Not necessarily the best player in your opinion, but your favorite.
Last year, mine was Quenton Nelson. I like offensive linemen. One of my favorite Giant players is Rich Seubert.
I just loved everything about Nelson and thought he was the second best player in the entire draft behind Barkley. And like Barkley, one of those "transcendent" talents that not only an upgrade at his own position but also improves the players around him. Just a huge, nasty, impenetrable wall of a guy that I envisioned tossing defenders around like rag dolls and crushing skulls like "The Mountain" from GoT. I know its an awful idea to draft a Guard at 2 and this isn't a knock on the selections of Barkley and Hernandez because I love them both, but I kind of wanted it to happen (lucky for you losers I'm not the GM).
Thats the kind of player I'm talking about. Who's the guy this year that you like so much - forget draft position and logic or reason - you'd love this guy on the team.
This year my favorite player is Devin White. There's an article on defenderdawgs thread called
Devin White: Can LSU linebacker have Saquon Barkley-like impact on NY Giants' defense?. I highly suggest you read it.
Again, probably not the greatest idea to draft him at 6, especially when we are so short on pass-rushers, but I think he's the perfect fit for this defense and team. Not only is he a fantastic player but like Nelson I just feel like he makes everyone around him better, vs the players we're used to seeing on this team that need other players around them to make them better. I love his attitude. I love his leadership and the fact that he's not afraid to step up and take charge.
The purpose of this isn't to say I think the Giants will draft him at 6 - I'm fairly certain it will be QB or ER, but I just want him on this team (I will however, scream like a little girl if they pick him)
Who's your guy this year?
Same here.
My ideal scenario is one of the top ER's drop to us at 6, and T.J. is there at 17 and in Giant Blue this year.
these guys are football players. changed positions and performed.
D. Bush
T J Hockenson A TE who can crush the DE on a block or threaten the deep middle of the field
I would be happy with D. White
But I believe Bush has the higher Football IQ. He's much better in coverage and Whites Equal in tacking and blitzing
Yep. I know he's not LT, but he reminds me of LT.
He's a maniac on the field. Love this damn player.
Q Williams, Ed Oliver, Hockenson. But it's mostly based on Youtube and what I read lol.
I agree Completely
Neither will happen, but a man can dream ...
You like dropped passes
Then
Bush/Allen/White/Oliver
Then
Some safeties and more ilbs

I have with either Bosa or Metcalf too is that I envision all of them being dinged repeatedly with injuries.
Fatman and me on the same page......

+11. Ferocious open field tackles on RB's 1 on 1 in space (screens).
Day 2 - Terry McLaurin
Day 3 - David Long (WVU)
+4. Unreal closing speed.
What closing speed? :)
Bavaro was just a plain ole beast that crushed people; Shockey was just as mean, but as fast as some CBs ! (His problem was between his ears).
Hockenson is more Shockyest. (Hopefully he doesn't have Jeremy's head problems).
+1
Garrett Bradbury (middle of the o-line, sandwiched between Hernandez and Zeitler would be incredible)
Hakeem Butler (crazy length - longer than Plaxico)
T.J. Hockenson (best blocking TE in the draft in more than 20 years - put him alongside Wheeler and you'd think Chad was a pro-bowler)
Daniel Jones (tall, cerebral, talented QB in the mold of a young Eli)
Both will be good pro's, i'd be happy with either.
He seems like the sort of player that really has sideline to sideline speed and tackles like a machine. His sack #'s are low but considering his skill set, maybe that just wasn't his job in CFB.
Giants will grab a QB at #6 or get a great defensive player.
::::ducks:::::
Without question, it would be Devin White. He would help to bring our defense back to respectability again!!!!
He's a sideline-to-sideline monster....

out gets in the weight room I could see him as a 15-20
sack pass rusher .he can play the run some and isn't the
worst in coverage .
Yep I would not be sad with this pick. It would be a shocker for sure, but I would not be sad... lol
I'm on the Josh Allen train as well.
Saquon Barkley
Ed Oliver
Dwayne Haskins
Their combination of talent and fierce competitiveness just shined to me.
