Another DL of interest to the Giants

YANKEE28 : 4/22/2018 8:41 am

Zach Seiler from Ferris State.

6 ft 5 3/4" and 288 at his Pro Day. The right size for a 3-4 DE. Ran a 4.78 40 and lifted 31 times. He was a guest at the U of Michigan Pro Day.

Scouts were very surprised he entered the draft after his Junior year.

If he's there in the 7th round

I;ll think about selecting him.

Best guess

One is looking for outstanding qualities, quick first move, or amazing body control, or great functional in game power, the ability to put feet movements to hands, etc., in synch. Etc.

Whereas too small would be a factor, and assuming the player has some unusual or outstanding skill set, I don't think too heavy is a thing.

And not to presume lighter equals quicker, it's not always the case.

The Giants really need help

at the 5T. Mauro is more of a backup and suspended the 1st 4 weeks. And they've got nothing behind him.

I've got my eye on Harrison Phillips as a 2nd round pick of the Giants. He's a no BS grinder in the Kyle Williams mold. It would no doubt get some eye rolls but it's a foundation piece.

Supposedly

Daron Payne has freakish quickness, speed, power. Probably could play any interior D line technique even though discussed as a nose, for example.
