Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on Today at 12:18:17 AMCade Stover had the highest pass block rating of any TE in college...basically an extra offensive lineman. But we picked up two "block only" type TEs in FA, so probably won't happen. I think they like Theo, but your guess is as good as mine. Personally, if there is a RB they really like, they probably ought to get him because he won't be there in round 5...most likely

I want more of an Isaiah Likely.

Jaylen Wright would be someone I'd like.

Personally, I'd be pretty happy with DT Mekki Wingo. He's undersized for DT3, but he's a ball of muscle who plays like the cartoon character, the Tasmanian Devil

Surprised CB TJ Tampa is still on the board...go figure 

Quote from: Philosophers on Today at 12:14:56 AMYeah that's a good point about DTs being picked clean.  Hope it's a very athletic TE so not Cade Stover.

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on Today at 12:05:39 AMI think they might be looking at TEs. They brought in Theo Johnson (the only TE) for a visit. They also brought in RB Trey Benson (the only RB), but he's gone. DT's have been picked clean except for Gabe Hall. We're on the clock tomorrow with the 6th pick, I expect it could be TE Theo Johnson or TE Cade Stover, DT3 Gabe Hall, or maybe one of the RBs Jaylen Wright, Braelen Allen, or Ray Davis

So do folks here like the 2nd and 3rd round picks?

Giants have 3 picks left (barring trades) 7 (107th overall), Pick 31 (166th overall), Pick 7 (183rd overall)

Looks like DT and RB are their holes they may focus on.

Quote from: madbadger on April 26, 2024, 11:05:34 PMIt isn't. I love Nubin pick. Wished they had taken one of the top three running backs and Corum was still on the board. It's probably more of a reaction at knowing our offense is going to painful to watch again.

Whether you like it or not, they have Gray from last year's draft and signed Devin Singletary. It's a low draft value position and they--at least in their minds--have it filled barring some unforeseen circumstance. Also, if this re-build is longer than one offseason (which it assuredly is), there is next year's draft. Yes, 2024 may be painful... but was there a way to fix that in one draft cycle? I'm not positive that spending a premium pick on a RB would have accomplished a legitimate goal.

OK, this is one of those guys who does not look like a football player. Doesn't pass the eye test.

Everything about him seems out-of-whack and just plain wrong... until the ball is snapped.

Super instincts and blitz timing, outstanding vision while the ball is in the air (which allows him to anticipate very well and consistently locate himself right where the ball comes down... again and again. A play-maker.
