Predicting our Round 1 pick

Jay in Toronto : 4/1/2020 5:37 pm
is almost totally predicted on:

1. What Washington and Detroit do.

2. If any teams (preferably at least two) behind us have the hots for a QB not named Burrows who is still there at 4 and they want to deal.


Re #1. Colin indicated some speculation that the Redskins may like Simmons over Young.

Anyone know if any of Dan Snyder's kids went to prep school with Simmons?

Anyone keeping close tabs on the DC media market re any credible rumors that they may not pick Young?

Detroit of course is the issue. They may get a great offer for #3. They may like Okudah over Simmons etc etc.

Any insider info there?


Re #2 These factors also affect Q#1 since Detroit may be similarly pursued for a trade for a QB.


Fun stuff. We are in a great position (though better had we #3 pick 😀). I hope we go BPA which probably means Okudah or Simmons if we stay at #4 or if we go OL, it is not with pick #4.

My analysis, of course, neglects the possibility that DG has fallen in love with a 'Hog Mollie' and will take him at #4, regardless of who is available or what trade down offers are made.



No prediction , but my too choice is Chase Young.  
George from PA : 4/1/2020 5:55 pm : link
My next choice is a small trade down....swapping with Miami and/or Charger....adding 2nd RD pick(s), which I feel is a sweet spot for Centers, WRs, Safeties, which can all start right away with the Giants, and go BPA at 5/6....Simmons, One OL or whoever.

My 3rd choice is trade with Jacksonville(if they want the 4th pick) for the 9th, Yannick Ngakoue and an additional 3rd......at 9, depends on who is available but probably a OT.

I agree that Dave Gettleman and the Giants are in a great position. I am salivating at the fact that Bradberry and Okudah could be pairing up as cornerbacks.
I’d take Simmons

Even over Chase. Simmons is going to kill it.

Not that I am saying I want the Giants to draft him, but that thought of two shut down corners would be most problematic for most offenses we faced.

I know we need to protect Daniel Jones, but I am thinking Simmons if available will has to be the choice.

Initially Coach Judge said in his initial interview it's his job to get the best players out on the field at the same time. The most athletic and fast 6' 4" football player in the draft needs to be on the field for our defense day one as one of those best player out on the field with the potential to be that best player on the field.
I just hope that DG & Co. plan HARD for any and every scenario,  
CT Charlie : 4/1/2020 7:02 pm : link
so they know exactly what they want, especially including trade-downs. After the fact, no matter what happens, they'll say everything turned out as hoped-for. It would be nice to be to be able to believe them.
Isaiah Simmons

Should be the pick hands down. Only way he’s not the pick is if he’s already gone to Detroit. Point blank period

This really made me laugh out loud.

Giants are drafting an OT. As they should. Get used to the idea. Call it 95%.

I agree. But it’s not great positional value at #4 given the talent level, which is why I hope for a trade down. Get your OT in round 1, but gain an extra pick or two in the process.
I've been thinking about Simmons  
Jay in Toronto : 4/1/2020 8:22 pm : link
And all the press about his uniqueness and not fitting any mold.

LT essentially defined the OLB position forever.

I wonder if Simmons is another paradigm shifting player?
Simmons if he s there

And Young is not. Giants decide they can get high value at tackle in second round.

Is he the one folks are predicting would be best inside, or is that Wills. I get confused.
