Does not see Giants going OL.
Says focus should be "full service TE", power RB, 3-tech DT, DL depth and 4th corner.
OL prospects do not belong in first 30 picks of this year's draft.
Doesnt think any of these QBs have 1st round talent.
Does not see team going QB. Says next year much better opportunity for QBs.
Don't buy that. If they have 'equal' grades on a WR and LB, I see them taking the WR 9 times out of 10. Ignoring QB, it's probably more a hierarchy like:
DE/pass rusher
CB
WR
LT
...
"Natrone Means clone"
Believes cemented at 23.
Dottino believes they will be tempted to move up in rounds 2 or 3. Especially for Oklahoma RB.
Mentions Wormley in round 2.
Mentions Sprinkle or Kittle as TEs later on.
I'm sure there will be a higher graded QB (and therefore, a better shot of being an NFL started) available at 32 next year than is available at 23 this year. So, why waste the pick this year?
One that won't likely be any worse than any available at 23 this year anyway?
Teams seem set on reaching big for QBs that most years would be second or third rounders this year; let the Giants not be one of those suckers.
He was my pick in the prediction thread. No idea if he "falls" but if he does I completely see us pulling the trigger.
My thoughts exactly :)
Don't worry we can always move up from 32 if our guy slips next year.
Then we will be fine...the media doean't know shit as #23 impossible to predict.
They barely know things at #10.
I believe that they are looking at edge rushers and that TJ Watt if he is available will be the selection.

Don't want to trade up for Perine. I'd take him. But no trade up.
You NEED a Defensive Tackle (No more Hankins)
You NEED a Right Guard
You NEED a Right Tackle
You NEED a Tight End
Those are our four NEEDS. Anything else is an attempt to upgrade. You don't NEED a third DE or a Fourth Corner or a Fourth WR.

you must have missed the Green Bay playoff game. And DRC is prob gone after this year, so that 4 becomes a 3 in a hurry, especially if someone gets hurt

Considering how much we run 3 CBs which is most of the time yes we do need a 4th CB. DRC is in his last year with us and we will need a top 3rd CB as soon as next year. I don't want one in round 1, but to say we don't need one is wrong. What happened when one of the 3 CBs went down... we weren't nearly as good. What happened with JPP went down... we weren't nearly as good. I think we are in better shape at RG than depth at CB.
The need is not another top of the draft CB. It is for reliable guy(s) that can come off the bench in certain packages and when injuries hit and leave the bulls-eye in the lockerroom.

You don't draft a third DE - you draft a DE.
You don't draft a fourth CB - you draft a CB.
You don't draft a fourth WR - you draft a WR.
You draft talent, preferably using premium picks on premium positions (but that's not etched in stone). You don't draft primarily for need at the expense of talent at other positions.
Quote:
is if grades are razor thin difference/equal you go defense.

You don't agree that the giants lean towards defense in round 1? Over the last 12 drafts the giants have gone defense 7 times. Seems like they lean defense to me. Might be marginal but it's there.

So if a corner is sitting there at 23 with an 85 grade and the need players there have grades of 81 you're still taking the 81?
Broken record.
