gmenroc Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 and have come to realize that nobody has any idea what the Giants are going to do. First round projections for the Giants have ranged from TE to LB to OT to even DE. Second round I've seen go from CB to DT to RB to OT...and so it goes for all rounds. It's like these guys are just guessing. I will say that there seems to be some consensus on TE (Allen or Fleener) for the 1st. That said, I'm looking hoping for the following. Bolded are my first choices for the pick. Basically, I'm looking for line depth, the glaring hole at TE, and some secondary depth given Ross will probably be let go and T2 is a FA. 1st - Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State or Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson 2nd - Chase Minnifield, CB, Virginia or Bobbie Massie, OT, Mississippi 3rd - Bernard Pierce, RB, Temple or Brandon Brooks, OG, Miami of Ohio 4th - James Michael Johnson, LB, Nevada or Jarius Wright, WR, Arkansas 5th - DeAngelo Peterson, TE, LSU or Donnie Fletcher, CB, Boston College 6th - D'Anton Lynn, CB, Penn State or Nicholas Jean Baptiste, DT, Baylor 7th - Danny Coale, WR, Virginia Tech or Kelcie McCray, SS, Arkansas State I would appreciate comments, understanding that this is after looking at round projections/size/speed stuff. I've not looked at game tapes or any of that yet, so this is an early hopeful list and subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm not sure I'd be mad with any position in the first round besides qb, k, p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I think much like last year it's going to be the best player available at 32. After that I can see us drafting for need after the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK-Giantsfan Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I would really like to see us draft a potential game changing TE in round 1 or 2 (Coby Fleener or Dwayne Allen would be ideal) ...i also think we need to draft a RB before round 3 ( we are looking bloddy shaky at that position all of a sudden )...., other than that probably an Offensive Lineman is a must in the early rounds. regards UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that I can see us drafting for need after the first round. I think that's why Allen or Fleener are becoming more the consensus for our first rounder...because they'd be the BPA and fill a need.

osi724dasack Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I like, however I'm still wondering if Lamar Miller can be our new RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 any chance that LaMichael James is still available in the 2nd round for us perhaps ? From what I'm seeing, he's a mid to late 3rd round guy. So yeah, he should be there for our #2 and maybe even for our 3rd...but no way by our 4th.

Allstarjim Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Lamar Miller will have to be taken at 32 for us to get him, I believe, without a trade up in the 2nd round. I would love to draft Miller at 32, even before Allen, who I also love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I'd absolutely love to take this guy He is a little bit of a gamble, but he can be the next top stub RB in the NFL If he pans out. Kids got tremendous talent and comes from a school that has produced a stable of pro bowl RBs and players overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why it's suddenly a need.. I'm expecting BJ to restructure of course. I think TE/OL in first round... unless Burfict is there and the Giants feel they can tame his character issues... which I think is overblown.

I think Pittsburgh is taking him, Rashard Mendehall is not gonna play this year and his contract runs out at the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just would not be a fit in Fewells d, he likes to freelance too much and would not stay responsible for his gaps in a zone. I see Baltimore has a good fit.

That'd be a good destination for him. And yea Clinton Portis is a better comparison then AP, although I think Miller is a little bit more powerful.

I think the concern is that Bradshaw needs to share the load due to nagging injuries. And Jacobs, while good in relief, I believe will be 30 this offseason. And Ware, nor Scott have shown they can do much of anything in a starting role. So while it's certainly not a pressing need, it is something that I think should be addressed in the draft, but not necessarily in the first round.

Yes he fumbled a couple of times but so did Bradshaw and Tiki before him.. get that fixed and we may have a really good RB in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he fumbled a couple of times but so did Bradshaw and Tiki before him.. get that fixed and we may have a really good RB in him. He fumbled once and didn't have a chance to do anything this season (unless you consider 5 carries a chance). He did get to do some KOs in a few games.

osi724dasack Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Scott has upside But the one thing I like about Ware as the 3rd RB is that he's so damn fundamentally sound. Dude protects Eli, has good hands, protects the ball, runs hard. Problem is, he's just nothing special at all for a guy that knows his job/role so well.

I guess alot of people think, Potter is just not powerful enough for the NFL. He also played against marginal competition in college, he might struggle with nfl caliber speed rushers, he did a good job though blocking for Martin, and he kept Kellen Moore upright and Moore holds the ball. I have seen him from 3rd to 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
