Pretty interesting mock from Ed Valentine of Big Blue View

Victor in CT : 3/22/2020 8:47 am
with trade down with JAC for their 9 and 20 overall:

OT Becton at #9
EDGE Epenesa at #20
C Ruiz at #36

Yes please, though I don't know much about Epenesa, looking forward to Sy56 preview. The rest as follows:

Round 3 (No. 35/99) — Amik Robertson, CB, Louisiana Tech
Round 4 (No. 4/110) — Prince Tega Wanogho, OT, Auburn
Round 5 (No. 4/150) — Quintez Cephus, WR, Wisconsin

3 OLs makes sense after the FA approach

Espensa  
XBRONX : 3/22/2020 8:48 am : link
is a fit for a 4-3
Been thinking of this scenario  
aGiantGuy : 3/22/2020 8:51 am : link
After trading away Nick Foles, I really feel the Jaguars are trying to hide their intent of jumping the Dolphins for Tua. Everything depends on if the Lions trade out or not.

I have to assume Ngakoue will be in the conversation as well but you gotta like that extra 1st rounder.
Epenesa is...

the slowest damn edge person I've ever seen...
Seems like the Jags are blowing things up  
GiantsRage2007 : 3/22/2020 8:56 am : link
Would be surprised if they traded up

I like the idea of 2 1st's for our #4 pick tho
This is a very logical trade to happen ...  
Spider56 : 3/22/2020 8:57 am : link
But I hope the picks are different ...
Just actually read the mock  
aGiantGuy : 3/22/2020 8:58 am : link
The picks are all over the place, the Jags aren’t giving up a first to select Ceedee Lamb and the Chargers aren’t passing on a qb with Tyrod Taylor as qb1. And we are definitely not taking Epenesa in the first round, maybe the third if he drops.
similar mock by Serby today, except they trade with the Raiders  
Victor in CT : 3/22/2020 8:58 am : link
and take OT Wills and EDGE Chaisson

he also has Epenesa going at # 20 but to the Jags

Watching Epenesa  
giant power : 3/22/2020 9:00 am : link
perform at the combine, the guy did not even look like an athlete. Slow and clumsy in his movements. Better choices will be sitting there to be had with a first round pick if we are so lucky to end up with two.
And the Giants  
XBRONX : 3/22/2020 9:04 am : link
are not drafting a CB in the third round.
interesting mock from Ed Valentine of Big Blue View

that would be a horrendous draft - a guard ,a 4-3 end , please i can even do better than that.

dropping further then 9 would be a mistake imo  
George from PA : 3/22/2020 9:12 am : link
As I can not imagine the Giants like all 4 OLmen.

Maybe a reach but I’d take Baun from Wisconsin over AJ. It a bad loaner Better a fit IMO.
I do think the Jags are the only team that might trade up with us  
Chip : 3/22/2020 9:15 am : link
Drop Espneza and throw in a WR or another OL at 20. I don't believe the Raiders will move up.
Sorry. autocorrect  
LauderdaleMatty : 3/22/2020 9:15 am : link
But he may be a each there. Loaner wtf

This is literally the first mention I've seen in what at this point has to be days and days off reading about the prospects where I've seen 6'8 Becton listed as a guard. You're thinking of Wirfs.

He can play with power - he has the size - I wouldn't overrate the underwear olympics - he should be productive in the NFL. Not a top end Edge but someone who can effect the passing game and cause disruption.
I like the idea and the players  
DavidinBMNY : 3/22/2020 9:45 am : link
Some of those players are just really good football players with crappy athletic numbers.

Ruiz won't last to 36.
I think we could get more picks in that trade down  
adamg : 3/22/2020 9:50 am : link
At least a 2nd.

Maybe a future first if we throw in our second.
Epenesa  
Allen in CNJ : 3/22/2020 10:12 am : link
is a 4-3 defensive end. He's not an "EDGE" rusher as he's big, bulky, and stout. Sorry that's a horrible pick.

Sign me up for Wills at 12 and Chaisson at 19. Dream draft.
I like Espenesa  
Coach Red Beaulieu : 3/22/2020 11:04 am : link
big time conference, ER stats I take almost at face value, unlike QB and RB stats, as its more one-on-one.
Said it before  
BleedBlue : 3/22/2020 11:08 am : link
say ir again

Yannick and #9
For
#4

They keep their first rounder we get a stud edge.
Sign him n LW long term and focus #9 and #36 to build OL
I like Epenesa but not as an edge.  
j_rud : 3/22/2020 11:15 am : link
Hed be nice in a role like Arik Armstead on the Niners. He could end up being a DL chess piece, but hes not gonna solve anyones pass rushing woes.
I like the trade down  
The_Boss : 3/22/2020 11:48 am : link
But I really dislike the players Ed has Dave taking. Both players make me nauseous.

Chiasson's T-Rex arms are going to be a real weakness at the next level, IMO.
I've played around a little bit with that simulator  
ghost718 : 3/22/2020 3:47 pm : link
Ruiz is almost always there at the top of the 2nd.I like him,but taking a center that high kinda stinks,at least in this draft.

Maybe if they had another pick it would help.

In the 3rd,another good option might be Troy Pride.

I don't know, it worked out pretty well when the Jets took Nick Mangold in the 1st round. I personally think the C is a vastly undervalued and underrated position. I don't care how your OTs are, if you C stinks your line stinks. If the QB can't stepup, the pocket collapses
Good value...  
bw in dc : 3/23/2020 9:22 am : link
with Wanogho in round four. Solid prospect in my eyes.

But I would support a cluster draft for OLs. I’d draft at least four, maybe five. We desperately need quality and quantity.

I like Serby's mock much more. Espanasa will be a good pro, but he seems like a LW clone. I'd rather get an upside ER like Chaisson, if possible. I'd prefer Wirfs to Wills, but I'll be fine with either.

Rong5611 : 3/23/2020 1:57 pm : link

We need a center. If we get a 2nd RD1 pick (late in the round), I'd use it.

Epenesa is unlikely to be a formidable Edge in the NFL  
JonC : 3/23/2020 2:00 pm : link
he is sun dial slow and plodding, more likely to play 3-4 DE or possibly 4-3 DE as an anchor. He busts his arse and hustles and battles, but is a very limited athlete for the NFL level. His game is power and being relentless.

I'd rather take a shot at Gross-Matos or Baun.

I don't think it's that simple.I'd like to have a few extra picks in rounds 2-4 in this draft.That's how I view it.Taking a center with a high 2nd round pick might not be the best use of that selection.Depends who's available

I know this place loves offensive lineman,probably more than defense,but that's how I see it.
BIG yes
