My 2022 "Fearless" 2022 Giants' Draft ...

Manny in CA : 4/11/2022 5:51 pm

My draft this year is beyond fearless, maybe reckless, but possibly the biggest Giants QB gamble/opportunity since YA Tittle came over from the 49ers - who I’m talking about is Liberty’s Malik Willis. If the Lions don’t snag him up, he’s too good to pass up. ( All this, despite the John Mara “we’re committed to giving Daniel Jones a chance” talk). Willis will be on the shelf for a year to watching, but after that - look out ! The team has recently brought in Tyrod Taylor as a place holder; while the coaching staff grooms the next true FRANCHISE QB.

The Giants are obviously in a FULL-blown rebuild year, where NOBODY is safe, not Saquon, Bradberry, etc. So ….why not dump the most expensive paycheck (in Jones)?

If the Lions do take Willis, this sets up well to take their choice of the two most coveted offensive tackles in the draft - Evan Neal or Ickey Ekwonu, to begin fixing the mess, which is their offensive line.

The next piece is Georgia’s defensive tackle Jordan “godzilla” Davis. I know, many around here are all worked up about getting a first tier Edge, but as the old saying goes - “100 ways to skin a cat”. Besides being a run-stopping brick wall, he is a QB pocket crusher. If the opposing QB can’t step-up comfortably into the pocket, he’ll be running for his life (a VERY good thing for our defense).

Toward the bottom of the board, a player who just screams pure physical ability is the edge from Oklahoma, Isaiah Thomas.

Well, here goes ….

1st Round (5th over-all); Malik Willis, Quarterback , Liberty (6 /12”, 219 lbs)

is fearless enough to dodge all the remotes that would be flying their way...including mine.
You better hope Malik Willis is the one that's fearless  
Jimmy Googs : 4/11/2022 5:57 pm : link
when you don't draft anybody to play Tackle for him...

:-)
and everyone thought drafting an RB at 2 was bad...

Now we're ok with one at 5?
You're right , Jimmy ...

How about 6'8" Daniel Faalel;e (81st overall) ....

Haha...he's so big he can play Right Guard and Right Tackle at the same time.

Two for one...good pick!

You watched this team the past 5 years, and honestly think this is what they should do to build for the future?

Im genuinely curious if this is an attempt to just be contrarian, or is this how you would run the draft this year? No judgements here btw..just interested to know.
Willis  
Archer : 4/11/2022 6:21 pm : link
With the exception of Willis I like the players who you have selected

Put Neal in and we have a complete draft
Thanks Manny!  
lono801 : 4/11/2022 6:43 pm : link
Love the effort…but I can’t see the first round going like that.

Hope you are doing well!
Good to see we are all set at OL

Here's my logic, 2k ...  
Manny in CA : 4/11/2022 6:45 pm : link

I seen three young QBs this year excel behind LOUSY O-lines ...

Allen with the Bills, Burrow with the Bengals on television and one live (the Charger's Herbert). Herbert was forced to take 15-17 step drops against the Giants, and he still poked holes in our defense, at will.

I'd absolutely love to have an outstanding O-line, but this year convinced me that you can win with just an adequate one, if you have a true franchise QB -

Thus my priority - Willis, if he's gone one of the top two O- line tackles.

As far as the huge tackle; he reminds me of the Eagles' Jordan Mailata.
Great hearing from you, lono ...

Are you still in California ?
Hard no

Allen, Burrow and Herbert are good QBs.  
George from PA : 4/11/2022 7:08 pm : link
Willis is worse under pressure than Jones.....and that was at Liberty
Honest question...  
Vin_Cuccs : 4/11/2022 7:09 pm : link
What is your solution at RT? Matt Gono?
Honest question...  
Vin_Cuccs : 4/11/2022 7:14 pm : link
What is your solution at RT? Matt Gono? Just curious.
Willis is a run first qb, they don't win championships and they don't  
Jack Stroud : 4/11/2022 7:23 pm : link
last long in the NFL!
Sorry for the double post.  
Vin_Cuccs : 4/11/2022 7:25 pm : link
Not sure what happened there.
Just threw the remote  
TDTONEY : 4/11/2022 7:26 pm : link
.
Watch we take Willis at 5.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/11/2022 7:27 pm : link
Then pick up Jones' 5th year option. Of course this would never happen, but man...the BBI hamster would need to get OT.
F- draft  
gslkgr3 : 4/11/2022 8:45 pm : link
tied for Willis + Hamilton as worst possible scenario

The only pick I may be on board with is Chenal  
Rjanyg : 4/11/2022 10:03 pm : link
Not sure he is a round 2 talent, especially at 36.

Manny you are  
xman : 4/11/2022 10:33 pm : link

Vin, Guess you didn't see the Daniel Faalele post ...  
Manny in CA : 4/11/2022 11:14 pm : link

He's my solution for RT; all 6'8", 387 pounds of him (35 3/8" arms, 86 1/4" wingspan) Here's another write-up of him ...

was a pretty "fearless" move over-all, IMO.

Who are you trading for that top 50 pick?
... so we've finally reached the point in draft season

When all the discussions have been exhausted enough so as to bring about the madness
Manny might be doing a little good-natured trolling here.  
Big Blue Blogger : 4/12/2022 6:01 am : link
If so, we’ll done. A+ on that front. The Willis/Davis combination is certainly provocative.

Curious about the Likely pick (as opposed to the two UNlikely picks at 5 and 7). Why Likely? Which other TEs did you pass on to take him? Can’t say I’ve watched a lot of Coastal Carolina games.
I love your passion Manny  
Jint Fan in Buc Land : 4/12/2022 6:57 am : link
But i could not do worse if I tried.

A project QB at 5 and at 7 a two down DT who not only doesn't play a premium position but may not even be the best Georgia DT in the class.

Out of the thousand or so mocks I've seen across the internet by fans and "experts" this is truly the worst I've seen.

F-
With two guards and no tackles  
Jint Fan in Buc Land : 4/12/2022 6:58 am : link
Manny you have to be trolling with this.

I knew i should've stopped reading lol

The giants had the WORST OL but in addition how many healthy
Quality WR's played for them this year

So the GM who built the WORST OL and couldn't find a single healthy WR for his team somehow got his QB choice correct?

That's still the theory the DJFC is clinging to?

F-


It's often been said you have to wait 2-3 years before truly grading a draft.

So you'll have to wait until around 2025 to give Manny that "F"...

Well that's an improvement and certainly better than your post about two men giving oral sex under a desk, but it would be nice if you said something positive for once and managed to write more than two tense sentences... Silly me, guys like you can't write about content, put downs is your fare and your only fare. And if you ever did reach out and tried to contribute, you might be confronted with the same debasing negativity you offer.

Thegratefulhead : 4/12/2022 6:23 pm : link
I would draft Willis at 5 and Davis at 7 as well. I don't fear failing on the QB because 1st round QBs bust 40% of the time. Move on soon if you must. I think Jones makes the OL look worse than it is. He doesn't get them into the right play enough and doesn't make big plays when he has protection. Willis will make the O look better. The RPO with Willis will net Barkley some free touches in space.


Great draft.
