CBS with new stunning mock draft

chopperhatch : 10/13/2018 8:54 pm
Has the Giants picking 9th and taking a QB....the first one off the board:










Daniel Jones? This is also before his 3 TD performance today. Hes completing at a 70% clip.

How would this place react if they took him over Herbert? Lol
Armageddon on BBI - ( New Window )
How do they justify the Giants picking 9?

You'd think they'd go off of current standings.
It's  
AcidTest : 10/13/2018 8:57 pm : link
too early to say who will be #1 at any position, but I'd be surprised if we're picking as low as #9.
We are  
Jerry in DC : 10/13/2018 8:58 pm : link
In a Herbert echo chamber right now. This year's qbs are not as high profile as other year's. Like most people had seen Darnold in the rose bowl, Mayfield in lots of big games etc. This year's guys might be as good, but they've had way less spotlight so everyone is spun up on Hebert right now but it will change.

I don't think we are picking a an anyway
I watched him play for the first time today  
Jim in Forest Hills : 10/13/2018 8:59 pm : link
He was impressive, throws accurately deep. His receivers dropped two bombs that were right there. Looks like a good athlete. Want to see more.
I think the Giants win a few games  
chopperhatch : 10/13/2018 8:59 pm : link
And pick surprisingly low. I think they win at least 1 against Wash. They beat Niners, Tenn....theyll be stupid and screw up the 1st overall pick.

The Jones pick is kinda intriguing because of the Cutcliffe connect.

It could happen  
John In CO : 10/13/2018 9:02 pm : link
It's October.....things are gonna change a lot between now and the draft. Early mock drafts are very rarely representative of what actually happens on draft day. Still a long way to go in the season, bowl games, pro days, all star games, Combine, etc.....but the more good options at QB at the top of the draft the better.

Giants will not beat Tennessee.. There defense will dominate us

His name has been picking up a lot of steam lately. I started watching his film about 3 days ago. A lot to like (especially if we want a guy that can start right away.)

Also. David Cutcliffe said he’s a better throw than both Eli AND Peyton.
Figures the year that the Giants will be looking at quarterbacks

Duke has a prospect

I might take him off the draft board
I like Jones

But I like Herbert more. I wouldn’t take Jones in the top 10

With that attitude we wouldn’t have our amazing RB from Penn State.
Picking 9th??

CBS Sports CFB has taken a huge nosedive since Brugler, Reuter and Rang left. Those guys were excellent. This new crop is absolutely atrocious.

Mock might be garbage, but Jones is showing up BIG TIME. Need to see more of him, but his numbers are there.
What surprised me most is Oliver lasting until the middle of the round

They’re in the ACC. They play Va Tech, Miami, Clemson, all of whom are ranked (maybe not on Va Tech). It’s the ACC, not like it’s the AAC.
Like others have said, that mock is crazy.

That's expected. He only has one sack on the year, I think, and he's somewhere in the range of 6'1, 270 lbs. That's awfully small for an IDL.
I think Herbert is the guy  
BigBlueDownTheShore : 10/13/2018 10:28 pm : link
Right now. I say this because you are starting to see parts of the spread offense in college leak into the NFL. Particuallary the RPO.

Shurmur runs, what is considered a power spread offense. Someone like Justin is a better fit scheme wise.

Daniel Jones is more of a traditional passer.
Wtf?

Can't say I've seen him, but his stats last year make me nauseous. 14 TDs, 11 INTs, 56% comp. percentage. That's Josh Allen-esque.

Mock Draft ?  
Bluesbreaker : 10/14/2018 1:16 am : link
First off has any pundit whatever guessed the top say
20 picks ever ?
Why bother .. Sure ok to look at but not worth the conversation at this point . Never know with injuries ect .
When you have as many needs as we do you take BPA
Now if the QB you love is in striking distance then different story . I get the fact that we are pretty bad record wise but I not gonna sit here and think we wont win another 3-5 games ..
We have good shot at being top ten though .

on this site that there weren't any good Olineman worthy to draft early over the past several years as well.

Yet teams that pick them have found some good ones...

Yeah, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, and Josh Rosen, will be the only great QBs to enter the NFL for the next 10 years. Even though all of them had their flaws and none were considered surefire franchise QBs like a Luck. And that QBs from this draft might end up having better NFL careers than them. Nope, they were the only great QBs. Even though none of them are actually great QBs.

No Haskins in round 1?  
Jay on the Island : 10/14/2018 10:55 am : link
They must assume that Haskins will go back to college next year because he is way too talented to fall out of round 1. A team like the Patriots, Chargers, or maybe even Pittsburgh would jump on him.

I think you are talking about offensive tackles, and who exactly are you thinking of that were good ones we had a shot at?

from one positional player who was a bust drafted from a certain school and stereotype any other player who also plays that position at said school...but with Danielle Jones, even going back 25 years, the optics on this drafting a QB from Duke in the first round, a player without a whole lot of recognition, is just a bit tough for the older Giant fan to quantify.

Maybe not as much as you think. Phil Simms came into the 1979 draft as a QB without a whole lot of recognition. Of course that year wasn't seen as a deep QB class (although the 49ers struck gold in the 3rd round with Montana).

It's not really the lack of recognition that bothers me, just that Dave Brown was so incredibly bad, that taking another Duke QB in the first round makes me cringe. Obviously, makes no sense whatsoever, it's 25 years later, well respected coach,, etc...but just can't help it.
