I apologize for the delay. One of my sources was dealing with a delay. I have two sources I trust when it comes to giants inside info. I generally want to wait within a month of the draft to get more fleshed out details. Here’s what I’ve gathered so far.
- Giants have put most of their research into the EDGE class. There are only 2 guys that would stop them from going EDGE In the 1st round. Kyle Pitts and DeVonta Smith.
- Penn State pro day was more about Oweh than Parsons. Coach Spencer likes Parsons. Thinks he’s a good kid. But he’s be taking on a bit of a “handler” role if they were to draft Parsons. Spencer really likes Oweh. Thinks he’s has a wealth of unlocked potential.
- If one of Giants preferred offensive targets is gone. They’ll look to go EDGE. They would like to trade down to get an EDGE and have had preliminary talks with NE depending on who is available.
- If they settle to pick at 11 and both offensive guys are gone they. Select one of the EDGEs. There doesn’t seem to be a consensus yet but the belief is that Kwity Paye would be the choice because of his versatility standing and hand down. They like his personality fit and how well he takes to coaching. Love that he has a strong run defense game and believe he will grow as a pass rusher.
- if they are able to select one of the offensive weapons their is belief they will trade up from their 2nd round pick to select an EDGE in the back part of the 1st round. (I’m personally thinking this sounds like Engram + 2nd to Buffalo for #30).
- Giants like their OL pieces. Will not go OL in the 1st round unless something unforeseen happens and Penei Sewell is available. Then it’ll be hard for them not to consider. But they don’t see that as likely with the teams selecting in front of them. Belief is round 2 or 3 depending on when EDGE is selected.
- If Giants don’t go WR 1st round look for them to as a developmental piece Day 3.
Would love Oweh with a trade down....
Even the trade up, including Engram makes sense
One of them should be there no?
I don't want an EDGE at #11. I'd prefer to trade down and take one in the mid to late teens. I am OK trading #42 and Engram to get back into the first round to do so.
I’m a BPA enthusiast and love hearing that it’s Pitts or Smith if available
However, if you think there’s a big drop off what’s the problem with addressing needs at appropriate spots as long as you are doing due dillegence for an appropriate trade down? That’s what’s being discussed here.
Yes.
Really disappointing, however, to hear Paye and Oweh could be the targets at #11.
Both are absolute remote smashers because those picks would feel completely forced to fill a need.

the 11th pick?
Yes.
Jets pass on Wilson?
Quote:
will probably go to Jets or Atlanta
Atlanta I could see.
Precisely.
Not trading down but rather trading up.
Take the offensive weapon (pitts/waddle/smith) at 11 then get back into Rd1 for the edge.
This.
Same build as Marvin Harrison no?

will hold up in the NFL? Very thin and I don't think he's going to get a lot bigger.
Same build as Marvin Harrison no?

Waddle is faster with more meat on his bones
Quote:
and Engram may not be enough to allow them to trade back into the first round to get an EDGE. Oweh, Paye, Rousseau, Phillips, and Ojulari may all be gone before #25. No interest in Phillips because of his concussion history.
If we stay on 42 I like Ossai from Texas the best for prospects with an average grade in the 40's.
I'm fine with Ossai at #42. He's got a relentless motor, and is an explosive pass rusher with some nice moves.
