There are so many threads on the draft, it's hard to sift through all of them and find a common link so if a similar thread exists, please accept my apology ahead of time!
In my opinion, based on actual team need, and DG's thinking of taking the best player available to him and NOT forcing a pick, I sincerely doubt that we will be going anywhere OUTSIDE defense with pick #6.
All of the experts draft boards, including Daniel Jeremiah, McShay, and Kiper have defensive players atop their boards within the top 10 or so with the exception of Kyler Murray being right in the mix, but towards the bottom of that top 10.
I would think the Giants draft board is similar, but who knows. It's GLARINGLY obvious that defensive players are the premier talents in this draft, and if any of them "fall" to the Giants at 6, they're going to take them, without question. 17 is very much up in the air, and that seems like a more logical position to take a QB, but if another top tier talent falls, especially a guy like Brian Burns or Greedy Williams, you have to take them there.
This is how I see it playing out 1-17:
1) AZ - Murray
2) SF - Bosa
3) Jets - Q Williams
4) Oak - Ed Oliver
5) (trade) Was - Haskins
6) NYG - Allen
7) Jax - Jonah Williams
8) Hou - Dillard
9) Buf - Hockenson
10) Den - Lock
11) Cin - Gary (if he doesn't fall b/c of injury)
12) GB - Taylor (OT)
13) Mia - Daniel Jones!
14) Atl - Ford
15) (trade) TB - Burns
16) Car - Rock Ya Sin OR Greedy
17) NYG - Wilkins
This is a wishlist kinda thing, however it could play out like this. Obviously no one knows. But, if we walk away with both Josh Allen and Christian Wilkins on Day 1, Remmers gets signed and is healthy, we can either draft a skill guy (AJ Brown!) at 37 OR a versatile O-Lineman or CB/S.
Should be fun!
We as fans, would love to get him, the ideal OLB!
It only makes sense that #6 is a DLineman.
Just because there are a lot of high rated pass rusher/DL in this draft that one will be there at #6 rated higher than Jonah. You don't draft the position, you draft the player.
This is a great draft for the Giants IMHO. Their biggest needs are this drafts' strengths.
If they need to take a QB, I'm leaning to just trading Rosen if the cost is the rumored 3rd this year, and a conditional 2020 pick. Simply because the opportunity cost is so much less. If Rosen comes sits for a year and is a dick (which fundamentally is probably the main issue with Rosen: his fragility is overblown he took a beating last year), then move on with no cap hit and it's cost you only a 3rd, and you can draft someone next year.
To me this QB class is 2011 redux. People convinced themselves that Locker, Gabbert, and Ponder were somehow first half of the 1st round picks. Murray is clearly talented but the size is a major concern (especially when the OL will be more compressed in the NFL) as is the one season of starts, Haskins has potential but has very few starts, Lock's mechanics are all over the shop and Jones processes the field slowly and floats the deep out.

I don't think fragility is the question. He has a concussion history and likely propensity. That doesn't come under the heading of fragility. It's a real risk IMO that the next concussion he gets, he says enough is enough, especially in the CTE era.
