Ourlads' Mock Draft 1.0 (as of April 20th, 2019)...

M.S. : 4/21/2019 9:15 am
...don't know what to make of it.

Here is what they say about their approach to projecting who goes where:

"We are not working the phones, the Internet, or other ‘connections’ to ‘handicap’ the Draft. Nor do we have any hidden agenda. What we are attempting to do is to slot players based on our ratings, to teams where we feel they best fit."

As an aside, I think the "average" Giants fan would prefer a non-QB at #6 and #17 for the simple reason that they will probably contribute / start from Day One, whereas if they go QB it's sorta like a delayed gratification thing where the guy will have to sit for a year behind Eli.

this year. Defense, Defense, Defense by the weakest part of our team
Why would anybody

Do a mock draft like this? Makes no sense to me to sit there and waste time doing a mock draft you know is completely unrealistic.
I stopped reading this at pick 1

Murray is going to the Cardinals, so the rest of this draft is bullshit.
Incidentally, my personal favorite #1 reciever in the entire Draft...  
M.S. : 4/21/2019 9:22 am : link

...Deebo Samuel (South Carolina) is slated to go #19 to the Titans!

This guy is fearless.
Interesting

I wasn't aware that Joey Bosa was available this year.
BTW, this isn't a One-Round Mock...  
M.S. : 4/21/2019 9:25 am : link

...it's a full Seven-Round Mock!
YES!!!

That’s a cool exercise

But this really isn’t a mock. More like rankings based of needs?

At least to me, a mock is a prediction of what will happen.

No, you stopped reading well before that. The introduction explains that the draft is not based on what they’ve heard or gathering information from teams, but on team needs and their rankings of players. If you’d have read that, you’d understand why the draft fell the way it did.
Funny...

One of the guys from Ourlads was on BBKL this week and was talking about how he thought Sweat was going to fall pretty far based on off the field issues. He was very high on Haskins though.
My take  
SW_84 : 4/21/2019 9:41 am : link
I just cant envision a scenario where 3 of our first 4 picks are on the offensive side of the ball.

I get that when building a consolidated mock you might lose track of one given team, but from a giants perspective it just does not make sense
Here who I would have picked at our picks in this mock  
90.Cal : 4/21/2019 9:42 am : link
006. QB KYLER!!!
017. I think I like the Jawaan Taylor pick
095. FS Abrams/Adderley/Savage
108. ER Jachai Polite
132. DL Khalen Saunders
142. I like Jelks here
143. I like Sills here
171. Would like to move up here for Hanks
180. Would like to move up here for Mecole

No, I read that. No point of a draft like this. I read that, the non Murray pick and closed it. Waste of time looking at that garbage.l
Gah!  
Johnny5 : 4/21/2019 9:50 am : link
That's a terrible mock draft. IMO anyway. I don't see Murray going that far... and if the Giants picked Haskins there instead of Murray... I would be shocked, and BUMMED. lol
Lock  
Jay on the Island : 4/21/2019 9:50 am : link
Falling to the 71st pick? Lol come on
I think the premise is that nobody knows whether pre-draft smoke...  
Big Blue Blogger : 4/21/2019 9:52 am : link
...indicates a fire or just a smokescreen. So ignore both, and just try to make sensible picks. The Bosa mistake is kind of embarrassing, though.
Hope they can do something

About that long period in between #37 and #95 lot of good players are going to go in that frame

In this scenario, with all the QBs still on the board, they might be able to add picks by trading down from #6 - or even from #17 if somebody really wants Lock or Jones.

The obvious problem with Haskins - Taylor - Ferguson (a somewhat plausible combination at 6 - 17 - 37, IMO, whether one likes it or not) is that the defense might not get any near-term help. Ferguson will be making a big leap in competition. Even if his game translates, he may need some time.

Came in to post something similar. If they aren’t taking qb at 6 if move down and try to get a few picks in that range. Need more 2nd/3rd round capital. With 12 picks you’d hope that they will be maneuvering around the board.
Murray  
Rong5611 : 4/21/2019 10:23 am : link
Doesn't make it past 6 (he won't make it past 1). Perfect for Shurmur's system.
I like the direction of this mock draft.  
larryflower37 : 4/21/2019 10:29 am : link
BTW no one ever ends up close to correct with these mocks anyway.
Tampa and the Raiders are both unknown right now and the talking heads are pulling straws and making "educated guess".
You can say the same with the Giants.
I actually think if Murray makes it  
section125 : 4/21/2019 12:19 pm : link
to #6, the Giants might take him....
This is indeed...  
bw in dc : 4/21/2019 12:20 pm : link
the only mock I've seen where Fant goes before Hockenson.

That's interesting because I think Fant has gotten overshadowed a bit too much by Hockenson. I don't think the differences are that wide.

players based on where they fit best is tantamount to drafting for need, which is not what teams do.
Got to love...

Ourlads having Finley higher than Milquetoast Jones.
