[Bigblue25]

I wanted Artie Burns at 40

[Treehugger]

I hope there's a run on QBs early in the 1st. Browns, 49er's and Eagles are a good chance to go QB, maybe Chargers and Cowboys too if they're in love with someone.

[Nas]

I wanted Artie Burns at 40

I see us taking Leonard Floyd there.

[Mr. P]

I see us taking Leonard Floyd there.

That would be nice. He's now becoming the popular pick for us at 10.

[Nas]

That would be nice. He's now becoming the popular pick for us at 10.

I think he stays out of the first round and I think the Giants will shy away from taking a LB in the first... I see them going OT or DE... With the overwhelming expectation towards OT.... They're thinking settling the Oline for years to come....

[Bigblue25]

I see us taking Leonard Floyd there.

There's no way he's there at 40

[Bigblue25]

Floyd would be a DE in our scheme

[JMFP]

I see us getting whomever can do the most back flips.

[Nas]

There's no way he's there at 40

 

I think he will be. And yes he can be a hybrid DE/LB... right now he's built to be LB so maybe if he adds a few more lbs...

[Bigblue25]

DE/LB hybrid has not worked out well for the Giants

[Nas]

DE/LB hybrid has not worked out well for the Giants

 

but it can... think of the many times our DEs dropped in coverage... Nonetheless, I feel he'll be there for us in the 2nd round... I have a strong feeing we're going OT in the first (all things being equal) especially with all the money spent in FA on the defensive side of the ball... the temptation of a strong OL that will carry the team over the next 6... 7... 8... years etc. I see us taking Ronnie Stanley in the 1st. And no one will be mad at that.. not even Joe

[gmenroc]

If Stanley drops to 10, yeah, I can't complain about that pick. Not sure he will though. This draft class doesn't have the marquee QB or the widely renowned WR. I'm not saying that Wentz, Treadwell, or Goff won't go in the top 10. They might...but whether they're true top 10 talents is debated. Because there are questions, that makes the safe pick of the OT a little more safe than normal. As such, I wouldn't be surprised to see Stanley go before 10.

[Tempest]

I thank you for the list, will be a good reference over the coming weeks. Haven't been very interested in the draft this year unlike the previous ones. Still early I think or maybe just hoping we get one more need taken care of before then and shifting the focus of our first pick.

I would I don't want a RT with the tenth pick

[Nas]

I would I don't want a RT with the tenth pick

And I don't want a #2 wr:)

[Tempest]

I would I don't want a RT with the tenth pick

 

Then think of him as a LT if our current LT gets hurt.

 

See how easy that it is

 

[Allstarjim]

Donald Penn or Russell Okung will be our LT next year, Flowers will be going to the right side to be tackle in waiting.

[Allstarjim]

Defense, defense, defense.

[Nas]

Penn is too old and I really don't want Flowers to change spots....

I can't see them moving him then moving him back

[Allstarjim]

Watch it happen. Neither Okung nor Penn is going to the right side for a second year player unless he is a superstar, and Flowers has a ways to go. Both are very respected LT's and Penn still plays well, Nas. Not too old. Flowers will wait his turn and get additional seasoning like a good soldier.

In that case give me Stanley and just leave Flowers on the right and there's your duo for the next ten years. Penn is old and Okung is way overrated, he had one year where he was above average in pass protection and had a -7.2 run block rating according to PFF last year

[gmenroc]

There have been quite a few reports out of the Giants stating that Flowers is staying on the left side. Hell, that could be half the hang up of Okung not signing. He wants LT money where teams want him to play, and be paid as a, RT.

[Herc]

Sounds about right
