You can blame work for my boredom. O how I wish I had an interesting job.
Anyway, I didn't do any trades:
1) Cardinals - QB Kyler Murray - Oklahoma
2) 49ers - DE Joey Bosa - Ohio State
3) Jets - DT Quinnen Williams - Alabama - best player in
the Draft lines up next to Leonard Williams to cause a disruptive interior.
4) Raiders - ILB Devin White - LSU - a leader for the D and a MLB to cause havoc
5) Buccaneers - DT Ed Oliver Jr. - Houston - replacement
for McCoy
6) THE NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS - ER Josh Allen - Kentucky
7) Jaguars - OT Jawaan Taylor - Florida - truly a wildcard. Jaguars seem to always go off the beaten path.
8) Lions - ER Montez Sweat - Mississippi State
9) Bills - DL Rashan Gary - Michigan
10) Broncos - QB Drew Lock - Missouri - I'm going off the rumors that Elway loves Lock.
11) Bengals - TE TJ Hockenson - Iowa - they need a TE. Eifert's often banged up and is only there for one more year.
12) Packers - WR DK Metcalf - Ole Miss - a weapon for Aaron Rodgers
13) Dolphins - ER Brian Burns - Florida State - new coach Brian Flores gets a weapon of his own on the EDGE.
14) Falcons - DT Christian Wilkins - Clemson - high character interior disruptor to pair with Takk McKinley and Vic Beasley
15) Washington - QB Dwayne Haskins Jr. - Ohio State
16) Panthers - LB Devin Bush Jr. - Michigan - replacement for Thomas Davis and a speedy LB to line up next to Kuechly
17) THE NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS - WR N'Keal Harry - Arizona State - this was a bit tough because there are a few O-Linemen on the board: Jonah Williams, Cody Ford, Andre "Dilly Dilly" Dillard... but it seems that Gettleman likes his "hog mollies" big and mean. Jonah and Dillard are more finesse, technique guys and Gettleman may not even see Ford as a OT. I went with Harry because of the idea of surrounding Eli with weapons. I think he's good value here.
18) Vikings - TE Noah Fant - Iowa - Rudolph's great, but a two-TE set with Fant and Diggs on the outside? Pretty damn good.
19) Titans - DE/ER Clelin Ferrell - Clemson - they need pass rushers BADLY
20) Steelers - CB Greedy Williams - LSU - Haden is aging, Artie Burns blows....I like Murphy more than Greedy, but I do think Greedy provides the higher upside given his size, speed and length.
21) Seahawks - WR Hakeem Butler - Iowa State - Seahawks get some MUCH needed size on the outside
22) Ravens - WR Parris Campbell - Ohio State - absolutely dreadful WR corps needs an upgrade
23) Texans - OL Jonah Williams - Alabama - Matt Kalil isn't the answer to anything
24) Raiders - RB Josh Jacobs - Alabama - run the ball, baby
25) Eagles - OT Andre Dillard - Washington State
26) Colts - DT Jeffery Simmons - Mississippi State - build in the trenches, baby
27) Raiders - CB Byron Murphy Jr. - Washington - an absolute steal here
28) Chargers - WR A.J. Brown - Ole Miss - great value
29) Chiefs - OC Garrett Bradbury - NC State
30) Packers - OL Cody Ford - Oklahoma
31) Rams - CB Rock Ya-Sin - Temple
32) Patriots - DT Dexter Lawrence - Clemson

DE Jaylon Ferugson - Louisiana Tech
QB Daniel Jones (Duke)
WR Hollywood Brown - Oklahoma

...despite nearly all professional commentary to the contrary. I hope you're right but I doubt it. Most likely scenario is Allen goes as legit ER is the more desirable position and we take Oliver. That's a fine player to us and imo more realistic.
...despite nearly all professional commentary to the contrary. I hope you're right but I doubt it. Most likely scenario is Allen goes as legit ER is the more desirable position and we take Oliver. That's a fine player to us and imo more realistic.
I think there's a good chance he falls to 6. People may think he maxed out and won't get any better because there are better athletes.
'won't get any better because there are better athletes'... Â
Sorry I didn't follow this line. Are you saying other prospects are better athletes? Or he'll be going up against better athletes? Becuase at 6'5 260+ he ran a low 4.6 and his agility drills(3-cone/short shuttle) at that size/height are damn good...
I don't think there is anyone I love that will be available at 6.
QWilliams/Allen/Bosa are pretty much consensus top 3 players in this draft and will all likely be off the board.
I like Devin White, but he's rumored to be in the sights of TB at #5 overall
That leaves the Giants picking from Sweat, Oliver, Gary or a QB at pick #6. I don't love any of those guys for the Giants.
-Gary's film/production don't warrant a high selection
-Sweat seems inconsistent and I think his straight line speed is causing him to be a bit overvalued
-Oliver is the guy I'd take of the 3, think he'll be a good player just not sure he fits the 3-4. Don't get me wrong he is good enough to make it work, but he does lack the prototype length at the 4/5 tech.
I'm starting to think the Giants should see what it takes to swap picks with Oakland if QWilliams or Allen are still there at 4.

The former. You have guys like Gary, Oliver and Sweat who have posted freakish workout numbers and could conceivably be taken before Allen due to what some may consider higher potential.
Allen had 17 sacks in his senior year and he does not have many moves. I think Josh has scratched the surface of his potential. Allen has a very high ceiling. He is larger and faster than Khalil Mack.
Round 1 (6): TE TJ Hockenson, Iowa

Round 6 (180): LB Terrill Hanks, New Mexico St.
Round 7 (232): RB Ty Johnson, Maryland
Round 7 (245): S Malik Gant, Marshall
What became clear to me very quickly is that the only blue chipper still likely to be on the board at #6 is Hockenson. Otherwise there's a dropoff at #3 or #4.
1st round Giants trade-up from #17 (950 pts) overall + the #72 from Denver (230 its) to Green Bay for their #12 over-all (1200 pts). Giants select Florida’s Offensive tackle Japan Taylor

5. FS Marquise Blair (Utah)
5. DE Kingsley Keke (Texas A & M)
5. TE Zach Gentry (Michigan)
6. RB Qadree Ollison (Pittsburgh)
7. NT Olive Sagapolu (Wisconsin)
7. OG Hjalte Forholdt (Arkansas) - I picked him because we need O-Line depth and I like his name :D
6 - Greedy Williams. I generally have a strong distaste for db's that don't like to tackle, but Greedy is one of the best cover corners I've ever seen. He's not quite Deion, but he's not that far off.
17 - Best front 7 player available. I'd love it if any of the following fell - Ed Oliver, Brian Burns, Clelin Ferrell, Devin Bush or Christian Wilkins. We'll get someone very good, but won't be able to choose which one.
35 - Trade for Josh Rosen
95 - Best wideout available. I'd love it if Miles Boykin was there and would be willing to trade a 3rd day pick or two to move up to get him.

I'd be pretty damn happy with this. Don't much about the dudes after Grier, just that Benzschawel & Moreau are big strong dudes. Was trying to fit value/need according to their board
- Must take best edge rusher available with pick six...
- for pick seventeen, take one of top three OTs if they are there (J. Williams, J. Taylor, A. Dillard) OR take best defense available...
- Get starter at pick thirty-seven
- Rest of draft, build BALANCED depth
- Defer quarterback succession to next year

Soooooo... all but dexter of the Clemson DLine? Bryant is a day 3 player who was only good because of the supporting class around him. We would only need one edge guy and in a 3-4, you have one NT and Tomlinson is that guy. Wilkins is good but not at a position of need. I would like Bryant in round 3,4, or 5. Ferrell is good, but I don’t like Wilkins at 6.

1. At #6 the Giants select either of the defensive linemen Ed Oliver or Josh Allen (whichever is still available - likely that both will not be).
2. At #17 I believe the Giants will then grab one of two Clemson players - either Clelen Ferrell, the "edge" rusher, or Christian Wilkins, the versatile interior lineman.
3. I'd love it if the Giants then took an offensive lineman with their #37 pick. One of the following would be a very nice get (the first two I list may already be gone by 37): Dalton Risner (Kansas State), Christ Lindstrom (Boston College), Greg Little (Ole Miss) and Erik McCoy (Texas A&M). However, I can also see a scenario in which the Giants traded their #37 pick to the Arizona Cardinals for Josh Rosen, who was a top-10 pick in last year's drat, and the #1-rated quarterback for some draftniks.
4. Amani Hooker is an Iowa safety who could drop a few spots for the Giants to grab him at #95. If he's not there I'd love to see the Giants draft one of the following DBs: Jaquan Johnson (Miami safety), or TEs Dawson Knox (Ole Miss) or Kaden Smith (Stanford).
5. In Round 4, it's possible that - if the Giants have not made a move on the QB position - Will Grier (West Virginia) could very well be a no-brainer. If not, I think good value would be to take one of the following: David Long (CB, Michigan), Christian Miller (Edge, Alabama), or possibly Ryan Finley (North Carolina State quarterback).
6. Let's say for some reason either Grier or Finley fall to the fifth round and are sitting there at the #133 pick, it would be great value for the Giants to draft either. But if they've already made a QB move by this point, or those players are not still on the board, the following would be very viable picks: Blake Cashman (Minnesota LB), either of the following WRs - Darius Slayton (Auburn) or Jakobi Meyers (North Carolina State), or if he is still available, Notre Dame LB Te'von Coney.
7. Picking again in Round 5, the Giants could take with the #142 pick a guy I really like in David Sills V (although I'd hope they could get him a bit later - if he's there, I say grab him). Other possibles: O-lineman Ross Pierschbacher (Alabama), O-lineman Isaiah Prince (Ohio State), UCLA TE Caleb Wilson, and yeah, I know ... crazy, but if he is available I think you need to grab Stanford RB Bryce Love at this spot.
8. The Giants also have the #143 overall pick (Round 5), so any one of the picks they DON'T get at 142, take them at 143.
9. One more pick to the Giants in Round 5 (at #171) could be one of the following LBs - Bobby Okereke (Stanford) or David Long Jr. (West Virginia). If he's still on the board, 6-2, 202 WR DaMarkus Lodge (Ole Miss) might be a very nice get at 171.
10. In Round 6, the Giants have pick #180, and one of the following should be available: CB Kendall Sheffield (Ohio State), Chris Slayton (D-lineman, Syracuse), and Maxx Crosby (Edge, Michigan State.
11. Round 7 (Pick #232) should be one of two Boston College safeties - Lukas Denis or Will Harris (nod to Harris if they're available).
12. Last pick in Round 7 (Pick #245) should be Brett Rypien (Boise State quarterback) because ... why not?
My draft addresses the defensive issues in a big way, grabs at least one young QB to go with Lauletta, and perhaps TWO QBs, we get at least another O-lineman and we even get a potentially versatile RB in Bryce Love.
Based on GBN player rankings. You have to figure we'll package a few picks to move up some, but I didn't account for that.

What became clear to me very quickly is that the only blue chipper still likely to be on the board at #6 is Hockenson. Otherwise there's a dropoff at #3 or #4.

35 - Trade for Josh Rosen
95 - Best wideout available. I'd love it if Miles Boykin was there and would be willing to trade a 3rd day pick or two to move up to get him.

Soooooo... all but dexter of the Clemson DLine? Bryant is a day 3 player who was only good because of the supporting class around him. We would only need one edge guy and in a 3-4, you have one NT and Tomlinson is that guy. Wilkins is good but not at a position of need. I would like Bryant in round 3,4, or 5. Ferrell is good, but I don’t like Wilkins at 6.

1. At #6 the Giants select either of the defensive linemen Ed Oliver or Josh Allen (whichever is still available - likely that both will not be).
2. At #17 I believe the Giants will then grab one of two Clemson players - either Clelen Ferrell, the "edge" rusher, or Christian Wilkins, the versatile interior lineman.
3. I'd love it if the Giants then took an offensive lineman with their #37 pick. One of the following would be a very nice get (the first two I list may already be gone by 37): Dalton Risner (Kansas State), Christ Lindstrom (Boston College), Greg Little (Ole Miss) and Erik McCoy (Texas A&M). However, I can also see a scenario in which the Giants traded their #37 pick to the Arizona Cardinals for Josh Rosen, who was a top-10 pick in last year's drat, and the #1-rated quarterback for some draftniks.
4. Amani Hooker is an Iowa safety who could drop a few spots for the Giants to grab him at #95. If he's not there I'd love to see the Giants draft one of the following DBs: Jaquan Johnson (Miami safety), or TEs Dawson Knox (Ole Miss) or Kaden Smith (Stanford).
5. In Round 4, it's possible that - if the Giants have not made a move on the QB position - Will Grier (West Virginia) could very well be a no-brainer. If not, I think good value would be to take one of the following: David Long (CB, Michigan), Christian Miller (Edge, Alabama), or possibly Ryan Finley (North Carolina State quarterback).
6. Let's say for some reason either Grier or Finley fall to the fifth round and are sitting there at the #133 pick, it would be great value for the Giants to draft either. But if they've already made a QB move by this point, or those players are not still on the board, the following would be very viable picks: Blake Cashman (Minnesota LB), either of the following WRs - Darius Slayton (Auburn) or Jakobi Meyers (North Carolina State), or if he is still available, Notre Dame LB Te'von Coney.
7. Picking again in Round 5, the Giants could take with the #142 pick a guy I really like in David Sills V (although I'd hope they could get him a bit later - if he's there, I say grab him). Other possibles: O-lineman Ross Pierschbacher (Alabama), O-lineman Isaiah Prince (Ohio State), UCLA TE Caleb Wilson, and yeah, I know ... crazy, but if he is available I think you need to grab Stanford RB Bryce Love at this spot.
8. The Giants also have the #143 overall pick (Round 5), so any one of the picks they DON'T get at 142, take them at 143.
9. One more pick to the Giants in Round 5 (at #171) could be one of the following LBs - Bobby Okereke (Stanford) or David Long Jr. (West Virginia). If he's still on the board, 6-2, 202 WR DaMarkus Lodge (Ole Miss) might be a very nice get at 171.
10. In Round 6, the Giants have pick #180, and one of the following should be available: CB Kendall Sheffield (Ohio State), Chris Slayton (D-lineman, Syracuse), and Maxx Crosby (Edge, Michigan State.
11. Round 7 (Pick #232) should be one of two Boston College safeties - Lukas Denis or Will Harris (nod to Harris if they're available).
12. Last pick in Round 7 (Pick #245) should be Brett Rypien (Boise State quarterback) because ... why not?
My draft addresses the defensive issues in a big way, grabs at least one young QB to go with Lauletta, and perhaps TWO QBs, we get at least another O-lineman and we even get a potentially versatile RB in Bryce Love.
Bring on the draft!
