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?
Game wrecking interior DT.
Had the pleasure of watching him all season and he was an absolute monster. There were games where he just couldn't be stopped by anyone.
We won't get him, but I think he's probably the best overall player in this thing.
+1
Interesting pick. Why Homer?
hands down
Rock Ya-sin
David Sills
Bryce Love
I like it.

I agree. Best player in the draft.

Will Grier is that dude who doesn't pass the eye test. You size him up and say "yeah no thanks". But i've watched countless film breakdowns on him and i think he has the "it" factor. His mental processing and ability to look defenders off is very impressive. The advanced analytics love him (they loved Mayfield last year too)
My dream draft scenario would be 2 day one contributors on the defensive side of the ball and a late first trade up for Grier, or he falls to 37. I'd be giddy.

I like Will Grier a lot better than Jones, that's for sure.
Favorite Round 1 guys: White, Dexter Lawrence
I just saw not necessarily the best player, but favorite. Excluding any of my Cal bears....
Kyler Murray and Hollywood Brown were my favorite players to watch. They are just so fun to watch. That Texas game down by 21 with like 9 mins left. Just a great game.
Well, you actually don't have to envision it too much with Joey.
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......
