what strikes me is how completely, utterly different the player rankings are on PFN, PFF, GBN and TheDraftNetwork. A guy can have a second-round grade on one site and a sixth-round grade on another.
It's a huge year for the scouts to prove their value, because there's no consensus. I think we should all be prepared for the Giants' board to be entirely different from all of them.
The trades are funny, you make 5 trades and move 10 spots
11 TE Kyle Pitts (6'6" 240 lbs clocked a 4.7 forty in high school at similar size)
42 ED Carlos Basham Jr (Feldman Freak)
76 OG Ben Cleveland (Feldman Freak)
116 CB Trill Williams (Feldman Freak)
198 WR Warren Jackson (6'6", 215 lbs - had 30% team market share receiving yards in 2019)
203 WR Marlon Williams (6'0" 222 lbs, 29.1% team market share receiving yards in 2020)
Traded down from 11 to 18 with Miami to get an additional 2nd and 3rd.
Mostly used their player rankings, which are very different from those on other sites. I barely know anything about these guys, I have no idea how to scout them. I read some online blurbs - just one person's opinion. Checked some player rankings, which vary wildly. Watched some WR highlight reels, but they don't always tell you much IMO. But I like guys who make contested catches, are good hands-catchers and who seem fearless and aggressive.
18 - Jayson Oweh, Edge, Penn State
36 - Teven Jenkins, OT, Oklahoma St.
42 - Dyami Brown. WR. North Carolina (I love what little I've seen of this kid.)
76 - Dayo Odeyingbo, "Edge" (plays DT, DE and ER), Vanderbilt
81 - Ben Cleveland, OG, Georgia
116 - Seth Williams, WR, Auburn (Love what little I've seen of him, too)
198 - Deommodore Lenoir, CB, Oregon
203 - Jaret Patterson, RB, Buffalo
The site gave me an A- overall. A- for the trade. C+ for Brown, Odeyingbo and Lenoir. B+ for everyone else.
11 Sewell OT best player in the draft?
42 Jaelan Phillips ER BPA meets need at position of high value
76 Eric Stokes CB BPA, high need high value position
113 Nico Collins WR (prototypical X WR)
198 Anthony Schwartz WR (too fast to pass up)
202 John Bates TE Boise State (Kevin Boss redux)
11. DeVonta Smith WR BAMA
42. Wyatt Davis OG Ohio St.
76. Ifeatu Melifonwu CB Syracuse
116. Patrick Jones III EDGE PiTT
198. Tamorrion Terry WR FSU
202. Noah Grey TE Duke

2. Dyami Brown WR UNC
3. Chazz Surratt UNC
4. Quinn Meinerz C/OG Wisc-White
6. Tommy Kraemer OG ND
7. Elijah Mitchell RB Louisiana-Laf
#20 CB Surtain (used capital from trade back to trade up into 1st round)
#33 OL Slater (traded up into top of 2nd round)
#42 TE Friermuth
#76 WR Dyami Brown from N Carolina
#83 WR Tylan Wallace from OK State
#116 LB Jamin Davis from Kentucky
If the Giants could get Paye, Surtain, Slater and Friermuth I'd be doing hand stands.
Not realistic, but it did pull off the trades without using the "force" option.
Edge, CB and LB for the defense and OL, TE and two WRs for the offense just in the first four rounds.
