We will use this as a discussion thread to keep the picks thread uncluttered. These threads will be used for the duration of the draft.
Once a team is on the clock, they will have two hours to make a selection. If a team goes on the clock after 4pm, their two-hour window will roll over to the next day. For example, if you go on the clock at 4:30pm, you will have until 9:30 am to make a selection. Picks may be made between 6pm and 9am if GMs are online and following the draft thread. The time limit only applies during the 9am to 6pm timeframe. If the two hour time limit expires, I will make a pick using any list that the GM for the team has sent me in advance (send lists to the email address in my profile) or in the absence of a list, I will use the GBN Big Board with a little discretion so as not make an obvious dumb pick (i.e. Kansas City won’t be taking a QB in the 1st round this year). If a GM misses two consecutive picks without providing a prospect list or making some form of contact with me (email or posting on the draft thread) the spot will be reassigned to one of the BBIers who have expressed an interest to fill the vacancy.
Please utilize the
BBI Mock Draft Spreadsheet . The spreadsheet contains the draft order (RD1-6) by team and GM with a fairly comprehensive list of prospects based on the GBN Big Board (as well as several other prospects that did not make the GBN Big Board). I will try to keep the spreadsheet and thread updated as often as possible… Good luck!
I do wonder a bit about where he'd fit with us but I trust the coaching staff to make it work.
Also considered Derrick Brown tbh (on top of the OT's).
I mean the Giants are in good position. I would love to rip Andy's pick and trust me I have plenty of time left to do that with the rest of his picks... Probably the next one. However the Giants could go Okudah... Great top CB, I am happy... LB Simmons... Tremendous talent and athletic ability, I am happy... Any of the 4 OT all have upside and while I prefer Andrew Thomas, I am happy with any.
The only pick I wouldn't of been happy with and is a totally Andy pick is Derrick Brown! Seriously Andy he was on your list!

Good thing you are not the GM! Our OL is crap and you did nothing about it! Here comes the top pick in 2021! :)
Andy!?! Dang it man! Simmons was my guy. I was hoping he'd drop to the Pack at the bottom of the 1st. Or, to my pick in the 2nd round. You guys couldn't do that for me, could you? Couldn't think of my needs? Selfish mongos!! Yeah, Optimus, I stole your insult! Come at me, bro!!
Sounds like something Jerry Reese would do.
An yes I'm screwing around here so calm down. With just a bit of truth....

I am just glad there wasn't a good TE available.
Andy has done a nice job over the years with his Giants GM role.
Nothing stopping you from starting one! That being said, he was last on yesterday morning so he likely doesn’t know you started. Might be worth sending out an email to those who haven’t been around today.
Sometimes, in the middle of hell, it helps to find a moment to smile.

Kevin already picked you mongo!
I genuinely believe Thomas is the best OT in the draft and I'm happy to select him here. I did consider Wirfs but I think in the long run he's a guard in the NFL and Thomas has shown enough in his 3 years as a starter at Georgia and was a pretty damn good technician against some of the best defenses in the NCAA. He's teachable and if it all clicks for him, he will be a perennial pro bowler.
BTW I like Jackson but the Epenesa matchup showed how much core strength work he needs for the next level. He got worn down and pushed around in that game. It doesn't get easier in the NFL.
I wanted to take Javon Kinlaw here for value but with Richardson and Ogunjobi at the DT spot, I couldn't pass on the obvious need.

I don't disagree with the assessment. Strength is the biggest area he needs to work on. Super high ceiling though. Look at Cleveland's depth chart. I can't even make an argument for another position though. I don't think Wirfs can play LT.
Who am I, though? I’ve drafted terribly over the years for the Saints
Had Cleveland selected Wirfs I think Jets take a WR

0 WR’s ... interesting

100%
Will check in as often as possible :)
Saying that there are two players I have high high above others. I still almost took my player but just couldn’t do it.
Andy should have picked an OT at 4. I'm not exactly a fan of this tweener kid. He'll get his lunch handed to him by the more physical players out there. Not a good pick IMO.
Carolina got a monster, but they need a QB too. I would have chosen Herbert.
My guy is still there for me now...
I really like the RT from Georgia, Isaiah Wilson, who should be there in Round 2. What you are foregoing in Round 1 are the potential LT’s who at least have a high enough floor that they could contribute elsewhere even if not at LT.
We're in no position to play Russian roulette with the O-Line anymore. It's a cluster fuck that will impact our core guys like Jones and Barkley.
I would think by now people would have had enough. Reading the board it surprises me how many still want to take the chances and hope the 7th or 8th OT in this Draft is good enough...if we can even get him at #36.
Scary.
I drafted him too.
Sit down and let the master do his work.

You should have gone OT here Andy. Jones is gonna get killed. Protecting him and running the ball is priority one. This kid is not exactly Pat Swilling here you picked...
He will open up that offense.
Simmons adds speed to the Giants defense that has been lacking for years.He may be the first Giant defensive players that teams have to game plan for in years.
Take a deep breath bro

Sometimes when players are closely graded by teams they may bend towards need. This OL class at the top is loaded.

Hell no! The banter is the best part. (and all in good fun, no animosity).
I want to rip on Andy but Simmons is a stud and an athletic freak. When is the last time we had a stud athletic freak on Defense? The only I got is by bypassing the top 5 OTs you basically left us with nothing. I have like 1-2 more decent OT left and you still need a center, WR, and Safety.
If Brown is BPA by a margin, you pick him
Agreed. Kinlaw is one of the reasons I would be okay with trading down to 12. Imagine him and Williams at DE and Lawrence at the nose. Tomlinson and Hill as more of rotational guys. Build like Philly where they can rotate DL all game long so they are not gassed in the 4th Quarter.
