It’s fun when you evaluate a player for multiple yrs and obviously every team has been too. Josh Palmer WR Tennessee is a guy I know #Giants love. And are discussing internally where they can get the player.
Palmer is one of the more underrated WR prospects in the NFL Draft. Out of all the WRs Patrick Surtain II went up against last year, Palmer gave him the most fits. Palmer also went against Jaycee Horn and South Carolina and did well (6 catches; 85 yards; one TD), and against the two Georgia CBs (two TD grabs). I'd love to take a shot at him in the 4th round.

For #Giants there’s 4 Guard Fits for Day 2 that fit very well. And provide rational for passing on Rashawn Slater if available at 11 for preferred edge rusher.
Aaron Banks ND
Wyatt Davis Ohio St
Trey Smith Tennessee
Robert Hainsey ND
All 4 scheme fits...
He's really really good though. Dominated the senior bowl. He'll be a steal.
He didn't produce well at UTenn (though they had shoddy QB play) and is not a plus athlete. I'm not sure what his 40 time is, but he doesn't separate from CBs.
Interesting you say that since I think Waddle will be a bust

Because of the garbage offense he was in. Wouldn’t be surprised if they took him in the 3rd round. If Waddle is there at 11 the Giants take him if not they’re not taking a WR. I know some of you are enamored with Devonta Smith but I think he’s going to be a bust and could potentially fall in this draft.
Interesting you say that since I think Waddle will be a bust
I think Waddle is the safest WR in this draft behind Chase. Just my opinion obviously. I love how people are citing injury concerns over Waddle. He broke his ankle. It wasn’t a knee. In regards to Smith, go find me a great WR that is 174 pounds. You’re going to have a very tough time.

Marvin Harrison, Isaac Bruce, desean Jackson, Robbie Anderson. That was pretty easy

Marvin Harrison was probably that weight for most of his career. Ditto Desean Jackson. Waddle was clearly not the same WR after his injury and even though it was his ankle not his knee there is no guarantee that he ever gets back to being the same receiver that he was. Waddle may have had more YPC, but I would argue that Smith was the better WR prior to the injury.
Really? Who had us taking Thomas? Who had us taking Jones? What is our pick this year?

Uhh everyone knew we liked Thomas, everyone knew we liked Jones (people just couldn’t believe we would take him at 6), everyone knew we were taking saquon. And our pick this year is Smith if he’s there.

You just picked 4 WRs in what? A 20 year radius? Harrison was 179, Issac Bruce was almost 190, Jackson is a legit comparison, and Anderson is 190 pounds as well. I wouldn’t be happy with a Jackson career with the #11 pick. Again, just my opinion.

Marvin Harrison played closer to 180 and Smith plays closer to 170. Smith even said he was 170. Marvin Harrison also had one of the best QBs ever throwing him the ball. The odds of a 170 pound WR being dominant are very low in my mind.
Had a great week of practice at Senior Bowl and scored a TD in the game.
Would love him on the Giants. One final commen: had only 4 dropped passes in his career at Tenn.

I named 2 HOF receivers and 2 others without doing any research. Anderson is 6’3 so obviously he’s heavier. Smith can obviously add some weight, but the guy played 4 years in the SEC against NFL caliber competition and put up absurd numbers. I love waddle too, he’s my second choice, but Smith is the prize.

Completely false. Any of the top tackles were linked to us. So, you admit that nobody knew we were taking Jones at 6 but insist everyone knew our picks. Makes no sense. There is a difference between people making assumptions on who we like and what actually happens.

You named 1 legit comparison. Issac Bruce and Robbie Anderson were/are 190 pounds and Marvin Harrison is 179 pounds. I’ll give you 2 (hardly) and again tell you that with the #11 pick, Desean Jackson is not good enough in my mind.

Also yes, everyone knew we wanted Jones, again anyone on this board can attest. There’s a difference between people making assumptions and hearing “The Giants love this guy”. It’s been this way even since the Reese days when we got jumped by the bears who took Leonard Floyd. I just listened to the Bill Simmons podcast with Warren sharp (he’s a betting guru) and even he said it’s known the giants love devonta Smith this year

Show me where it was known that Gettleman loved Thomas. The only thing that was out there was Sy saying based on past linemen that Gettleman drafted Thomas fit that profile.

Pointless argument, we are talking about 4 pounds difference between an NFL vet and a 21 year old rookie. That’s fine if you prefer waddle, I think he will be a stud too, I just love Smith and think he’s going to the better of the two

I don’t think it’s pointless because Harrison is obviously what you would want if we drafted Smith. I just don’t like the odds of that. My feeling is that he will not be able to get off press coverage at this level and with the Giants OL problems that is not a good combination for success.

2nd round picks are high enough picks with good enough talent to possibly consider them day one starters or close to it. How much more do we need with what we have at the moment. Even if they take a year we have guys who can start this year and give them time to develop. Slater is an overdraft given what we have and what we can get instead at 11.

Thanks Robbie. The Giants have plugged the leaks that were there under the previous GM. Some people just love to hate on Gettleman.

I think Waddle is the safest WR in this draft behind Chase. Just my opinion obviously. I love how people are citing injury concerns over Waddle. He broke his ankle. It wasn’t a knee. In regards to Smith, go find me a great WR that is 174 pounds. You’re going to have a very tough time.
Let's see: Mark Duper, Mark Clayton, Stephen "Touchdown Maker" Baker, Marvin Harrison, Don Beebe, just to name a few. Steve Largent wasn't much more than 174 lbs.

Correction,everybody had us taking Thomas about a week before the draft. Prior to that the names associated with the Giants were Wills and Wirfs.
Very careless post.

I had to reacquaint myself with the injury....it was indeed a high ankle sprain along with a fracture. Translated, no big whoop. Waddle would be fine with me. I thought it was a more involved fracture.
Still it was against Surtain and he beat him pretty good in that TD. It's just one play but it was big play for sure.

There's more to it than weight.Some of those guys were shorter and stockier.Smith is a 6 foot toothpick.You really have to watch him and see how easy he goes down at times.

It’s been this way even since the Reese days when we got jumped by the bears who took Leonard Floyd. I just listened to the Bill Simmons podcast with Warren sharp (he’s a betting guru) and even he said it’s known the giants love devonta Smith this year
Show me where it was known that Gettleman loved Thomas. The only thing that was out there was Sy saying based on past linemen that Gettleman drafted Thomas fit that profile.
“ The New York Giants have reportedly made it known that Thomas is their preferred tackle in this class and they have the fourth overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft.” Link - ( New Window )
So, your argument is one webiste twisting what was written by Pat Leonard wrote which was saying there was buzz around 4 players when the Giants had the 4th pick in the draft? Lol. Come on. Referenced article in your link - ( New Window )
Wow you are really digging deep to disprove something that EVERYONE knew. A lot of people hoped it wasn’t true, but it indeed was.
No one had thomas pegged at 4....
Jones and Barkley sure, I guess (wasn't hard to connect the dots on either)..but I don't think anyone had Lawrence or the move up for Baker either.
The leaks are far better since the purge of staff members over the last year's.
