We will use this as a discussion thread to keep the SELECTIONS thread uncluttered. These threads will be used for the duration of the draft.
While we are starting early, the clock won’t officially start until
Monday, April 8th at 9am. The draft will run from 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday until the start of the NFL Draft (Thursday, April 25th) or the completion of the 6th round. Please remember to use the DISCUSSION thread so we can keep this thread uncluttered.
Once a team is on the clock, they will have two hours to make a selection. If a team goes on the clock after 4pm, their two-hour window will roll over to the next day. For example, if you go on the clock at 4:30pm, you will have until 9:30 am to make a selection. Picks may be made between 6pm and 9am if GMs are online and following the draft thread. The time limit only applies during the 9am to 6pm timeframe. If the two-hour time limit expires, I will make a pick using any list that the GM for the team has sent me in advance (send lists to the email address in my profile) or in the absence of a list, I will use the GBN Big Board with a little discretion so as not make an obvious dumb pick (e.g. Kansas City won’t be taking a QB in the 1st round this year).
In consideration of your fellow participants, and so we can maintain strong momentum throughout the draft process, please continue to actively monitor the thread over the next two weeks. As always, I will provide "friendly reminder" emails as your upcoming picks approach.
If a GM misses a pick AND fails make some form of contact with me (either via email, posting on the draft DISCUSSION thread, or providing me with a prospect list) prior to their next pick, they will have just 15 minutes to make their next selection. With two consecutive missed picks, their spot will be forfeited and reassigned to one of the BBIers who have expressed an interest to fill the vacancy.
If you expect to miss a pick, please send me your draft board and I will make the selection on your behalf.
Per usual, we will also hold an undrafted free agency process that will start immediately after the final pick of RD6. Anyone who wants to participate can select up to 5 UDFAs. Selections are made on a first come, first serve basis. I am not making any changes to this process, so please don’t ask.
Please utilize the
BBI Mock Draft Spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains the draft order (RD1-6) by team and GM with a fairly comprehensive list based on the GBN Big Board (as well as several other prospects that did not make the GBN Big Board). I will try to keep the spreadsheet and thread updated as often as possible… Good luck!

Hope you like it. Adding to the DL is a good thing. I read online about Wingo's commitment to his team and how he returned early from injury to play in the team's bowl game. That impressed me. I wanted that kind of character on the Giants. Hopefully, his talent proves worthy of the selection.
Just when I think you can't make this draft any worse.... You go and totally redeem yourself! If you decided to watch LSU to see Daniels, Nabers, and Brian Thomas and it wasn't just highlights. Your probably saw Wingo wrecking shop with quickness. He has had some injuries, but high character and a leader. They give #18 out as something you have to earn. He is going to be a good fit in our def which if people didn't know is more 4-2-5 than anything. He will cause issues on the inside especially on passing downs. He shouldn't have made it this far.
Thank you, Amtoft. I need to credit you on this one. Earlier you endorsed the DLinemen who were available, so I paid them more attention for my 3rd & 4th round picks. I was probably going to select Orhorhoro at 3, but he was gone, so I went with Brooks. Fortunately, Wingo was still available at 4. I’m happy how things have worked out. I’d like a do over in the 2nd though.
Hey, I didn’t notice that the Giants have a long wait between their 4th & 5th round picks. This is where trades suck.

Just noticed that I get a chance to possibly snipe you in Round 5! :)
Thank you Pete. We do not pick again until #157 and he was not going to last. His 4.33 speed alone makes him attractive.
Looking at my top tier of remaining players, which still has a lot of names, WR was one of the shallower positions with only 2 guys still on the board (Thrash and a player who shall remain nameless until he is selected). Of the two I thought Thrash was the better bet to play outside at the NFL level as the other guy looked more like a slot guy so that was the direction I went. Would not be surprised if Rounds 5 and 6 and "UDFA" come form this same tier of players that, quite frankly, would be late Day 3 and UDFA types in most years.
Yes, McMillan was the other WR that I had as a draftable grade in this year's draft. This really is a year that you want as many picks in the top half of Round 4 or higher as the pool after that is equivalent to late round/UDFA after that.
I will make the offer again at the start of next year's draft
He may not have the bend that scouts typically look for but has great size (6'4 267), plenty athletic enough (4.69 40yd with 1.62 split) and the guy just plays with his hair on fire... Uses a squick burst and a strong bull rush to get to the QB and make plays behind the LOS consistently (+12 TFLs in '22 and '23)... Similar size, athleticism and effort as another former draft sleeper, Maxx Crosby coming into the league... Team captain and seems like a great kid with the intangibles to succeed at the next level

Davis is nearly two years older than Spiller. His age and ~850 college touches - across three programs - suggest some wear on the tires. Still, he played his best ball in 2023, with a breakout game against Florida, so the Bolts see him as good value in Round Five: a potential starter and a nice three-down insurance policy in case Edwards hits a wall at 29.

I don't know... I thought the same thing it falls off. Not sure if just people are missing on the players I like, but I have two players I think are high 4th rounds and another 4-5 that are solid late 4th or early 5th. I am hoping to get two of them in my next two picks although I have had my 6th round pick lined up since before the draft.

thanks! agree with all of that. I like my edge guys with some size and bulk to be factors stopping the run. Very active and physical, just lacking an explosive twitch. He's a very interesting prospect that feels similar to AJ Epenesa
That is one of the reasons I picked Smith for the Falcons a few picks ago
It happens like that sometimes. The Giants allegedly almost drafted Tiki Barber 7th overall in 1997 ahead of Ike Hilliard.
I had let me know that he would be back up again
Dang it. He was at the top of my list for hoping he would be there at 165.

Selecting more offensive line help with a versatile interior offensive lineman that can play Center but will play at Guard for New Orleans. Saints have 3 more picks coming up soon.
Dang it. He was at the top of my list for hoping he would be there at 165.
I like hearing that after I make a pick haha
Thanks GT... No worries at all
Finally addressing interior DL with Tyler Davis, and adding the electric Tyrone Tracy at RB.

Damn it, McCormick was my back-up and I thought he would slip through because of where he was ranked
Good, you didn't. Give me a minute
MadPlaid, I couldn't help myself. Jim Harbaugh talked about how much he loved Keegan so John did him a solid when Limmer and McCormick got sniped.
