DJ posted his third Mock of the season this morning. Jeremiah is probably as connected and knowledgeable as anyone who does mocks, so always interesting to see what he's thinking teams are going to do.
Notable here is that he's got all 5 QBs going in the top ten, Smith, Waddle and Surtain falling out of the top ten, and Kwity Paye going to the Cowboys at 10. I think this is the highest I've seen Paye or EDGE, so interesting if this is driven by what he's hearing from NFL brain trusts.
Giants get their pick of the Bama threesome - something I think the fanbase and team brass would love - and select DeVonta Smith.

We need a front 7 defender that has some speed. Just my opinion. Unfortunately Phillips and Parsons are the best front 7 guys IMO. One has injury issues and one character concerns.
Paye doesn't seem like a scheme fit to me for NYG so even if they like him he seems more of traditional DE not an OLB/Edge guy. He seems like he would be 4/3 fit so the Cowboys make sense there.
9-5 in 2018, 3-9 in 2019, 7-2 in 2020 (10th ranked)
You know what,I'm taking Surtain. Let Judge figure it out. He can bring in another defensive consultant if he wants.

They were in the championship game for the Big Ten, so yes. That said, Slater didn't even play.

Bold prediction considering an LSU receiver is the highest rated to begin with

That is correct. It will be Kyle Pitts from Florida.
If you simply have to have a defensive player, then, unless it's Parsons (who is off our board, apparently), we should try like hell to get near or at the twenties.

What if BPA on Giants' board is Surtain and he's sitting there? Gulp, another conundrum.
WR and OL have to be addressed: supposedly deep drafts for both, fingers crossed.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's our edge guy, or the cowboys.

Chase and Pitts are both gone in this mock when #11 comes around. Outside of those two, who do you have rated higher than Smith / Waddle? Curious.
I was skeptical during the season because of these messurables. Sy thinks he can gain weight, I look at his frame and not so sure. Regardless, with the way the game is played now and his ability to not take direct hits, I fully support drafting him at 11 if Pitts isn’t there. In fact if it’s not Pitts, Smith, Chase, or Penei falls, I’m fully onboard with a trade down. Not in love with Waddle and I’d be curious what he looked like on a worse offense. Smith is getting open anywhere he plays, but Waddle was able to get favorable matchups in a stacked offense and would use his speed to capitalize.
