If you had to guess

GoDeep13 : 2/13/2019 10:43 pm
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.

I say D-lineman. Lean toward DE. Or edge as these guys are being called now. Because DE wasnt good enough.
Allen or Ferrell  
WillVAB : 2/13/2019 11:06 pm : link
Been saying it since December.

Doubt the Giants go CB in the 2nd. Odds are it will be OL or another DL if a talented guy slips.

It being either Haskins or Lock. My dark horse pick is Devin White out of LSU. He has literally no weaknesses to his game, can fit in any scheme. Hes Luke kuechly 2.0 and Im almost sure it was DG who drafted kuechly if Im not mistaken
Kyler Murray  
Giants38 : 2/14/2019 12:31 am : link
If I think it, it will happen. Also, Jordan Ranaan said he would eat his socks on TV if the Giants selected Murray, and I would love to see that (no, I do not believe he would actually follow through on that).
RE: Anything but a qb!  
Trainmaster : 2/14/2019 1:17 am : link

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.




My guess is DL at #6  
SGMen : 2/14/2019 2:51 am : link
Top tier talent on the DL this year and if Haskins and Murray go early we have more quality shuffling down our way.

Round 2 will be OL. I think we take 3 OL's in this draft!
Ask this same question after we see what the Giants do in free agency

I think Haskins will be gone and Giants take Drew Lock as they have limited options to find a qb in the next 2 years.
I think it will be a QB  
ZogZerg : 2/14/2019 6:52 am : link
They will like one or 2 by draft day and grab one.
If any of the QBs check their boxes it will be QB  
bradshaw44 : 2/14/2019 6:58 am : link
If they dont it will be the top DL. No doubt in my mind.

The consensus  
Jint Fan in Buc Land : 2/14/2019 7:11 am : link
among people who do this everyday with small to large followings who are independent and also connected with the networks think it's Haskins and I agree.

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.
Now if the first 5 are  
Jint Fan in Buc Land : 2/14/2019 7:16 am : link
Bosa Q Williams Allen Haskins and White I hope and pray we fleece Denver for Lock so we have extra draft picks to move next year. If we stay and pick after those 5 are gone then it might as well be Ford or God help us all!!! Lol
Dline / Edge or Haskins  
UberAlias : 2/14/2019 7:18 am : link
Seem the obvious direction. Edge/Dline are very good matches for needs and value, so they are most likely. Haskins is only QB who fits NYG --if he's there and they like him, I can see them pulling the trigger. This is probably too high for Lock.

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.

Current thinking at 6  
Big_Pete : 2/14/2019 8:51 am : link
My current thoughts are that we will trade down with one of the teams desperate for a QB for extra day two pick/s.

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.
I think their top 3 choices will be....  
dep026 : 2/14/2019 9:09 am : link
Josh Allen
Rashan Gary
Jonah Williams

Not sure the order, yet....
I think someone moves up ahead of the Giants and takes Haskins  
Biteymax22 : 2/14/2019 9:27 am : link
Which pushes at least 1 premium guy down to the Giants. My guess is the following are sure to be gone by the time they pick:

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.....
I'm hoping that someone trades up for Haskins and/or Murray  
Bill L : 2/14/2019 9:48 am : link
and pushes an elite player down. If that does not happen, then I hope that they drop no more than 10 spots and pick up a first round draft pick next year (or several packageable picks). Then take the best DL/OL available. If they do not drop, then my preference would be a Gary/Ferrell type followed by either White or Oliver. Either way, I'm still getting a round 3 pick somehow and taking a Stidham or Finley. That doesn't preclude bundling and moving up next year for a 2020 elite guy (my ultimate preference for QB).
They're going to make the pick at 6  
David B. : 2/14/2019 9:49 am : link
On the best defensive player on the board (even if that's a DT rather than an EDGE) or perhaps an OT if the best one is still there and is rated as high on their board as a defensive option.

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.
It's Haskins  
ryanmkeane : 2/14/2019 10:17 am : link
or White for me.
Im actually  
GoDeep13 : 2/14/2019 10:24 am : link
Surprise by all the Haskins support. I just dont get a good feeling about him. Id rather take Murray honestly if were gonna go QB. Id start him right away too. If we suck wed be in prime position to get one of the top QBs in next years draft. If it works out...my god if it works out...itll be the most athletic offense in the NFL.
The OL  
ryanmkeane : 2/14/2019 10:24 am : link
depth of this draft is really good. Not smart to go OL at 6 IMO, especially because there doesn't appear to be a can't miss OL prospect...instead there appears to be a lot of pretty good value in rounds 2-4
I think..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 2/14/2019 10:27 am : link
it will be either Haskins or Allen
To me it will be down to these 5 players in order if available  
Rjanyg : 2/14/2019 10:32 am : link
If Gettlemen thinks that the QB's are worthy of a top pick:
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.
My guess  
The_Boss : 2/14/2019 10:37 am : link
In no order, one of:
A trade up for Haskins (👎🏽)
Gary
White
Oliver



Haskins  
AcesUp : 2/14/2019 10:46 am : link
Something not often mentioned here, Haskins OC was Ryan Day, who served on the same Eagles staff as QB coach while Shurmur was OC. He'll have the inside dirt on him for sure. There are some similarities between the Giants and OSU offenses as well which should ease transition and help with the eval. Beyond that, Haskins is as close to a Giants prototype as you can get. Size, arm, smarts and clean off the field. I actually think they trade up for him.

If Haskins isn't an option I think it's Gary. Also fits the prototype on the otherside.
Probably Edge (Allen) but darkhorse is TJ Hockenson  
ij_reilly : 2/14/2019 10:47 am : link
They'll take Allen if he's there.

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.
I am hoping that one of the QB's is the real deal and the Giants  
wgenesis123 : 2/14/2019 10:56 am : link
zero in and take him at 6. I figure the QB's won't be good enough or will be gone by 6 if they are the real deal. I am hoping for an edge rusher but I really at this point have no clue who will offer the most value at 6.
1  
AcidTest : 2/14/2019 11:17 am : link
think Haskins, Allen, Bosa, Lock, and Q Williams will be gone. My guess is Sweat, or as someone said, Wilkins after a trade down. Ford is another possibility.

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.
Haskins  
Thegratefulhead : 2/14/2019 11:40 am : link
I think he is there at 6 and has the physical attributes the organization values for the position. If he is gone any one of a bunch defensive players I could see going there. I would like it to be Allen if not Haskins.
QB HAS to be addressed...  
x meadowlander : 2/14/2019 11:44 am : link
...so it's likely Haskins.

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.

Hes actually my least liked QB in a class I loathe as a whole. Needless to say, I would be monumentally disappointed.
I just think it's easy to envision the following:  
Go Terps : 2/14/2019 12:12 pm : link
1. Jones performs well at the Combine and pro day
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
Allen or White

At #6  
RomanWH : 2/14/2019 12:16 pm : link
If I'm guessing as to what I think is most probable to happen, then an edge rusher. Some highly graded, high motor guy that can get after the QB. I could envision a trade-up in the late 1st to try to take Daniel Jones if he's still there, much like what the Ravens did with Jackson last year.

What I'd like to see is the Giants take a chance on Kyler Murray. Really swing for the fences with the immense upside.
