From fantasypros.com. I use their service for my fantasy baseball team and I noticed this...thought I'd share.
1.11 New York Giants – Rashawn Slater (OT – Northwestern)
Some have started to compare Slater to Cowboys’ future Hall of Fame guard Zach Martin, which is high praise. Some view Slater as a tackle while others view him as a guard. The Giants can plug him in to replace the hole left by Kevin Zeitler at right guard, but also have depth at tackle should an injury arise. Slater is also one of the few offensive linemen who was able to contain Chase Young back in 2019, a player the Giants see twice a year. The ideal pick from a pure talent standpoint is probably Micah Parsons here, but the Giants can’t afford to risk a high first-round pick on a player who has some big off-the-field question marks, especially with their recent history.
2.10 New York Giants – Joseph Ossai (EDGE – Texas)
Ossai isn’t someone I’m particularly high on, but there are some in the draft community who believe he may go in the first round, and edge is a clear need for this Giants team, so I’d expect them to take the highest one on their board.
3.12 New York Giants – Aaron Robinson (CB – UCF)
EDGE is a position I'm still trying to figure out exactly how much value Judge/Graham place on the position.
I have no issues with Slater. Would be fine with that pick in this scenario.
I have to believe the way the board is going to fall we're going to wind up with Smith or Waddle.
What would we do if they're both there? I'm assuming Smith.
Also have to believe if Surtain is sitting there, that might change things?
good to hear
we can do the math, partner. he’s shared elsewhere that it’s going to be Offense- and so if it’s not Slater it’ll be whichever WR drops. (I haven’t seen AVT ruled out, but just assuming.)
Thanks Rico, I don't want an OG at 11. Can you tell us if it will be a surprise target? Somebody nobody has mentioned?
Yeah, this isn't that complicated. At some point, it's just a process of elimination. We've heard consistently that Slater and Parsons won't be picked, and at least one of the Alabama WRs and Paye are likely to still be available. I'm still hoping for a trade down, but it would be so unlike the Giants.
Kind of early, let him throw out some hints tomorrow when it's closer to the actual draft.
