No holds barred, you can orchestrate a trade up to 1, drop down and get more, blah blah blah. Bottom line, your right now (and it will change 100 times in 30 days) absolute dream picks at 6 and 17. The only thing I ask is to be reasonable with where guys are slated to go and I can't believe I'm saying it, just contribute, let's keep it clean and civil and share some grey matter.
Right now, my dream scenario is
Round 1, Pick 6 - QB Dwayne Haskins, OSU.
Round 1, Pick 17 - WR D.K. Metcalf, Miss St.
OR
Round 1, Pick 17 - TE T.J. Hockenson, Iowa
Chances are Metcalf is long gone by 17 but if there is any way he's there I nab him immediately. He's a matchup problem just with his size and he has elite speed to match it. You add a 6-3 lightning bolt who can block down field to an offense with Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley and a much improved OL from two years ago and you have the pieces in place.
Hockenson would be an immediate starter, updgrade our egde blocking in the run and the pass game and he's a talented down field pass catcher and a lot of times we played best out of 12 personnel and I think Shurmur is going to use a lot of that.
Haskins is the one today, who I want at 6 after his pro day. He looked much much quicker up close footwork wise and his arm talent speaks for itself. I have questions as do others on his experience and how easy he had it at OSU but we're talking prototype size, arm talent, bright kid with a calm demeanor who seems to just get it.
So you'd have finally a solid OL (yes my blind faith in DG means I'm assuming he fixes RT by September), a superstar do it all RB who teams have to box in, a TE/Y in Engram who can absolutely fly and a big strong armed QB with smarts and intangibles. And then a matchup nightmare in Metcalf or a solid reliable two way TE in Hockenson. And flame on!
Get the rush back. Trade for Josh Rosen
This defense is right now ?
#17 EDGE Brian Burns
#37 WR N'keal Harry
Please
17 Greg Little
17 Greg Little
This works too.
#37 Traded to AZ for Rosen
Engram averaged 80 yds a game over the last few games. We added Tate who is better than Shep. Barkley is an amazing receiver out of the backfield. The offense may not be as dangerous without OBj but it can certainly be a good one.
With that said 17 needs to be a defender at a critical spot of need. ER or shutdown corner. I would take Jaylon Ferguson or Greedy if either made it to this spot. Burns in the mix as well. Id get my OT at 37 (as the draft class is uber deep there).
17 - Hockenson
If we trade for Rosen or wait until 2020:
Devin White @ 6
Hockenson or Dillard @ 17
Please
Where do I sign? I'd take this in a heartbeat and be as thrilled as could be.
6. Haskins
17. Devin Bush
With 17, depending on who is available, I honestly wouldn't mind trading it and collecting a first rounder next year, plus more. Accrue enough assets to be able to go QB next year or perhaps, Trevor Lawrence in 2021.
If we kept it, Brian Burns if he was there. He's my sixth overall prospect, but I don't see many mocks having him go in the top-10.
#17 - Cody Ford/Hockenson
IF Q. Williams is gone as is likely
#6 - Jonah - He fix the RT this season and next, but he'll be able to take over at LT to push Nate off the roster
#17 - Hockenson
That said, my dream scenario’s would be Rashan Gary and Devin Bush, or Devin White and Devin Bush. Get some speed and impact players on that side of the ball.
17 - Hockenson
Come on Terps, in the DREAM scenario...Williams will still be there
At #17, Byron Murphy.
+1 can’t separate and always hurt oh yea and he can’t do the number 1 thing a wr should do and that’s catch the football. BB has 2 wr requirements can he catch the ball and create space. No and no he’s at best a round 2 talent.
#17 OT Jawaan Taylor or TE T.J. Hockenson (pretty sure neither will be on the board at 17 - "Dream Scenario"
Based on what? His arm length? I think he has longer arms than Joe Staley.
#17: Dexter Lawrence.
What I tentatively think will happen:
#6: Dwayne Haskins.
#17: Jaylon Ferguson.
Hmmmm. I think he's got RT written all over him, actually.
Dillard at 17.

Jonah isn’t a tackle in the nfl he projects inside to guard.

Everyone is hung up on the 1/8" inch shorter than the magical 34" inch cutoff. The "projection" of him playing inside despite never playing a snap inside is ridiculous. Jonah will be our whale. He fixes RT in the short-term while kicking Nate off the roster in 2 years (if not sooner).
17- Dillard
Try to trade back into the late 1st for Bradbury.
This defense is right now ?
And based on some very slow shuttle times at the Combine, that creates more concern about his ability to get in and out of cut for the rest of the route tree...

I don't think you can just make two picks at the top without subjecting yourself to criticism that you are ignoring this or that need. We have a plethora of needs all of which I believe are addressed with these selections with the obvious exception of QB.
The common cliche for both Giant management and journalists is to build from the lines out. I think the way this draft falls and the desperate shape that our D finds itself, that it is much easier to draft from the back seven in.
I think DG started to do just that by replacing our two starting safeties with FA's. It is critical to our D that speed and athleticism is increased in both the middle and at our corners if we are to compete in a pass crazy league.
The biggest risk with the above draft imo is to wait until #37 to fill the ORT slot. Draft another potential weapon at WR and then just fill in the D as best you can.
OR Staying Put
#6 Jonah Williams
#17 Clellin Ferrell (cant possibly still be there can he?)

Well we disagree on a WR, will the world keep rotating?? :). To me he's the kind who can be a threat because of that 9 and the height and the speed. He's a go up and get it guy, which may not actually fit what Shurmur does best but tools wise, you don't see that height/speed very often.
Beyond that, as I'm sure you know, I view WRs as mostly widgets - easily found, easily replaceable. ;)

Unrealistic:

#17 Devin White
#37 Trade for Rosen.
More Realistic:
#6 Montez Sweat
#17 Jawaan Taylor or Devin Bush
#37 Dexter Lawrence or Deondre Baker
#17 Byron Murphy CB
I'm big into Murphy, too. He really looked the part at the Combine. And that's definitely a position of need.
