Sy alluded to this being a good draft for WR's, and I think so too. It's shame the Giants have so many more pressing needs, and DG seems enamored with the group he picked in FA. I don't know that I disagree with either the Giants having more pressing needs, or existing serviceable WR's, but the more I look at WR's, the more I fall in love with Laviska Shenault's of Colorado's game.
After watching what Deebo Samuel did, it just demonstrates what a weapon a WR like this can be. Need a tough larger WR to go over the middle? You got it! Want a WR who can box out, and out wrestle a CB in the end zone? You got it! Want one who can run a sweep like a power RB, etc. You know the rest.
Too bad he'll likely be gone in the first, he would be a fantastic pick up, IMO.

I prefer we come away with some size in this Draft. Guys like Michael Pittman Jr., TJ Vasher, Collin Johnson, etc. but Shenualt is a stud for sure.
If the Giants are serious about becoming a team that can run the ball consistently, WR's who can block as well as catch are essential.
Shenault would be a steal for us (though not at #4).
you mean Ramses Barden didn't do it for you LOL?

It was really a shame. I was pretty much routing for Ramses Barden to do well. He just wasn’t that good.
However, I do not want to see another year of Daniel Jones under constant duress, taking the kind of punishment he took in 2019. If we're talking about building for the future, than protecting Jones should be of paramount importance. You make a major investment in a QB, you should also make a major investment in protecting that QB.
As I said, I'd love to get DJ a new target. I'd love that target to be Burress 2.0 (without the unhappy ending). I'd also love to see the Giants get a more complete 2-way TE (and Sy said there might be a few worth drafting this year). But I still think the Giants would be better served by waiting until day three to draft one.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

and they gave up too soon on tall receivers Joe Jurevicius, Ed McAffrey and Kevin Walter

Most of those I've seen show him going later in the 1st.

I would say Laviska goes somewhere in that 20-40 range
Are you kidding? He's been getting a ton of press, lately, especially since he said he'd love to be reunited with Sam Darnold.
Best receiver in draft could be Justin Jefferson LSU

The other Texas receiver, Duvernay, Beverly outplayed Colin Johnson at Texas. I'd draft Duvernay before Johnson.
They dont need to spend a day 1 or day 2 pick. Plenty of talent will be there on day 3. Trade down and get more picks and pick up two guys.
There are guys with size too, outside guys.
Love Tyler Johnson in rd 4 and Nico Collins in rd 6. Or Cephus in rd 5.
If DG does what he does, he will have talent there.

I am interested in seeing Johnson in the Senior Bowl. Profootballnetwork.com (thanks YANKEE28) were raving about his practices all week. Very good read, they didn't pull many punches.
