Giants take Elerson Smith, an edge rusher from Northern Iowa. He was first-team All-American in 2019 but opted out of spring season in 2020. Dane Brugler says some scouts are intrigued with him as a tight end. #Giants
The two remaining picks have to be Offense IMO....
That is an exciting pick. This was one of the guys I was hoping the Giants could somehow nab, for some reason I thought he was projected to go higher. His pro day was unbelievable. Great pick.
The 6-foot-7 and 270-pound Smith ran a 4.71 40-yard dash minutes after he wowed the group with a 41.5 inch vertical leap and a 10-foot, 7-inch broad jump.
Still don't understand how a guy with those dimensions can jump like that..unreal.

Those scouts should be fired! The guy had 14 sacks in 2019.

UNI’s Elerson Smith jumped 41.5″ vert, 127″ broad at his Pro Day, and benched 225 lbs 26 times with 33 1/4″ arms That vertical may be in the 99th percentile, broad 93rd for EDGE, that’s some freaky lower body explosiveness He also ran a 4.69 at 6’6 1/2″ weighing 262 pounds!
Smith added 63 tackles and 21.5 tackles for loss on the year, marking one of the best single-season performances in UNI history. He also contributed 14 quarterback hits, 4 pass breakups and 2 blocked kicks on special teams. Smith drastically improved on his sophomore season as he had 19 total tackles and 7.5 sacks for the year.

With his vertical and wingspan, they could certainly see him as a red zone weapon. Double dip!
next year we'll have free agency and a high first round pick – maybe two high ones – to shore it up, again. If the O-line is adequate or better, then we'll have a good season.

If our OL ends up being a weak spot again, and the only guy we wind up adding was Fulton, then we suck at this...

By the end of this thread. Smith will be 290 lb

If teams keep going 3 and out, our offense gets the ball more : )
not to be critical, but did you miss our free agency this off season?
no he's the JPP of edge rushers and maybe TEs combined

Because it's yet another footnote that the giants like what they have in their offensive line.
they aren't going to keep 8 OLB.
Btw,can we necer have Jesse Armstead on camera saying things ever again? Who's call was that? I thought he was having a stroke.
Agreed. I think those two get cut after training camp and we roll with 6 edge guys: Ojulari, Smith, Odenigbo, Anderson, Coughlin, and Brown.
Who would have expected three of the first 4 picks to be on D?

Would feel much better if we can get Trai Turner in the house.
You must have hated the 1986 draft.

What about Hernandez?
