Of all the prospects that are being mocked and projected

superspynyg : 4/9/2021 11:24 am
buy us the fans and the mock drafters and will likely be there at 11, which player (single player not players) are you least concerned about (either health, size, skill, or off field)
Least?

Slater, because he has a high ceiling as an IOL

*floor. Sorry
I agree with Slater

Waddle was hurt, Smith doesn't carry much weight, Pitts may not have a position, Surtain I have read has trouble on deep ball defense, the EDGE guys all have negatives that would keep you from drafting them this early.
a position he'snot played, right?  
Bill L : 4/9/2021 11:34 am : link
I think Smith. He's never not proven it.
It has to be Slater  
Chip : 4/9/2021 11:39 am : link
Waddle Broken ankle
Smith to light
Sewell to young especially for NYC
Parson has off the field issues from being a 17 year old which might him the second least to worry about.
Surtain

I'm certain it surely must be Surtain.
Least?

Smith. But I’ve been doing work on Smith before the Giants regular season was done. I’ve closed my book on Smith long ago. I’m confident in the player and the person. I have absolutely zero concerns about his weight. He is my number one target.

Do you feel, if the Giants draft Smith, that the Giants will bite on a potential offer for Shepherd or Slayton? Or do you feel they would stay put with the loaded WR room?
Slater  
PaulN : 4/9/2021 12:08 pm : link
That one is easy, I would be thrilled to nab him.
Slater or Sewell  
Mike in NY : 4/9/2021 12:10 pm : link
But that is assuming they are drafted at 11. If you take someone who should be going at 11 at 4 then it might not look as good.
I just wrote this on another thread  
Dnew15 : 4/9/2021 12:15 pm : link
but if the Giants draft Waddle/Smith - I think SHep is playing for a contract with a new team the following year.

I would keep Slayton/SHep for this year - but Shep's contract makes him real expendable the following year.
Slater.

I'm not as concerned as everyone else that 175 is too light. the rules have changed and that dirty cheap shot fucker Dawkins isnt in the league anymore.

I think they try to move Shepard. I personally wouldn’t move Slayton. I like Slayton as a #3 option that allows Smith to shift to the slot on 3 WR sets. I see Smith being a Z/Slot WR. In 2 WR sets he’d play the movable Z, in 3 WR sets he moves to the slot. I think that’s the most effective way to use him in relation to our other receiving talents. If Golladay goes down you move Slayton to the X and allow John Ross to man the slot while keeping Smith in the Z.
Given the criteria, Surtain would be my choice.

A Day 1 starter, great work ethic, great teammate. We can nitpick on some weaknesses in his game, but he is as solid and pro ready as they come.
I don't think anyone wants  
Dnew15 : 4/9/2021 1:14 pm : link
Shep.

He's an expensive slot WR with a history of chronic injuries including concussions who's spoke publicly about his concerns about another one and walking away from the game.

That's a tough sell to anyone for any kind of return.

Makes sense, thanks!

no doubt about it. I haven't seen a better college WR in a long time. He will have no problem adjusting to the pros. Contrary to the opinion of some, he will not be snapped in half.
