My 2021 early bird draft ...

Manny in CA : 3/6/2021 11:06 pm

Preface -

The defense is basically set (it's just one elite pass rushing edge, to keep opposing QBs from having all day to pick their targets.

They'll probably lose Tomlinson, so they need a big big body to help stuff the L.O.S.

The offense needs help, big-time - dead last in the NFL

If they dump Zeitler, they need a high quality reserve (assuming Lemeiux stays at LG and Hernandez goes to RG. They need a legit "X" receiver to compliment their very good "Z" -Slayton

Barkley (coming off injury) will need help, that's where a big bull that softens the "D" line will help.

Picture this on opening day - A healthy Dan Jones running the option read with Barkley behind him, and Waddell, Slayton, Shep and "He Hate Me" Evan Engram as pass targets; not bad.

1st round (#11) - Jaylon Waddell WR, Alabama

Lol, awesome.
appreciate the work...

but pretty hopeful in the draft. Both your Oline picks are projected to go much higher
Guess you're right - Sir ...

I am reaching for the linemen.

CBS Sports has Davis as 17th best and Humphrey 96th best players

Your draft sounds good, but your WH, SL Oline sucks big time.

Again cutting Zeitler to save money is fine if you bring in a cheaper replacement. Having both Hernandez and Lemieux as the starting guards is a joke if not dangerous. Humphrey in some drafts is projected as a 2nd rounder and you have him going in the 6th round?
Love 4 and two 6,s

Davis won’t last. I’ll take a stab


Pitts Florida TE
Marshall WR LSU
Weaver DE Pittsburgh He’s a sleeper. Excellent player. Size
Deonte Brown OG Alabama DGs hog mollie to replace Zeitler
Stevenson RB Oklahoma
Slayton. DT. From florida

Free Agency. Cut Zeitler. Solder. Core. Mayo. Tate
Restructure. Bradbury. Shepherd

Resign. LE and DT

Sign. Carl Lawson and Shaquille Griffin
Davis in the 3rd and Humphrey in the 6th!!!

They are probably both gone in the 2nd. Come on Manny that’s not close. And Stevenson is a reach in the 4th and that’s coming from an OU fan.
People have much higher hopes to rookie WR to save the day

Chase is only one with a body type of an X we.

Waddle is a better version of Slayton when getting of college....but with 2 years of NFL...Slayton and Waddle is a wash
I conceded about Davis & Humphrey, Bill ...

I do like Stevenson a lot, though; he reminds me of AJ Dillion; not quite as good, but I think he could fill a Brandon Jacobs - sledge hammer type role with the Giants.

I'd be very tempted to even take him in the 3rd round.

The big deal is Waddell joining Slayton. Remember Dan Marino and the two Marks - Duper & Clayton or Dan Fouts and Charlie Joiner & John Jefferson ?

That's what I want for the Giants, Dan Jones throwing to complimentary book-ends - Waddell & Slayton.

The Oline has to be fixed before any of this can happen.
You're right Old Blue ....

About the O-line; the key I believe is COACHING. It's a chess match, (except it's a dynamic one). Hunter was an incompetent disaster, Columbo clashed with Judge, Guglielmo was just a disloyal hired gun. I can't imagine trying to come to work with a new guy talking a different language, teaching different keys & techniques every day.

Joe Gilbert at Tampa Bay has a solid (but not great) corps to work with; Gilbert just knows what to do. Their level of performance in two years, has been amazing. We need a guy like that.

I hope this new guy, Rob Sale is that kind of coach.
