Who is the surprise first round pick at 6?

Sy'56 : 4/16/2024 6:47 pm
All the chatter about a QB. Or a WR. Back and forth that is all that is talked about.

Choose a player who could be the surprise first rounder nobody is talking about. Not necessarily who you want - the just a guy that is valuable enough but not getting enough pub.

Mine:

Brock Bowers - TE/Georgia

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/16/2024 6:50 pm : link
I would venture Bowers or Alt, with the former making Manny in CA lose his shit.
Arnold best CB  
Carl in CT : 4/16/2024 6:51 pm : link
In the draft. A position of need and a potential pro bowl CB.
Olumuyiwa Fashanu  
section125 : 4/16/2024 6:51 pm : link
I'll go with your highest rated OT.

Bowers  
pjcas18 : 4/16/2024 6:52 pm : link
may wind up being a great player, but if the Giants take him at 6 Schoen likely isn't making the top 5 pick next year, the new GM is.

My surprise pick at 6 is Joe Alt.

upnyg : 4/16/2024 6:53 pm : link
Arnold
Alt or Fashanu  
Go Terps : 4/16/2024 7:01 pm : link
Which of these guys makes more sense as a RT?
Alt or Turner  
The Mike : 4/16/2024 7:01 pm : link
Love Bowers, but I can't imagine they would pick Bowers at six after finally moving on from an over drafted running back....
Does Penix count?  
BleedBlue46 : 4/16/2024 7:03 pm : link
Outside of Terps, no one mentions him at 6?
Anybody on defense is a surprise at #6  
ThomasG : 4/16/2024 7:04 pm : link
In fact, the Falcons may be the only team going defense in the Top 10.
Bowers makes sense...  
bw in dc : 4/16/2024 7:04 pm : link
but he hasn't been a top 30 visit, which has been a tell.

Regardless, if we do go OL, which works for me if no QB, I would love Taliese Fuaga...
How’s about a running back?  
Fast Eddie : 4/16/2024 7:06 pm : link
Ducks and runs for cover 😆
Alt

I imagine it'll be the same reaction I had when Daniel Jones was picked. hahaha
I think there’s a chance that they are high on Quinyon Mitchell the  
Mike in NJ : 4/16/2024 7:07 pm : link
Corner out of Toledo. Apparently they were high on Sauce two years ago, and Mitchell has similar size/speed profile.
If it's not a Qb, WR or a trade down  
dd in Mass : 4/16/2024 7:08 pm : link
then DE Turner or T Alt

Penix is much better than Jones.

Nix and Rattler as well IMO.

I was thinking Quinyon too. Penix would be a bigger surprise to me at 6 than any of the players mentioned so far though.
 
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/16/2024 7:12 pm : link
What about Brian Thomas?
Talise Fuaga  
GoDeep13 : 4/16/2024 7:23 pm : link
All-Pro potential at OT or OG
Bowers ....  
Manny in CA : 4/16/2024 7:24 pm : link

Joe Alt or Dallas Turner

I love the idea of Fuaga after a trade down with Chicago. And if we took him at 6 then so be it, I agree he has stud written all over him.

You might be right. I knew sy’s take would make you happy, Haha.
If no QB or WR  
Chris684 : 4/16/2024 7:27 pm : link
I think the answer would have to be Alt or Bowers.

I suppose they could go Edge but I’d doubt it after the Burns move.
Joe Alt  
j_rud : 4/16/2024 7:29 pm : link
Gonna be ironic as all get out if the pick that finally..finally...MFing FINALLY solidifies the OL is a guy, who make no mistake, will be booed by Giants fans expecting a QB or WR.
We trade 6 to Harbaugh  
averagejoe : 4/16/2024 7:30 pm : link
for Herbert so he can draft JJM.....lol
Btw  
j_rud : 4/16/2024 7:30 pm : link
An Alt selection frees up Neal to be included in a trade package to come back into the first round.

At this point….Neal has value on the open market?

Really?

He was my second choice. Kid has the skills and the mindset to be a high level shut down corner.

As part of a package, sure.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/16/2024 7:40 pm : link
The thing that cracks me up is...we deal Neal to whoever. Said team inserts him @ guard & he becomes a stud for the next decade @ that position. It'd be so Giants like, Haha.
I love the Penix zealots

They will love Neal protecting his blindside. Sub 100 IQ crew.

My read is  
Pepe LePugh : 4/16/2024 7:44 pm : link
Giants want either QB or playmaker at the top of the draft. The wideouts conspicuously meet that criteria. No RB fits here, but Bowers does.
So it wouldn’t surprise me if Bowers is the surprise pick.
I would go with Bowers too  
gameday555 : 4/16/2024 7:45 pm : link
All the other reasonable names have been mentioned. But the one guy who I have a gut feeling they're higher on than any of us realize....Nate Wiggins.
Not necessarily at 6 but after a trade back...  
Capt. Don : 4/16/2024 7:45 pm : link
Bowers.

as both adding a dynamic pass catching weapon that teams have to gameplan against, as well as a stud in-line blocker to add to our league-worst blocking, all wrapped up in one pick.

Mbavaro, what do you think his value is in terms of a pick or whatever? Give an opinion versus your normal disdain posts to anyone that questions the front office or coaches.

We’re waiting

Would be a terrible pick

Penix at 6 would surprise me more than any other pick for many reasons. And no I'm not a Penix zealot lol

j_rud : 4/16/2024 8:40 pm : link
2 years after taking a RT at 7, would be difficult to swallow. I mean if it fixes the line so be it. But the opportunity cost would be significant.
Bowers or Alt
