He's got 4 QB's selected before the Giants pick at 11. He also has Alabama WR team mates Jalen Waddle and DaVonte Smith slipping past the Giants and going 13 and 14.
The Giants select Miami Edge Rusher, Gregory Rousseau. I wouldn't get overly dogmatic about this, but I would think long and hard about taking a player that high who has missed a full year of college football.

Not you. It sucks. Have to search to find the name of the player.
Their main job is to CONTAIN.
1) Set the edge against RBs
2) Contain the QB in the pocket, don't rush past the QB
Leonard Williams is the #1 most important pass-rusher in this scheme.
Impossible they pass on a Top 3 WR to reach for an EDGE.
Just remember:
EDGE = devalued in this Defense
I wonder what Saban has to say about Jones to his buddy Belichick. If there's anyone that Saban will be completely honest to, it's Belichick. And Patriots have nobody at QB. Can't see Belichick going another season without a QB like this past one. Especially after Brady just won a Super Bowl.
And u are ok with passing on BOTH Devonta Smith AND Jaylen Waddle???

They aren't gonna reach for anybody. If they draft Rousseau it will be because he was the BPA on their board. Same if they draft a WR. Or a CB. Or Pitts. Or whoever. One thing we can feel confident in is that the Giants will select the BPA.
As Einstein said “And you know this because....”.
Pitts, Parsons or Farley in Rd 1.
...and in the 2nd I like Patrick Jones and Carlos Basham.
The unit needs a good infusion of talent for the longer term as well.
1st round Gregory Rousseau
2nd round WR Terrace Marshall Jr.
3rd round Stanford OT Walker Little

You say that as if reaching is far beneath the Giants.
Well thats just not true. But I will echo the feeling about having issues with taking a guy with so little tape, who sat out last year, is deemed raw and with no combine.
I dont like the squirt receivers at Bama, but I could tolerate Smith. No way he makes it that far. I am talking myself more and more into Slater if one of the two corners arent there.
Why does he have Sewell going to Cincy in his 1st mock, and then Slater in his 2nd? Davonte Smith to Philly in his 1st, Kyle Pitts in his 2nd? He thinks those teams are going for positional need, and wants to cover his ass by picking the top options for each. What is the value in that?
Four QB's and one pick no one saw coming, Chase and Sewell for sure.that's 7. Alost certainly two of Michah Parson, Slade and Pitts Makes nine gone.
So there will be available one of Parsons, Slade, Pitts, then WAddle, Smith, Z. Collins, Patrick Surtain, Caleb Farley, Gregory Rousseau, Kwity Pay and Horn (cb).
You could easiy substitute and or all of Surtain, Farley, Smith and Waddle for the Parsons, Slade Pitts group.
But no matter how much checkers you play with those pieces almost all formulas HAVE to leave them with a highly rated corner or WR.
It's hard to think of a more maladjusted group than the folks who compulsively worry about a draft before free agency and have to daily write about it. Damn participants dont know or care to know about us, while we need to know what they weighed this morning and how their hips swivel.
Compulsive and if anyone has a cure, please let me know. I'd love to not care so much, love to give up on a game that 's grown past me and athletes who are completely different (and better) than in my day.
Gettleman and Judge seem to prefer more polished players.
Rousseau is the classic "boom or bust" prospect.
