Sephiroth Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm not as into college/draft as a lot of you guys are, but the idea of the Giants taking Garrett Boles #1 really scares me. They had a Utah play-by-play guy on the Giants podcast the other day and let's just say, his review on Boles wasn't glowing. Basically he said he's a work in progress, would need to work a lot on his footwork, and has trouble with speed rushers. Plus he'll be 25 when the season starts. I don't think you take a 25 year old "project" with your number one pick... by the time he's gotten his game together he may only be a few years away from 30. Plus, the Giants need to win now. Doesn't sound like a good fit. Who are you guys scared of the Giants taking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Bolles is a good choice for who NOT to want. Mine is DT Malik McDowell. Great size, but that's all at this point. Boom or bust type player. Cam Robinson is a close 2nd. This draft really sucks for OL, which is disappointing since it's our biggest need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 McCaffrey or Cook Good players, but the Gints dont have the Oline for them at this point. If Ramcyzk(sp?) is off the board, I'm not a fan of any other OT in round one, Forrest I think is considered the next best and he looks like a Flowers 2.0.

Tempest Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Anyone at the QB position. I'm practically guaranteed to be happy with the first pick of the draft this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Agree on Bolles he has physicality, but like you said he's a developmental guy and 25 he may not hit his ceiling until 28. It's a bad DT class as well I don't want McDowell or Brantley. Honestly I am not a huge fan of Cunningham either he doesn't give much in terms of pass rush, has missed 34 tackles over his career and I think a lot of the tackle numbers are inflated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstarjim Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Lol speed rushers are what Bolles is best against. Has the best feet of any OL in this draft. Watch his game against Takk McKinley. He dominated him, and McKinley, an NFL ready speed rusher, couldn't get the edge on Bolles. Bolles is not a developmental guy. He's not going to be All-Pro as a rookie but he'll be pretty good early.

Pick a guy that age in the first round, he damn well better be a near pro bowler on day one, because there isn't time for him to develop much. Seriously, how is this guy 25 and just now breaking through? Did he fail a bunch of times in school or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Just a few recent.....Shockey-Barber-OBJ? Shockey and Barber were both drafted by EA lol and you couldnt really call either of them "head cases" OBJ you may have a point he seems to get into his own head more than the opponent.

Did any of them do anything but that? Barber was the only thing carrying the Gints during his playing years. Shockey was the best TE we've had in the past 20 years. And OBJ is the best WR the Gints have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, and I so hated the media talking about it all the time like he was 60% of the offense. fuck, other teams knew that too and NY would still just keep feeding him the ball and losing in the end. Yeah, OBJ is ....but nothing on the other side will always take away from that. he's still not good enough to take over a game. about the time he is, Eli starts with his shit of turning it over.
