This may be the year we finally go LB in the 1st round

is worth the 23rd pick?

but he's a reach at 23

He may not even be available at 23.

2nd round target for us.

but at the point in the draft - he'll be the 23rd best player?

I think he winds up at 4-3 DE in the NFL, but the surgeries is bothersome.

Giants should still have the bitter taste of Odi in their mouth.

.

While the surgeries have hurt his stock, I think his health and knees check out. And I think his athleticism and the fact he has the frame to add 15 pounds really has the Giants interested.

would be awesome. Great motor, great athlete. Brings extra fire to the defense. Him coming off the edge would be great

:

people thought the Texans reached for Watt at 10 when they drafted JJ.

I really think we see him as a potential DE who can do it all. Rush the passer, stop the run and drop back in coverage.

add the weight or keep him where he is and use him as a olb?

Forest lamp, OG???
Zack Cummingham, ILB. Here to hoping???
Trey Hendrickson, DE. Prefer Demarcus Walker.
Kareem Hunt, RB. Reach... Best RB then.
Eddie Venderdose, DT.
Zack Banner, OT.
Gunner Kiel, QB.

Sure, I could live with the idea of drafting Cummingham in the first round and then draft Taylor Morton in the second round.

That's the question. I think it depends on the system. In a 3-4, LB. In our system, I could see him being a very good DE.

you want him closer to the QB and he's got the frame to play at 260+

if he is sitting there in Rd 2...maybe.

Nothing special there...

those are our most glaring needs. Thats why I think its more likely that we pick OL or DT then maybe TE or LB in the 1st. I am in the crowd that would LOVE for the Giants to pick a LBer but as I belive it was Harry Calahan once said, "A man has got to know his limitations" and our limitations is we generally suck at evaluating LBers in the draft.....

Just like Floyd was. He has no position on the Giants just like Floyd didn't. And the only position he might play is occupied by our best LB.

want him. Multiple knee surgeries. Cunningham would be a better pick, just because he's healthy. Watt is not a "clean" player. For that reason, I have a hard time believing he'd be the pick.

Watt was dominant last year. He was the best defensive player in the big 10.

He has a swagger and shows up for big plays.

He reminds me of Washington's Ryan Kerrigan.

He is a 4-3 end not a 3-4 linebacker. He has played from a (3) point stance. Some will think that he is a LB due to his speed and the way he runs sideline to sideline.

Watt is also a lot larger than he looks. He will carry 265 lbs. @ 6'-4"
Watt like his brother is a late bloomer he is still growing

!

he's not athletic enough to play OLB in space, unless it's in the Ware-type role.

This is why we should target Bowser over both Watt and Cunningham, think he will be the better PRO.
