Schraeger Mock Draft 1.0

Angel Eyes : 4/8/2021 3:02 pm
He actually has six quarterbacks going in the first round with Davis Mills of Stanford going to Tampa Bay at the end of the first round. The Giants would be drafting Micah Parsons here.

He was more durable in college than Waddle. I want no part of Waddle if he can't demonstrate that he is back from his injury. His performance in championship game was nowhere near 11th overall caliber especially when Smith was putting up 12 for 215 and 3 TD's against same opponent.

Don't know if you are being facetious or not, but the two gold standards of being tuned into teams thinking are Glazer and Schraeger, everyone else in a very far second.

And you are right, there is no one with total insight right now, but this is when the rumblings start and probably why he didn't release his first mock until right now. Personally, having a hard time not believing it's Smith, but Schraeger knows his stuff, so I doubt this is coming out of left field.

Many people, including some insiders here had us on Wirfs.

I am still waiting for the horrible character concerns that make Parsons a prohibitive pick, because he would absolutely complete our defense. Hazing? In a power 5 football program? No way! Football players are meatheads.
Chop with the perspective  
adamg : 4/8/2021 5:35 pm : link
I agree. It Parsons checks out, he would be an awesome fit in this D. We could go guard in the 2nd. DL in the third. And cluster some day 3 WR and call it an offseason.

Then perhaps he doesn't have a great sense on what the Giants will do. Many media folk thought Wirfs last year. Very few had Thomas.
Parsons is my preference if he makes it to 11.  
j_rud : 4/8/2021 5:48 pm : link
I think he's gonna be an all pro, a legit franchise cornerstone. The defense last year was solid, but adding Parsons would give it an identity.

Which is even more interesting. Schraeger certainly isn't a guy to make shit up for clicks and these situations are always fluid. Possibly made some presumptions based on the orgination and is hearing differently now? I don't really pay attention to these until a week until draft because things change so much, but certainly find it interesting he dismissed it previously.

If memory serves me right it was essentially between Wirfs and Thomas, but they viewed Thomas as a guy that can play LT and Wirfs not.

Weird, because Hill didnt have a serious ankle injury that required screws, kept him limping to finish the season and he actually had a pro day where he ran sub 4.3 and leapt over 40 inches.

Stupid thing for Cossell to say and even less excusable for you to believe based on those facts. Cossell is in the media, his job is to say things that raise the eyebrows. Its up to you to discern them. But I think that advice is lost on you.

Cosell watches every single snap this kid ever had with Alabama. He watches all the top receiving prospects. He probably watched and logged all of Tyreek Hill's snaps. Cosell knows what he's looking at. Waddle isn't just fast he is an elite twitch athlete.

Love the snark from you....because it is totally unreasonable to want to know what the actual character concerns are that are being mentioned about a player. I mean, because fantastic players havent had their stock plummet due to speculated issues that held merit (Lane Johnson PEDs, Tyreek Hill domestic violence) versus those that don't (Laremy Tunsil, Dan Marino drugs).

It would be much more reasonable for me to be banging the drum for my favorite football team to choose a player based on my sharing religious beliefs with him right?

While that may be,he also finished the season with an injury significant enough that it hobbled him in the Champ Game as well as kept him from performing at his pro days. So he, unlike Hill, is an unknown quantity at this point. What if that ankle injury becomes far more of an issue for his career? What kind of help does twitchiness provide that gets him over that issue?

Been in a snarky mood lately and I don't expect it to improve anytime soon.

It's not unreasonable to want to know the actual concerns, but it's unreasonable to expect anyone in the NFL to inform you of them. Maybe it will be leaked, maybe it won't, maybe it's all just smoke. Except there's a lot of smoke coming from disconnected sources (so it's unlikely it's all generating from a singular dishonest source).
Quote:

Prospects see their stock rise and fall for a variety of reasons that all factor into their probability of success. Determining how far a prospect should fall based on off-field concerns depends on the specifics of the concern (maybe just a few spots for weed, but a few rounds for domestic violence). And as I implied so snarkily in my original comment, nobody in the Giants organization is required to inform us of it. They will tell you what they like about the guy they picked, but will rarely (if ever) tell you why they passed on someone.

The thing is, Parsons is a flawed prospect even without the character concerns. Maybe not too flawed to be a first round pick, but too flawed to go #11 overall. He is not big enough to play DE in a 4-3 and he has a lot to learn about the LB position. Does he have the football IQ and instincts to be an every down LB? That's gonna be a leap of faith for the team that selects him. As for the character concerns, if Rico were the only source it would be easier to dismiss, but he isn't the only source, and he was pretty adamant. More adamant than our asshats usually are with their proclamations.

p.s.--Lane Johnson's stock didn't plummet, he went #4 overall.
I don't know what you are arguing here.  
chopperhatch : 4/8/2021 9:19 pm : link
It's silly really. The idea that there was a report of hazing involving a top 15 draft prospect that could drop him out of that top 15, but nobody knows what his involvememt was is a very weak reason not to draft the player was my point (which you missed entirely instead opting to get on your podium and take a lecturous tone with me). If he did something that egregious, seeing as how not only is he a significant prospect, but plays for a program under the utmost scrutiny, it stands to reason, that since there have been articles written about it, we wpuld have gotten at least a hint of what he did wrong. Hell, your QB hero from a few years back was scrutinized for being too outspoken politically wearing an anti-Trump shirt on a golf course, as well as fairly unfounded rumors that he was being talked out of a pro football career by MD parents. What wasn't as talked about was that he just never was a very good prospect.

I had really wanted Parsons early on, bit have cooled off on him largely because I too had heard he lacked the cover skills I thought he had. But don't act like that is the main reason he is being knocked. It's the hazing shit and it is beyond strange to me (others have said this as well) that we have no clue of anything specifically injurious or gruesome that he did to deserve such a slip.

Be as snarky as you want, just be prepared to be called a dick for it and at least attack what my original position is. What you made was the definition of a straw man argument.
Also, this is hilarious from you:

Maybe it's something as simple as those that know him best think he's a jerk and would not fit the culture they are trying to create. Maybe he's not considered very coachable. Maybe there's been an incident, separate from the hazing incident, that has yet to be made public, but looms.

Neither you nor I are making the pick, so we don't need to pass judgment on him. This is about the information that the Giants scouting department is privy to. They are the ones who are making the pick, they are the ones whose judgment matters.

It's not just the media, it's Rico (and I think another asshat, too). He was pretty adamant that Parsons was not an option at #11 and may even be off the Giants board altogether.

Good football player and athlete. Has a lot of starts under his belt at A&M and has gotten a bit better every year. But needs to trim a lot of fat in his game to see if there is an NFL QB there. Could never really string a lot of good games together. Would have a great game, but then disappear for a game or two. So a bit of a paradox.

Not the most electric arm but he can move plays on the move. Has some robotic looking mechanics where he doesn't look very natural throwing the ball.

I could see him as a solid 3rd round prospect. I know Chris Simms is very high on him and makes a compelling case.
