Solid developmental pick!

Nice job here by Reese.
Bisnowaty could be a future RT or move inside to Guard

If he was clearly the best OL remaining on our board

I have no problem losing a 7th Round pick to be sure we got him
pretty solid  
mphbullet36 : 4:36 pm : link
as a pitt grad I saw a lot of him. Pitt's offensive line was stout and he was the LT there. He knows how to play football.
Hope

Any word on why he dropped so far?  
I've seen him mocked pretty consistently around the fourth round.

SY's report  
KevinBBWC : 4:37 pm : link
8 Adam Bisnowaty 65/305 Pittsburgh: 74

Summary: Fifth year senior that started all four years after his redshirt. Missed some time early in his career. Manned the left tackle spot and was named 1st Team All ACC in 2015 and 2016. Bisnowaty is an interesting case because he showed flashes of both top and bottom tier over the past two seasons. He passed a few of the eyeball tests weekly when it came to knee bend, aggression, and run blocking. However his up and down execution as a pass blocker gives off the notion he may be best suited inside in a zone blocking scheme at either guard or center. He has a style of play that could excel in that role.

*Early in the 2016 season, scouts were talking about Bisnowaty as being the top guy in this class. Potential top 10 overall type. Its easy to see why because of his easy movement out of his stance and ability to mirror a defender with excellent lower half balance and quickness. He did suffer an injury somewhere around the midpoint of the season that made his tape look weak in the second half, but even at full strength I never quite saw it from him. He didnt move guys. More of an absorber rather than an attacker. Too easily thrown around. Those things bother me as much as a guy with really slow feet. I think he may be best suited for backup swing duty.

Upside Pro Comparison: Justin Britt SEA
This guy could have gone in the 4th  
dpinzow : 4:37 pm : link
Like this pick...another good, solid football player
Colin gbn had him at 142 out of 364 top players he listed  
Big Blue '56 : 4:38 pm : link
and USA Today had him at 143 of their top 150 players
best pick  
Archer : 4:38 pm : link
I wanted Bisnowsaty in the 4th Round.
He was injured this year but was one of the top OL last year.

Can play LT but more likely a RT.

Great pick

Ralph Vacchiano‏Verified account @RVacchianoSNY 21s22 seconds ago

The Giants gave up their seventh-round pick (241) in the trade up for Bisnowaty. So it appears their 2017 draft is done.
Solid pick  
sounds like he could start at both guard and RT.
the 7th round pick means nothing so close to the end  
mphbullet36 : 4:39 pm : link
chance of UDFA have a better chance of making the team. If you liked him enough and didn't think he would make it there. Go get him at this point.

Fifth round pick in the sixth round

myquealer : 4:39 pm : link
to trade up for him
He has versatility which the Giants crave  
Anakim : 4:40 pm : link
I could see him start down the road at LG, RG or RT.


But he was absolutely awful during Senior Bowl week. I mean AWFUL. That's why he wasn't on my list.
Fine  
AcidTest : 4:41 pm : link
with the trade up. Who cares about a seventh round pick? But I would have preferred using it on Knappe. Bisnowaty has reached his limit IMO. No real "upside." I don't think he can remain at LT in the NFL. Don't hate the pick. Just think we could have done better.
So UDFA begins right after the NFL's last draft pick?  
Big Blue '56 : 4:41 pm : link
Can calls be made at anytime?
Yeah!!!!  
5BowlsSoon : 4:42 pm : link
I knew we could find one of these guys to develop. I hope our OL coach is as excited as 3/4 of BBI members are over this pick.
Not a big deal giving up a late 7th.  
manh george : 4:42 pm : link
Most of the guys on their board at that point will be available as UDFAs anyway.

Honest question. WHY would that really matter? Shouldn't all his seasons of game tape tell the story?

isn't he the LOT against whom Avery Moss  
ColHowPepper : 4:44 pm : link
was going one-on-one all game in his clip that was posted? Was it Pitt or WVa? I was thinking when watching the Moss clip (lengthy) that the OT looked pretty good, why not look at him?
Yeah, that's what I thought I remembered.

to replace Flowers?
Considering we have a need  
old man : 4:47 pm : link
an OL, and he grasps the G position(doubt hes a T), hopefully quickly, should be at least adequate.
All I know is that Pittsburghs offense was very good

For sure, but at the Senior Bowl, he was going against some of the best seniors in college football. It does matter. Dominating Joe Schmo is not as telling as dominating Dalvin Tomlinson or Jordan Willis.

It will be interesting to see who the Giants score in the UDFA market. There are still some interesting OL prospects to be had like Wheeler, McDermot, Collins, Levin, Rich, Ugokwe, and one of Dave Te's favorites, Andre "Don't Sleep On" Knappe.
This may be my favorite pick of Day 3  
Dunedin81 : 4:56 pm : link
Probably not a game changer, but a versatile guy who could end up playing an important reserve role as early as this year.
FROM DAVE TE  
nflscouting : 4:57 pm : link
If anybody moves, it's Flowers. Pop Warner, high school, Pittsburgh, nothing but a monster at left tackle. He was a bit banged up later in 2016, but if you pull film, look at the first part of the season & you will see why LOT is his home
Reasonable arm length at 33 7/8 inches...  
Milton : 4:58 pm : link
But the man has gigantic fucking hands: 11 3/8 inches! (that's what she said)....
find a UDFA kicker

I like this one  
RetroJint : 5:00 pm : link
He's at least the ninth o-lineman on the team heading to rookie mini. Could move up quickly, too. Reese finished strong.

So why did the OL from Pitt, last until the 6th Rd.?
When I read some of the comments, maybe he should have been
a 2nd or 3rd RD. pick?
I doubt a 6th Rd. pick is going to move Flowers,
not on JR's watch at least.

Hard to know the reasons..Why was Brady a 6th rounder? Terrell Davis a 5th rounder?

WillVAB : 5:13 pm : link
The guy was all-ACC so let's not act like his tape doesn't matter. Physically he has all the tools.

He'll compete for a starting job somewhere along the OL and I'd bet he's starting at some point in '17.

Give Flowers a shot, then move him over if he isn't improving.
I think he's too light to play RT. But, he's agile enough to play LT  
GeofromNJ : 5:41 pm : link
in this league. My prediction -- the Giants make a concerted effort to coach him up to play LT and they move Flowers to RT where he is far better suited.
Anyone know this

1. What injury did he have in second half of 2016?

2. Why did he stink it up during the Senior Bowl?

Dunedin81 : 6:00 pm : link
It's unlikely that they are going to plug a sixth rounder in as an LT, even if he's very impressive in workouts.
I think they said he had an ankle or a back injury this year  
Chris L. : 6:11 pm : link
everyone seems to agree he looked much better when he was fully healthy last year. Going into this year he was very highly thought of. I watch a lot of ACC ball because my son goes to Miami and I saw him in some games. He definitely looks the part of a left tackle. He has played like 40 games at left tackle. We may have gotten a bit of a steal here because he was not 100% during all of the post season evaluations.
Help needed

idiotsavant : 8:07 pm : link
become an interesting puzzle.

Hart - legit college level OT, some flaws, potential right tackle type?

Fluker - legit college level OT, some flaws, potential right tackle type?

Flowers - legit college level OT, some flaws, potential right tackle type?

Bisnowati - legit college level OT, some flaws, potential right tackle type? Possible left tackle? Who knows?

Pugh - Nifty OL generalist, quick, technically good BUT possibly too light in anchoring for OG here?

Richburg - Nifty Center - decent technician BUT too light in anchor for our style of play right now?


it would be frigging hilarious if Biz turned out to be a keeper OLT after all that . I guess even a blind bird gets a worm sometimes.

Oh yeah,  
oldog : 8:36 pm : link
this is it. We gave up 7th round, and are now all in. Adam Bisnowaty. Raw data 6'6", 307 lbs, Pittsburgh Panthers. Position, OT, BBI, your dreams have come true. Not round 1, but Lindy's Sports see him as the # 7 OT. See him as being picked at #71. Athlon disagrees, see him as an inch shorter at 6'5", and 300 lbs. They think he is the #5 OT. They believe he will go on 2/3rd round. Athlon sees him as a "mauler in the run". So after TE, DT, QB etc., you OL freaks, finally have your guy. Bless. Seems like Reese is not totally asleep, as some contend.
Theres  
RAIN : 9:23 pm : link
A reason he lasted till the 6th. We will find out. I'm actually excited for Hart this year. I think he could surprise some people and win a spot. Hopefully for Bisnowaty, his ankle made him into a vale pick for us. He's not a natural bender and that's why his projection to guard is a tough one.. that's coming from Lance Zuerlein.
Big difference in opinion from BBI's draft guys  
The_Boss : 10:42 pm : link
Sy thinks he's a backup swing OT and Dave Te says potential LT (down the road). Personally, I think I'll temper my enthusiasm regarding this guy.
Solid pick

Of course there is! On top of that, this organization has
done nothing but fail with later round picks at OL.
Diehl was the only one, and that was under the previous regime, not the JR regime.
Look it up folks if you like.
