Why trade a former 1st round pick(32) who knows the system and can play two positions for a talented but UNPROVEN rookie? I would be ok drafting Hightower to add to what we have.

Good question

I don't like that the Giants have two players, Kiwi and Osi both having their contracts expiring after the season.    Drafting a replacement and trading away the player they replace would serve a couple of purposes.

1)  Would reduce the Giants salary cap number
2)  Would eliminate to similar players having contracts coming due at the same time
3) Would give the Giants an extra pick to fill the many areas of need (WR, TE, OT and RB)

So many H-back types.  Where are the true TEs?

Based on what you said about Hightower, he sounds like a younger version of Kiwi.   If the Giants drafted him, I would want the team to try and trade Kiwi and pick up an extra high pick to meet other team needs (WR, RB, OT and TE)

MG, how high of a pick do you think you could get for Kiwi?

Kiwi proved his health is back.  So I am thinking he should fetch a low 2nd rounder high 3rd rounder.   I think Kiwi would be a good fist as the rush backer in a 3-4 defense or an end in a 4-3.

Welcome aboard JJ and nb587!

Another outstanding job Ceri!  Well done

Good job Ceri.  Andrews is a free agent though.  He was placed on IR but he only had a one year deal.

Good work Ceri.  I had Wolfe in my Giants Mock draft (rnd 4) do you have thoughts on him?

Yes, I think he's one of the lighter, more athletic DT's who will be converted to 3-4 DE. I therefore can't see him appealing to us.

Ceri,

Could he be another Canty?

Welcome Silvio and welcome back Dennis.

Welcome aboard Dan, I think you will find we have a couple of other members from the UK as well.

Ceri,

While trading down makes sense for the Giants, the other question who does it make sense trading up?  I would think most teams would be in a similar position as the Giants and not inclined to move up.   In the past most trades in this area tend to involve a team moving up to draft a QB so they can say they got their first round QB (there seems to be a stigma if you grab your QB in the second round). 

Good job Brian

Here is another way to see the board.  This is outstanding work.  This is the sort of board NFL war rooms use to plan draft strategy and figure out where a position is deep the draft.  Plus it better illustrates value when you talk best athlete available.  At any given time there is a good chance multiple players in the same slot will be there for the taking

I look at this thread and absolutely nothing positive came from it.  I unlocked it and even worse comments were made.  So locked it shall stay.
