Prediction Time: Who Will Be Our First Round Pick

...

.

T.J. Watts

is my pick.. I also think it is from a trade down.

Reese is not trading down.

.

The more drafts I watch, the more I'm convinced that there is far more to successful drafting than just a first round pick.

That's a lot of Rammy love for a guy who hasn't been talked about a lot for Big Blue.

Cunningham

Cuz I don't want him.

.

Davis

is my guess. Gotta grab Pugh's replacement.

Mahomes

.

.

.

Major upgrade to OL

Lamp

Lamp

I am sure I will be wrong. I nailed the Shepard pick in round 2 though.

.

Highest rated DE if he is not.

.

Jordan Willis

.

For da win

.

Bolles

.

Too late, Jim. No double-dipping.

That oughta get the usual BBI response. :)

I dont know why..I just feel like he could be the guy..

.

not who I'd want though

think is's Lamp.

Taco...

But there's some part of me that just has a feeling they are going to take McCaffrey (if he's there).

(Despite what Raanan hears)

so many on BBI will refer to him with a space between the d's

Raanan's pick. Also Vacch's latest mock. In 2015 Raanan had Flowers and Vacch said it would be Flowers if Scherff was gone.

And Mayock says Giants may trade up for OL in first round.

I re-read the Rock article about Flowers' replacement not being in this draft. It's mostly his opinion on the draft class, which could be correct, but isn't based on inside sourcing.

OJ howard (trade up if 17+ range)

Tyus Bowser

1. Taco Charleton 2. Njoku or 3. Forrest Lamp

This is based on the info "leaks" plugged theory. Charleton fits what we do unless his interviews are crappy.

I also like. Bowser and Watt and would be happy with any of these five. Cunningham would have the remote traveling on the air at high velocity.

Is who I think they will pick (if he falls that far)

if he isn't there then Charlton.

...in a trade up.

Davis

.

The New York Giants select TJ Watt

Just a hunch. I have felt that way for a while.

and I suspect we'll trade our third to move up and snatch him while he's still available

playmaker, compliment to ellison, and a total suprise like every other year.

Not that I'm crazy about the pick.

OL needs help!

You've been relentless pushing these OLs for the past two months. Incorrigibly so. Annoying so. And yet, here we are a day before draft day, and I think you might have the right idea.

Cam Robinson.

However I think the Giants go Jarrad Davis

...

The second best speed rushing defensive end in this draft. Don't think Reese is ready to bite the bullet on Flowers as a left tackle.

Watt!

if we can ony say one. Is Ranaan a guru now, cuz he was right
last year? Every squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile,
it doesn't mean he follows college players closely.
I would add people like Schwartz and 'Kid' Rock as well.
They have their sources, sift thru the info., write articles
about college players and the draft.
Heck, I didn't pick Flowers two years ago, but he was one
of two tackles I thought they might pick at #9.
That doesn't make more or less clairvoyant.
I can honestly say this season, have spent very little time
looking at mock drafts, prolly the least I have done in
about a decade. I have enjoyed the start of baseball season.

.

I thought it was going to be Njoku last month and I still feel that way.

Giants blow so much smoke this draft season it finally works and he is there at 23.

This solves our 2 deep zone problem and makes both OBJ/Marshall very dangerous. Eli is seen smiling.

Most say TE will go early. I'll believe it when I see it.

.

.

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.

or Taco. But probably Wormley, which would of course lead people to complain about a reach by Reese.

Ideally Wormley would be a second round pick but not sure he would last that long.

Njoku

-20 yr old (Fits Reese Mold)
-Dynamic athletic freak (Fits Reese Mold)
-High character guy (Fits Reese Mold)
-Produces points (Fits Reese Mold)
-Think Jordan's reporting could be to throw off buzz
-Fills a need, High upside

.

Bowser.

.

.

pays us back for last year and steals our guy.

It's Mahomes

Typical NYG premium pick.

Big time school, big time conference.

are McCaffery, Robinson, King, or Engram.

But my projected pick for the NY Giants at 23 is Malik McDowell.

(ducks from remotes being thrown)


Basically - I have no idea.

What bothers me about the draft is that BBIers have such short memories, always saying that the Giants pick is known in advance, etc.

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

- Thrill Ride

Earl Thomas with a little Bob Sanders and HoneyBadger in his game. Just too good to pass up.

It would give us the best secondary in the NFL. 5 deep with studs.

Teams these days must draft for need, but not without an eye turned for quality.

We signed a TE, WR, and OL in free agency, and that tells me those positions are off the board for Round One. Sooooooo I'm going with ...

Jarrad Davis, LB, Florida

LB The Hou

Need a attack olb badly. Our lb, are not good blitzers. I think this kid, is going to be good against the run and will be able to be a good blitzers, pass rusher. Health a concern though.

although not sure he's BPA.

Book it.

Willis, even though I prefer that it isn't.

Not a great year for OL and we likely can get a good TE in later rounds. QB is out of the question and we just don't draft LBs with the 1st pick. So I'm thinking it'll be DE or RB at #23. I predict: Dalvin Cook. NYG can't just take choirboys every year, and there's too much talent to pass on him.

My fingers crossed pick is who ever is still there of Davis/Cunningham.

trade up.

Bowser... only because Reese has seemingly had a habit of drafting a guy NOONE expected and Bowser's name is a name I've rarely seen mentioned except for her on BBI.

By the way, thanks for the shout out NBGblue!

But that may just be wishful thinking on my part.

This is strictly based on our drafting history and whats been passed down by the beat guys/insiders. Think it will be OL and we tend to go with big program players, especially the SEC. Cam also fits our profile in what we look for (tools rich, long, clean, pedigree).

I'd prefer Njoku or a stud LB (Foster or Davis), but I think this is the 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.

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 ;)

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.
