this is really turning out to be an all-offense draft. I wonder how far down the board before a defensive player is picked
#2
Nabers  :ok:   =D>  =D>  =D>
#3
JJ or no.1 WR...tick, tock, tick, tock..... :crazy:
#4
the pressure is intense  :ohno:

I have picture in picture on my TV, so I'll have the Knicks on with the draft going on in the small picture. I can flip them back and forth with a button and when the Giants are on the clock (or a pick is in), I'll make that my big picture. It'll suck if it's the last minute of the game and the Giants pick is coming in. In that case...gotta go with the draft

I think the Sixers take game 3 tonight unless Brunson plays like Brunson. Philadelphia will play angry tonight, and it could get rough...well, even rougher than usual. They've already been very physical, containing Brunson, and it wouldn't surprise me if they try to get him out with an injury. Their whole strategy has been to stop Brunson and he's dogged from the second he's on the court

Going beyond QB vs. WR discussion in first round, is there a couple of players you really have your eye on and hoping we draft tomorrow and Saturday? One choice, a day 2 pick, and one choice, a day 3 pick (can add a sleeper pick)

For me:

Day 2: LB Payton Wilson (NC State)

Day 3: OG Zak Zinter (Michigan)...

(Sleeper pick) if we don't get Zinter, OG/swing-T Walter Rouse (Oklahoma)

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 08:46:23 AMThere will certainly be plenty of fuel for the glass-half-empty types.  The Giants are likely to pick either one of the two most polarizing QB prospects or neglect the QB issue and draft a WR (albeit a very promising prospect)

I'm just glad we're in position to make that choice. Hate being bad enough to be drafting at no.6, but it beats the hell out of drafting at 17 or 21. The most fun IMHO, is in the top 6 picks this year

Now that I posted it, I see a great big error and will correct it... :doh:

I put this together this morning to show the utter disparity between six reputable analysts/services that rank the top 20 players with an emphasis on QBs vs. WRs

Two things stick out to me: 1) Walter Football doesn't follow the crowd, and 2) JJ doesn't get as much love as I thought he would




[FIXED...duh]

Article in this morning's NY Post

The opening statement sounds about right..."The NFL should hire an auctioneer to take commissioner Roger Goodell's place on stage this year..." LOL

Welcome, Uncle Mickey, glad to have you aboard the best Giants' message board on the net...where intelligent people gather to share their well-thought-out opinions
#13
The artical just below the one you posted is also interesting. It's Daniel Jeremiah's top 150. His top of the draft:

1) QB Caleb Williams
2) WR Marvin Harrison
3) WR Rome Odunze
4) WR Malik Nabors

5) QB Drake Maye
6) QB Jayden Daniels
7) TE Brock Bowers
8) OT Joe Alt
9) CB Terrion Arnold
10) OT Taliese Fuaga

20) QB JJ McCarthy

I don't think I've ever seen 3 WRs, listed in the top 4 picks in the draft...not in my lifetime

If we go QB, DeVito will be cut. That includes taking Penix or Nix in the second, or Rattler in the third, or a flyer late. The order will be DJ starter, Lock backup, new QB (insert name here). They are not about to hand the keys to the Giants fortunes to a rookie. Furthermore, we have a shot at one of the three WRs who are the best in recent memory, and there's no chatter at all about upcoming classes in the college ranks. Unlike Harrison, who has been touted since he started college ball, and the other two who have been oft mentioned throughout their career as Uber-talented, "once in a lifetime" type WRs. We might not get a another shot at a no.1 WR for quite some time

Just thinking out loud as a fan and not a professional analyst working for a team. Heavy decisions await Schoen tomorrow. I will be sitting on the edge of the couch with bated breath...would be chewing my nails if I was a nail biter  :ohno:

Quote from: Philosophers on April 24, 2024, 01:29:08 PMThanks for your thoughts.  I am kost interested in seeing the voting between QB vs WR.  How interested is this board in these QBs versus these WRs?

My problem with Maye (and I know I could be completely out to lunch), is that I like that he is tall and cerebral. But he doesn't have a lot of "good tape" on him from all I've read, and he's not ever going to be a threat to run as he's not considered a mobile QB...hence, requires superb protection and precision route running by his receivers
