Yesterday is done. Time to talk about Friday & Saturday

YANKEE28 : 11:56 am
The Giants currently have the following 7 picks remaining

#95 (3)
#108 (4)
#143 (5)
#171 (5)
#180 (6)
#232 (7)
#245 (7)

The obvious need is an edge rusher and an O lineman.

Thoughts on the best way to finish the weekend?
There  
AcidTest : 11:58 am : link
won't be a Saturday. Gettleman is going to trade away all of our picks tonight to move up into the third round.
Any guess as to what time  
ajr2456 : 11:59 am : link
We get to 95?
They've been pretty aggressive lately,  
j_rud : 11:59 am : link
think theres a good chance we aren't waiting til pick 95. Hitting on 4 of the top 50 or so prospects would go a long, long way in rebuilding this roster.
OL  
AcidTest : 12:00 pm : link
and edge. I've said I like Bobby Evans at #95 and Jalen Jelks at #108. Maybe a WR late.
I'd package 95 and 143 to move up to the 70s

Gettleman thinks this is deep draft at a number of positions including secondary, wide receivers, lines.
Haskins  
madeinstars : 12:00 pm : link
Is quite a bit more accurate. Most advance stats seem to agree.

'Not a rocket' seems to be a bit of an understatement regarding Jones' arm strength. If you watch him throw out routes on tape it's quite a scary sight.

Wrong thread
Sy said it and Ill repeat it  
The_Boss : 12:00 pm : link
The rest of the draft is for filling in depth. Were probably done finding a legit contributor. Whatever holes we still have, and they appear to be many, will likely be addressed next offseason. Hoping to fill them with lottery tickets, UDFAs, and other teams castoffs is wishful thinking.
We still need alot

He has used a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th round pick on 2 cornerbacks.
I can see a player trade...  
Strip-Sack : 12:05 pm : link
if it's EE, they better get an offensive weapon. Obviously KL is available as a throw in piece to any trade as he won't get much by himself.
Lets not forget,

George from PA : 12:11 pm : link
That we trade picks for some players that can contribute.

Players that are bad fits on current team, that can resolve specific issue.

Also, draft a stud punter

They may need to mortgage a pick next year for that. Id support it actually. Get a talent you want now and love as you build up and play the draft game next year.

Its possible Giants are picking top 10-12 picks next year and given they have their QB prospect they possibly can recoup and trade down next year if they have to sacrifice a 2 or 3 next year.
Just depends on the runs at certain positions  
KerrysFlask : 12:18 pm : link
I think WR is the best chance at getting an early contributor at 95.

No way on the first.

They could bundle a 2 next year and a 4 this year. I could see a team in the back end of the 2nd like the Pats or a few others biting.
I would like to see the Giants use one of the 7th's  
on QB Jake Dolegala. I know they have Jones but Dolegala has a great arm and he has a higher upside than Lauletta. Two years as the #3 QB might turn into a steal for the Giants. If not he could be Jones' backup for several years.
They'll  
AcidTest : 12:19 pm : link
likely get a comp three for Collins, so they could possibly trade a third next year, and other assets to get back into the second.

It's pretty clear that Gettleman didn't get all those day three picks to use them. He got them to use as collateral to endlessly trade up. That seems like a bad strategy on a team with so many holes.
Would they trade Tomlinson?  
ij_reilly : 12:20 pm : link
In order to move up.

Tomlinson and picks.

Tomlinson being a Reese guy and the NT picked last night. Is Tomlinson appropriate trade bait?
I'd try to get back into the 2nd and get Taylor or Cody Ford

+1 - What would be the net gain if either/both were traded?? Both can contribute.

In no way, shape, or form do you trade a first next year to make that happen. I assume Jack Rabbit is on the block, and Im fine moving a guy like him. But the Giants really need to acquire draft equity next year, not deal it away.

Of course, this is the dumbest front office of all time, and Im not sure Gettleman is even of sound mind, so it wouldnt shock me to see him give up our first next year in a shortsighted move to get another pick now.
Probably

Secondary with next pick and one of the fifth round picks.
OL with fourth and sixth.
Wr with other fifth rounder.
Seventh rounders, BPA.
Jenkins  
AcidTest : 12:56 pm : link
isn't worth more than a day three pick.

If you want a second round pick you have to trade Engram, or Tomlinson and a pick from 2020, both of which I oppose.
I love Taylor Rapp  
RAIN : 1:07 pm : link
Think hes more of SS tho.
How about the safety Adderly  
ghost718 : 1:13 pm : link
I've read everything about inconsistency,but the way this guy moves out there,I think it's worth the gamble.
Too disgusted to care  
...about the rest of this draft.

We came in desperately needing pass rush and a RT. So far we got a QB who won't dress for a single game, a click better nose than Tomlinson and a good corner who could be a lockdown.

As thrilled as I was last season this season feels like we left a lot on the table.

...  
GothamGiants : 1:23 pm : link
All of this talent available with no pick until 95 ... better trade up
Lets hope for a big WR run and the mediocre QBs start going

Jaylon Ferguson in a trade up please?
Trading Engram will be the last straw for my offseason  
We will come into 2019 FAR WEAKER than we were in 2018. What we're only interested in having a SINGLE playmaker on the roster and just pound the shit out of him until he is forced to retire in 4-5 years?

Going back to the 1980's style...pound the rock 40 times, limit passes to 15-20 SHORTEN THE GAME and play awesome defense...except this time we have none so SINGLE MISTAKES will cost us games we are able to stay close in.

Really disgusted.
RE: We still need alot  
I guess their thinking is that we can get an edge rusher in the lower rounds and maybe he can get a few pressures and get us 5-6 sacks thats awesome.

GothamGiants : 1:27 pm : link
Maybe enter the 21st century and figure out how to use him as the focal point of the passing game

Such an underrated talent on this roster. He shines without Beckham - Feature him!

Trade next years 2/3 and use all that cap to plug holes next year.

There is legit first round talent just sitting there

(Risner/Ford, Ferguson)
This team needs pass rush before anything else.  
Brown Recluse : 1:28 pm : link
Lorenzo Carter and Markus Golden likely aren't going to cut it.

Youre short selling Lawrence big time and a lockdown CB is crucial to Bettchers scheme.

Hated passing on Allen, but this shit roster has so many holes and they plugged 2 quite nicely last night.

I just hope they dont trade Engram - it better be for a haul if they do
If we stay put, here are some potential Rush and O-line targets.

There are plenty of solid developmental guys, at the very least.
