 6
DT – 2
LB – 1
CB – 7
S - 5
Thanks
the position players i am more focused on for picks at this stage. you correctly mention the ones i have dropped in threads.
struggle to see a DB or DL in round 1- lets see....
Thanks Milton, Dave Te has been prolific so I was sure I was going to miss some.
So Dave likes him in the 3rd round.... :)
I'm thinking of updating this on Thursday depending on how much more info comes out between now and then and I will add CamRob to the list.
Glad you guys like the post.
Absolutely not, Milton.

Thanks hitdog!
Thursday can't get here fast enough.
I will get some info from my source on Thurs. am re: Giants and post it but I have already gotten some general info in the last 24 hours that may be helpful.
1. Peppers urine thing- teams not looking at it as a big deal and he will still go top 20 easily.
2. Reuben Foster- the issue with him is much more than a diluted sample. He has an attitude issue that came to a head at the combine and his shoulder injury is making a lot of teams remove him off of their rd. 1 boards.
3. QB's will not go in the order that everyone thinks. Throw these 4 in a hat, Trubitsky, Watson, Mahomes and Webb and each team has them ranked differently. I specifically heard that there was one team that had Watson as a legit rd 1 prospect and another that had him as a day 3 guy. Arm strength is apparently a huge concern among the scouts with him and some doubt he can throw the whole route tree. It's possible that only Trubitsky goes in the 1st and that Webb is the 2nd QB taken.
As I said, I will try to get some more Giants specific info on Thursday and post it.

He said it one of his earliest posts on the subject.
Absolutely not, Milton.
All depends - if Lamp is there & they take Cam? I come to Rutherford and put Jerry Reese over my knee.
I would also take Reddick or Bowser over Cam, if they slide. I would need a coin toss on him & Jarrad Davis, but would grab Cam over Willis
Good find Milton. There is so much info in the Q&A thread it is easy to miss things.

If Cam Robinson is still available when the Giants are on the clock, do they take him?

That doesn't say anything about the Giants liking Cam. That says Dave Te ranks those players roughly:
Lamp
Reddick/Bowser
Davis/Cam
Willis

But here is a follow-up question (and answer) I had for him on the "Questions for Dave TE" thread....

This is significant info. Even if Mahomes isn't the pick, we see where the organization's head is. Considering the expected quality of next year's QB class this is important.
DRC could be used as trade material either to move up in 1 or up in 2 if another guy is there that they want. if Taco drops out of Rd 1 (assuming we drafted Mahomes) I see Gmen jumping back up to get him...
Please do not bash TLG, JonC, hitdog, etc if their rumors do not come to fruition.
Would be on board with Mahomes as well. This is a great year for us to take a QB with no massive needs -- or at least needs that can be filled via the draft.

Trading DRC would make the 2017 Giants defense noticeably worse.
I would be absolutely shocked in McCaffrey reaches the Giants.. I dont think there is anyway he reaches the Giants.
