Big Blue Huddle

A good article, especially like the prospects on both sides of the line

Josiah Stewart was the most consistent pass rusher on Michigan.  He is short at 6'1".  If he were 6'4" he'd be a top 20 draftee.

RJ Harvey has been my fav RB post round 2 however he is so small that his pass blocking is really not good.  Overlook that and he screams explosiveness.

Here are mine with caveat that my picks may either be a round 2 bargain or round 3 bargain IMHO.

WR - Tai Felton - Maryland
TE - Elijah Arroyo - Miami
OT - Ozzy Trapillo - Boston College
G - Donovan Jackson - Ohio State
C - Jared Wilson - Georgia
RB - RJ Harvey - UCF
QB - Jalen Milroe - Alabama

Edge - Shemar Stewart - A&M
DT - Darius Alexander - Toledo
NT - Ty Robinson - Nebraska
OLB - Josiah Stewart - Michigan
ILB - Carson Schwesinger - UCLA
CB - Trey Amos - Miss
S - Malachi Moore - Alabama

On the blue chart, the players on the far right are more desirable (obviously), as their chances of being available are next to nil. And if Tyler Booker is there, the Giants should run to the podium and announce him as their pick...IMO

Booker will be the cornerstone of some team's inside offensive line for the next decade

Also, after reading multiple analyses of Grey Zabel, I am confused as to why he is so highly rated. He appears to me, to be a project offensive lineman. He comes from small school North Dakota State, and virtually every year there is some player from that school gets rated as a top candidate, possibly 1st round, only to get drafted and never heard about again. Last year it was Cody Mauch

Ric,

Didn't Grey play well at the Senior Bowl?  Before NIL, that was a big part of the Senior Bowl-  letting scouts see how small school prospects fair against real competition

I want one of those big DT studs in round two, someone to pair with Dexi.

I'd love to see Hunter in the first round and maybe Kenneth Grant in the second.  With Adebo, Hunter, Holland, Nubin and Phillips in the secondary, and some help for Dexi up front, we'd have the makings of an elite Defense.

I would also be okay with a projected O-line starter or an edge rusher (if the Giants don't draft Carter)

This is a deep DT class.  There will be talent in round 3 as well.

Yes. And like last year when the redheaded hillbilly Mauch, he was the talk of the senior bowl
