Interesting read. He incorporates his live game, film review, team draft needs, and Top 30 team interviews to draw his conclusions. Link - ( New Window )
FS Jordan Whitehead to the Giants. Yes he is a cousin of Darrelle Revis, but the Giants would need to know much more about why he was suspended for the first 3 games this season.
I know it was a group of about 6 players that got in trouble last summer at Pitt, but the Giants don't need any more DB's with issues.
On the field, Whitehead certainly has some great skills.
I don't love the USC LB, I'd probably prefer a DB with that pick but the rest are good. Walton is going to be a solid pro. Can do a little of everything, runs hard, good vision, hard worker, great hands.
I would hate that Draft. No to the oft-injured Rosen. Back-to-back LBs? Did anyone notice we already revamped our LBs? And a 5th-round RB? Jesus Christ, we've done that!

If you’re going to play a 3-4, you need a lot of LBs. Those two could start with Vernon and Ogeltree.
I wouldn't touch Rosen with the twenty foot pole that I have for touching things that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. Five years from now he will be out of the league.
Also want a top rated RB or don't bother. They've got a roster full of third day guys now.
The more I hear about Billy Price and others, the more I think there are better values to be had both then and later for both G and C.
Draft only one LB. They already have their starters inside (Goodson & Ogletree) and out (Martin & Vernon), plus some depth in Munson and maybe Armstrong and/or somebody else already on the roster, so anybody drafted this year is depth at this point. Pick up more depth in free agency.
What's missing here is a top punter, another real need to fill. They've signed all those gunners and have long snappers but they need a good leg and there are some good ones available this year.
He basically hits a name on my shortlist in every round. Love the idea of cluster drafting LB in the 3rd.
Bill - Price has a partial tear in his pec. He shouldn't miss any training camp but he may be dealing with some atrophy issues. Not major enough to seriously affect his draft position.
QB Rosen
G/C Billy Price
LB Uchenna Nwosu
LB Darius Leonard
RB Mark Walton
S Jordan Whitehead
The first four picks are outstanding

I’ve done my own Giants mock that has had the same first 4 picks. That would be a good draft.
Sure does. I just watched a YouTube video of him. All he's missing is elite speed. 4.6 40 is not too great.

But first thee picks will definitely be QBs
