...looks like the strength of the Draft is:
QB (7 Players; Average Rank 31 out of 100)
RB (11 Players; Average Rank 51 out of 100)
WR (16 Players; Average Rank 55 out of 100)
DT (9 Players; Average Rank 51 out of 100)
And the weakest positions:
OG (4 Players; Average Rank 59 out of 100)
LB (8 Players; Average Rank 54 out of 100)
S (6 Players; Average Rank 42 out of 100)
A few observations:
(1) LB is considered a "weakness" given that they represent only 8% of Top 100, whereas typically they represent 14% - 18% of the starters (depending on whether the scheme is a 3-4 or a 4-3).
(2) Safety is bifurcated with three players in the Top 11 and then 3 players ranked below 50.
(3) If you want a blue chip Guard, there's only one -- Quenton Nelson (at #8). After that, the next best Guard is ranked at 68.
GBN Top 100 - (
New Window )
Price at #34 would be perfect for the Giants
No WR in the Top 10.
DTs there, but running a bit light weight wise.
That list will move around a lot.
Still think trade down is a possibility .
Second one is fading ..finally. Tes ...may be temporary Reversion to the classic.
But yes, the list changing. Every year.
There is a big drop off it seems to me after the top 50 players this year too
Maybe it’s my perception idk.
If we don't absolutely fall in love with someone we want at #2 I would trade down once or ever twice. If we traded down with Cleveland for Houston's pick at #4 and then traded down with Denver or even the Jets we should be able to gain enough ammo to draft Nelson and Price for LG & C, very effectively replacing Pugh & Richburg, plus we could probably come up with a decent OT prospect, a RB, a FS and a LB all within the first three rounds and then get another RB (return man), a WR, a developmental QB in 4, 5, & 6. I am also hoping for a compensation pick for losing Hankins.
