BleedinBlue Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm used to writers and analysts taking a healthy dump on the Giants. But this morning's CBS Draft grades handed out only 3 A+'s and they are: Houston: Jadeveon Clowney A+ Oakland: Khalil Mack A+ New York Giants: Odell Beckham Jr A+ "Aside from Sammy Watkins, there may not be a more explosive deep threat in the draft than Beckham Jr. He's extremely quick off the line, can stop and start with suddenness, tracks the ball, has rare body control and utilizes huge, soft hands to secure the ball off his frame. He's also one of the most talented return men in this class, and will be a dynamic contributor from day one in New York to complement Victor Cruz.

gmenroc Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I keep reading about his return ability. If he's returning anything, at all, at any point...I'll be pissed. Demps and Holiday...they're the returners...not our brand new WR. It'd be like a newly licensed driver taking a brand new shiny sports car on a 150 mph drive right off the car lot. Sure, it might come back in one piece, but probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I don't mind him returning kicks at all, if he's the best returner on the team, let him return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are looking for someone to take pressure off Cruz and give Eli an additional weapon that can change a game. No way they are going to have him getting his head taken off returning kicks.

gmenroc Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The image of Jason Sehorn still haunts me to this day. Yep. And I'll say it again...we brought in guys specifically for the purpose of returning kicks/punts. Getting Beckham in the return game is pointless.

Herc Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 holliday has 0 value if he isn't returning kicks. he'll be a wasted roster spot cuz he can't do anything else. besides, the guy is one of the best in football when he isn't fumbling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Beckham jr. is a good pick for us at 12. Not surprised at all Giants went with a WR, lets see what the rest of the week holds for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFire Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Maybe getting a WR was the right choice. Below is a return on value by position by round. The sweet spot for WR is where the Giants drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishgutmartyr Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I read somewhere that Beckham compared to Boldin. If that turns out to to be the case, I'm not going to complain. You know, without the whole knee thing early in the career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im still trying to figure out what it is saying... is it, shutdown DB's are easy to spot and should be grabbed early? Dont First round draft tackle or DEs?
