What do you think the Giants do at #6?
IMO its gonna come down to three guys. Josh Allen, Clelin Ferrell, and Montez Sweat. In that order. Whichever of these guys is available at #6 will probably be the pick.
I also see the 2nd round pick being a DB. At CB I like Amani Oruwariye, Joejuan Williams, and Julian Love.
At S I like Deionte Thompson, Juan Thornhill, and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson.
I see them picking up a OL in the 4th/5th rounds like Dru Samia as I think they make one splash signing on the OL in FA (Daryl Williams) and roll with Halapio and Brown at C and RG.
Doubt the Giants go CB in the 2nd. Odds are it will be OL or another DL if a talented guy slips.
J Bosa - V Likely Gone By 6
Q Williams - V Likely Gone By 6
J Allen - V Likely Gone By 6
So one of :
G Williams
R Gary
D White
J Williams
J Taylor
C Ferrell
Ill guess J Williams, who will play RG or C due to short arms.
Round 2 will be OL. I think we take 3 OL's in this draft!
If Allen Bosa or Q Williams are there then you pick one. Guys like Ferrell Wilkins Sweat Greedy all have question marks like Haskins but play positions that are deep in this year's draft.
White is my dark horse given our need and he's flashed at least as much as the other names on this thread.
DH has a good arm and all signs point to elite mental processing and leadership. Don't overthink it we need someone to learn from Eli and we aren't a contender this year or next but are a threat to end up with the 20th pick next year and the only way to move up that far without trading the tops of MULTIPLE drafts would be moving OBJ.
Who HATES to lose? Who grinds it out play after play? Who never gives up and gives it their all? Who brings an "attitude" to their position? That is who the Giants will draft.
I'm not up on the college draft but I know that whoever the Giants draft, they will bring these qualities to the table.
Who is that person?
I thought Kuechly was drafted the year before DG took over as the Panthers GM. I'm pretty sure you are mistaken.
2 years? Is Lauletta your projected starter in 2020?
My guess is that we take Christian Wilkins.
I think Wilkins is exactly the type of guy that both Bettcher and Gettleman like.
Wilkins may not be as flashy as some of the other guys, but he is very experienced, disruptive, versatile with excellent intangibles. I think Bettcher could use him in a similar way to how he used Calais Campell.
Wilkins toolset complements Tomlinson and Hill nicely. I could see Gettleman pulling the trigger on Wilkins at 6 if we stay put.
Rashan Gary
Jonah Williams
Not sure the order, yet....
Haskins
Bosa
Allen
The next Group of guys may or may not be around:
G Williams
Q Williams
Oliver
White
Ferrell
I believe the Giants take the best pass rusher that is left of this bunch. For arguments sake, I'm saying that is going to be Quinnen Williams.

Pete,
You forgot to mention Christian's favorite role: Fullback! The NYG need help at the goal line and it would be fantastic to see the second coming of Clemson's Refrigerator Perry! (smile)
In all seriousness, I think he would be a great addition for the intangibles, especially if the Giants traded back a few slots and CW dropped. Not likely, but.....
Not only is BPA Gettleman's core philosophy, it's pretty much what he's been saying he's gonna do: Pick the BPA. Fix the Defense. Connect those two concepts, and there you are.
Sure, he'll listen to offers. But I doubt he'll move unless the offer is unreal. He's gonna have some very good, players available at 6, and my guess is that he'd rather have one blue-chipper than two red-chips.
I don't think he'll take Haskins or any QB at 6 (and I hope he doesn't). If he wanted to reach for a QB, he could have done that last year from a far better class, and he didn't.
Unlike the fans and the media, I don't think DG's even remotely worrying about getting a QB in this draft.
People seem to forget he drafted one last year, just not early. And if it wasn't early, it didn't happen. To fans and media, Kyle Lauletta doesn't exist. To the Giants, he's a young guy who now has a year in the system. Doesn't mean Lauletta is the answer or the eventually successor, but they don't need the successor THIS YEAR.
Further, it'd be recklessly stupid to play a rookie QB until they fix the OL, anyway.
1. Josh Allen
2. Dwayne Haskins
3. Clelin Ferrell
4. Drew Lock
5. Montez Sweat
There is a possibility that either Oliver or Gary could be the guy because the 5 Tech position is usually considers a pass rush position in the 3-4.
I would love Allen but to me he will be gone. I think Haskins is a very good prospect.
A trade up for Haskins (👎🏽)
Gary
White
Oliver
If Haskins isn't an option I think it's Gary. Also fits the prototype on the otherside.
If he's gone, I would not be shocked if they selected TJ Hockenson.
I think what they do in free agency may have a major influence this year, it had no influence last year by comparison.
Haskins is the perfect candidate to sit and learn for the whole season or even 7-10 games similar to what Goff did in 2016. There are merits to starting right away, but you also see what good it can do to sit and learn for a bit. This team isn't ready to win a Super Bowl next year.
If Gettleman doesn't settle the question of the successor to Manning, he's going to hear about it after every loss, every Interception, every incomplete pass.
This is New York. You can't let the big stuff fester.

Likewise.
Hes actually my least liked QB in a class I loathe as a whole. Needless to say, I would be monumentally disappointed.
2. Haskins is taken before we pick
3. Murray is completely off our board before the draft even starts
4. We're left picking between Jones and Lock, and Jones is considered the safer pick and closest to Eli 2.0
What I'd like to see is the Giants take a chance on Kyler Murray. Really swing for the fences with the immense upside.
