and for 1 reason. Outside of Goodson, we have no LBs under contract next year. Picking one high can give you a cost control player. I didn't even think about it until I heard Dave TE and Sy discuss it last night.
...and finally give some balance of talent to our defense.
Couldn't agree more. Bowser is really enticing because of his ability to rush the passer. Almost fills two needs for us with one player. Both would add much needed LB speed.
Mayock doesn't project a single DT in the first round...and very few Offensive Linemen. That might mean that any team might find that their own #1, #2 at those positions is available late in round 1.
I expect a Defensive Tackle or a Receiver--- based on Mocks showing that those positions will have been Under Drafted at 23.
but why would Bolles be a reach but Bowser wouldn't be? Bowser is ranked anywhere from 25 to 50. Bolles is in the consensus top 30 among most scouts/draft people.
based on Mocks showing those positions Under Drafted up to the 23rd pick.
The Giants will find they're Favorite SOMETHING at that pick---not an edge rusher, and probably not an RB or a TE
I'm not predicting, but an outside chance that they see a Franchise QB at 23 and Draft him.... they may feel they get the "same guy" at 2nd round as at 23, so they could QB @ 23, if that's the case.
We have greater needs at OL, TE, DL, RB, and both DB and WR are always greater priorities for the Giants compared to LB. But, hey, anything can happen.
And draft a Linebacker in the 1st round, I get the sense that if they do it will be Zach Cunningham, not Jarrad Davis or Tyus Bowser. Just a gut feeling.
at LB the fans do, i get the sense he places the DL,OL and DB position far higher and thinks if you can bottle up the offence on the front and back ends of defence.you dont need the same caliber of LB to play mop up duty and protecting the QB or adding a WR also rank ahead of his priorities at the position also

Unfortunately true.
Well, I think it depends on what kind of LB you're talking about. I think he's been looking for a LB that can also rush the passer for a long time.
Troll!

Could be as much as 320 LB. Just a feeling.

Aren't trolls typically more than 320 lbs?

Agreed I think the pick is going to be Davis or Bowser. I am very concerned that Davis will be picked right before the Giants maybe by the Colts.
Oh, I forgot. They don't.

...maybe even trading up in Round One to get one Jerry Reese really covets!
Unfortunately true.
