Big Blue Huddle

Has to be a real hidden gem to get excited about.  So far only high RAS and low mileage on legs and kickoff ability seem positive.

Jesus how about the Miami Dolphins drafting Jalen Wright out of Tennessee at RB.  Their RBs are Mostert, Achane and Wright and all can run under 4.4x 40 along with Hill and Waddle at WRs, also sub 4.4 guys as well.  They have a track team.

His RAS score alone is worth taking him in addition to the likely loss of Waller.  Great pick.

Still can use a RB.

If you value explosiveness and don't mind overstocking a position, why not take Troy Franklin out of Oregon as another WR.  Explosive piece.  If he's the best out there and if the Eagles were loaded up at WR, they'd still take him.  Can't have enough BPA pieces either.

Leonard Taylor going from five star recruit to not drafted yet has my head spinning as he seems like an interesting mid-round choicd plus fills a big need at DT.

Giants need more explosiveness at RB as they simply don't have it.  I'd love to see them pick up Wright to fill that need.

I don't see any TE worth drafting as none stand out as a hidden gem to me.  All are plodders.  Would they look to draft Johnny Wilson from Florida State and move him to a role as a pass catching TE?  That would seem interesting to me.  He's 6'6"  and moves well for that size.  He's only been catching a ball for a short while so some development needed but I like his foundation.

I read that the Giants do not want to play Mills at safety but to have him as a more versatile piece at CB.  That left only Pinnock and Belton so the need was obvious for safety.  Phillips drafted for primarily slot but also outside on occasion is as much about his physicality as it is about his versatility. 

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.

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 

Yeah that's a good point about DTs being picked clean.  Hope it's a very athletic TE so not Cade Stover.

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

I think we lost our shot at the best Day 1 starting Guards.  Zinter was the last.  My guess is they like their FA signings.

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

I feel like they may take a guard now

I guess his pursuit speed is the ding on him.  Said if a CB loses his guy, Nubin may not get there quickly enough to cover him.

His instincts are off the charts.  Saban loved him.

Safeties will be there at 47 I think

Trading back from 47 does not feel good.

Great idea.  Would be worth taking the call if the Pats.  Surround Maye with some NFL proven players.

Good suggested players to get.
