NFL Draft is a month out and I still have no Idea who we're looking at?

Ok, so where do you guys think we go in the draft this year? This is the first time I've not had any clue since we drafted Everrett Brown(not a good draft either).  Last year we knew there was 3-4 people we were looking at and everyone and their Grandma knew we would pick Star if he landed in our lap which he did.

 

So where do you think we will go this year WR? OL? or another suprise possition Pick? and who do you feel will be this years "Star".

 

I honestly feel we need to go WR, but as far as who I dont have a clue.

1. Cooks

2. Kouandjio

3. Fuller

 

In that order if available.  And while a legit argument could be made that none will be available, IMHO at least one will be, and I think it will be Cyrus, who has the highest upside of all.

There is a pretty extensive list in the Draft section of the board that lists all players we have met with and worked-out thus far. It paints a pretty good picture on what positions and players we have been targeting. Worth a look for sure. 

 

Thanks for the heads up, according to that list though Ebron is the only player we've taken a second look at so far, I would be happy with him.  I've said earlier I wouldnt mind a 2 TE set because of the mis-match it would create.

BPA! Simple as that as don't lock in on one position even one where we don't need a player at, The Giants were known for drafting players in positions which were already strong and I see that as Gettlemans philosophy!

 

They will probably go BPA based on possition of need, you dont draft another star QB just because he's the best player on the Board.

I actually have no idea. I think that this year there is a lot of homework being done because the draft is so deep. In previous years, there was a sure fire, "yeah-we-would-take-that-player" scenario, but now? Who knows. There's about eight prospects I'd be fine if we got.

As stated in another thread, my "Star" players for this draft are Marquise Lee and Taylor Lewan.  They're the guys I would LOVE to fall to us (and it's not outside the realm of possibility for it to happen).  More realistic options I hope we're looking hard at, in order:  OBJ, Benjamin, Jordan Matthews, Cooks.  I'm not sold on Zach Martin but most say the value would be there at #28.  I just don't see him as an NFL LT.  I could easily be wrong, but he'd be the only OL that could likely be available for us that I wouldn't scoff at with Greg Robinson, Jake Matthews and Taylor Lewan likely gone.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
