Quote from: MightyGiants on April 25, 2025, 09:56:47 PMWe got 2 out of 3 picks from @UKGiantsFan board

Yep and my boards only include players I have watched, liked, and thought would be a good fit not everyone we're known to be linked to, otherwise I'd be 3 for 3 . Don't worry though,
I'm about to become Jackson Dart's biggest fan

With my eyes firmly fixed on pick 105, Ollie Gordon II stands out as the lone player I think can become an above average/good starter left on my board. The Giants have always had a successful big back - a horse as I like to call them! - on their teams, and he's certainly that! Nothing breaks the wills and hearts of defensive players more than being carried for extra yardage or trampled in the open field 

At positions of need, I still have some guys who I think can become solid/lower-end starters in the NFL, but not many!

G Miles Frazier - a NJ kid - is really the last guy I could see winning a starting spot on the OL.

I have reservations over selecting Marcus Mbow as he professed at his Pro Day that he's a T, and he'd really need to buy into playing RG for us to make use of him this year. Still a good T prospect though, but we like our T's a lot taller!

I wouldn't rule out a double-dip at IDL as both Joshua Farmer and Ty Robinson have a lot of experience playing 4T & 5T and I am still holding out hope that the Giants don't see Roy Robertson-Harris as a starter!

At RB, if not going with Gordon,  either Tajh Brooks or Cam Skattebo will fit the bill. I'd far prefer the former as his pass blocking and receiving skills could see him fill an immediate role on 3rd down, but there's something about the violence of a Skattebo run that is infectious and would get the crowd going that also appeals.

I am thinking RB at 4, but Oline works.   If NYG goes for another DT, I want a big body

Which RB's do you like at 105, Rich? Anyone not on my board at all or that I have as more of a rotation guy take your fancy?

I like Martinez

I have him lower simply because I don't trust his pass blocking or receiving skills. Great runner though!

Martinez had one of the best lines in a report that I saw: "He can't catch a bus but you can ride him to the end zone" which pretty much sums him up.

After a great line like that, I would have to draft him
