Prediction Time: Who Will Be Our First Round Pick

It looks like we like him at one of the tackle positions.

I think he's the QB that we're locked into.

We will see.

Though I want Howard.

But if Cook is there at #23 they have to pick him because he will be a stud RB and that will help Eli even more than a TE (Eli doesn't have to do it all on offense)

You can never have enough pass rushers

because no one else has mentioned him so far

If available I think he is the pick...not who I want

So the pick will be Bolles.

player and you out think yourself. But when the moment comes, the Giants usually go back to an area of need in the first round because you expect that player to start right away. I just don't see them trading up and Jerry holds on to his picks. And the offensive line is the most glaring need area, considering there is good TE depth. I say they go for Lamp.

As usual spot on, Matt. This is why I feel it will be the TE. Ellison was such a desperate need but really fills the lunch pail hback TE role. There's still a need for play making TE here and I think the giants will have a higher grade on the athletic move guy over the OT or guard. Time will tell but I could see your prediction coming true as well. I want an edge rusher but think they go offense in round 1.

is Nat Berhe. No thanks.

for McCaffrey.

Robinson or Bolles if Robinson is gone

lamp if robinson is gone....jarrad davis or trade back if theyre both gone.

please no cunningham or njouku

RB FSU

Is the pick

I don't care what Raanan says,

.

They usually pick in the 1st.

.

Am I allowed t use question marks, Anak?

and I really dig the pick. But I am not as informed as others and watch little to no college football

so my Top 5 (and I believe NY will draft one) in no particular order is as follows:

Forrest Lamp, T/G
Dion Dawkins, T/G
Takkarist McKinley, LB
Tarell Basham, DE
Corey Davis, WR

All bets are off if McCaffrey and Reddick are still on the board and I also think there's an outside chance we take Dalvin Cook/Taco Charlton.

Did I cover everything ;)

after OJ (does he fall past Balt at 16?) and Jarrad (looking like #21 to Detroit) are already gone. - Thrill Ride

I really like Jackson but would we take him round one? Any chance he drops to the second?

Sure seems unlikely.

Mayock sent Adoree' to Tennessee at #18 in his mock tonight.

Bob McGinn has him going #22 to Miami.

Both those guys are pretty well informed. There has also been some reports about the Cowboys at 28 being a destination for Jackson. From the media side, this is a late riser but the scouting attitude has been pretty simple: if fully focused on football and not co-opted to track, this player will grow into a super-athletic bad-ass inside/outside corner with Hester-level return ability.

Thrill says Jarrad, Adoree, or Bolles (in that order), depending on who's available obviously.

Will go guard later in draft

Size/speed freak who blew up the Combine.

But really? No clue.

May even trade up for him

.

We spend soooooo many resources at OL. We should have a very strong line by now... but we don't, and we'll throw even more resources at it at the expense of other areas.

We should be looking at Njoku assuming Howard, Reddick & McCaffrey are long gone. But it will be a meh OL.

.

Bolles

Bowser is my guess

I can get on board with Engram and a trade up for Budda Baker.

3 high picks with two of them being late first or 2nd round and not one high priced vet. I wouldn't call that crazy spending along the OL.

The worst part of the offense last year was the TE. Flowers struggled but if you watch the last 4-5 games he played well with the exception being home against Dallas.

Flowers could see improvement. The TEs will improve. The RBs are better assuming they add a vet or rookie.

Take the BPA.

He's young, should improve the run game, and provides a little more position versatility in case he doesn't work out as the new LT. He could replace Justin Pugh at LG next year or become the RT/RG.

picked Cam Robinson too.

or Jarrad Davis

but if we want a really good one we will have to trade up IMO...

could be a surprise pick

We're trading out of the first.

is my guess

The rich secondary gets richer.

Fabian Moreau CB. Next round DT Ogunjobi. 3#rd rounde the QB bust from ther U Kaaya

or Bolles

.

Most tho assumed Njoku was rated higher

Go Terps, DesignMudd, Seventh Spiel, and TheMick7. Well done.

I expected Charlton, but I'm happy with the pick. Actually, my "best case" was Mike Williams, and the Giants arguably got a better, faster big target for Eli, with the bonus that he can block a bit.

Congrats to the four who nailed it. The Gmen should offer you guys a job next year.
