Huh. The ODB Stories are Persisting.

Still think it’s bullshit though. Two 1st round picks for a guy who will likely get hurt and miss 6 games? Pass. He brings a lot of talent to the table, but he also brings a shit-ton of garbage.  News to me is the fact that Seattle is in the race to get him, and they are, according to Jason LaCanfora.

Shanny has already said that he doesn’t need a ‘Julio Jones type’ guy, but everyone in the league seems to think ODB’s a perfect fit here. I get it, I just don’t think he’s worth what he thinks he is. Or what the Giants think he’s worth.

My only thought is that John Lynch is trying to drive up the asking price for the Rams and Seahawks. I like Lynch being aggressive, but this one isn’t a good thing. I’d rather draft a guy than go after Ol’ Dirty Beckham.

    I’m so glad we don’t need a QB in this year’s draft. I don’t think any of them are as good as Trubisky or Watson from last year. Trubisky was so much better and polished looking than any of these guys it is ridiculous. Watson was as good of a big game QB as we have seen in a long time.

    We were so lucky to get Groppo I can’t believe it. He is better than even Trubisky or Watson. The football Gods gave us a break!

  3. Berger's avatar Berger says:

    I’m so all over the board for our first pick. I think as long as it isn’t a WR or a QB I’ll be good with the pick. My preference is to trade back 3 to 5 picks. I’m thinking Will Hernandez but there will still be much to choose from at that spot. That pass rusher from UTSA looks good.

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      Moving back seems to make the most sense to me also. Working in a lower rd 2 spot would be really helpful. Since we are in the middle of core building getting the most low rd picks is the way to go. That is of course unless the FO is totally in love with someone at 9.

  4. Rob's avatar Robert De Luca says:

    Chubb , Edmonds , Nelson or trade back !

  5. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    One of those 3, likely Edmunds, will be there.

    God I love it when we beat the stinking Dodgers that way

    That was freaking awesome. 12 pitch AB and 9 fouls. Welcome to the GIants,Andrew McCutchen.

    • Nipper's avatar Nipper says:

      That was a epic AB for sure. I sure hope he has a big year for the Giants. Power sure makes the difference.

    Anyone watching the Masters? This is insane. Mickelson with his driver on the fairway.

    The real (maybe) intrigue will involve the NYG at 2 –
    If they stick, I see Nelson or Barkley going there (if they opt to pass on the QB)
    Kinda hoping they DO pass on the QB so the interest levels rise for Teams seeking one.

    If NYG leave Barkley, Cleveland might be in line to grab him at 4. Otherwise, they steal another position like Chubb.
    We’re expecting NYJ to go QB at 3, Denver then has to decide on a QB (or possibly Chubb).
    I think our biggest obstacle comes at 6 with Indy.
    IMO, they’re the most likely to deal down for extra Picks.
    Especially if Nelson and Chubb are gone.
    I’m not expecting to see Nelson or Chubb at 9 no matter what happens.

    Holding out hope that Minkah lands in our lap, if he gets past TB and Chicago.
    If he’s off the Board, I’m hoping there’s a QB someone covets enough to offer us a deal.
    Not sold on CB DWard that high personally. There’s so much depth in this DB Class that I think there’s serviceable options beyond RD1.

    Either way, we’ll get someone worthwhile at 9 if we stand pat.
    Edmunds/Davenport are young and will need time but, I think they stand the best chance to start in rotational situations given the Vets we have in place.
    Fat Man in the Middle (Vea) is always a solid building block too. He, or Da’Ron Payne wouldn’t kill me.

    If Mayfield survives until 9, I’m seeing reports that Bill has interest.
    Not so sure I’d want to fall back to 23 however.
    Be nice if Miami had interest in Mayfield and, would cough up 11 & 42 to get him.
    It would piss off Bill if we put Mayfield in South Beach but…….That’s business.

    Looking forward to the RD1 FUN 😀

    Here’s the possibilities I’d consider if the opportunity arises –
    From the accepted ‘Trade Values Chart’ –
    Future 1 = 1000 Future 2 = 420 Future 3 = 190 Future 4 = 70

    Current Picks –
    9ers 9 = 1350 / 59 = 310 = 1660
    Miami 11 = 1250 / 42 = 480 = 1730 (we get 11&42 – Give back a Future 4 = Dead on DEAL)
    Buffalo 12 = 1200 / 56 = 340 / 96 = 116 = 1656 (we get 12,56 & 96 – Close enough)
    Pats 23 = 760 / 31 = 600 = 1360 (we get 23&31 straight up for Pick 9 – While keeping 59)

    Gotta hope NYG, Cleveland, or Indy, doesn’t sell out of Slots 2,4 or 6 for these scenarios to work –
    We need the QBs to slide past Denver.
    Hoping Barkley/Nelson & Chubb eat those slots.
    Need NYJ to go QB too.
    Indy shouldn’t be seeking a QB – Which gives them first shot at dealing with someone who does.
    So many variables of course….No way to know until it happens.
    If QBs go 1,2,3,5 it gets dicey, unless Mayfield remains until 9 and, his services are in demand.
    Cleveland goes QB, at either 1 or 4, if they’re fearful of losing out on Barkley to NYG.
    Leave it to McCloughan to snatch Mayfield for Cleveland too.

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      This really should be one of the more interesting drafts. It really could be a feeding frenzy for QB’s. It wouldn’t surprise me to see all 5 of em gone by 9. No matter what scenario plays out we should be in a position to trade back with someone or pick a top rated player.

  11. Nipper's avatar Nipper says:

    One of the so-called “experts” feels that the USC QB is the best QB in the draft. To me all of them have risks of being a productive QB at the NFL level. What are your thoughts?

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      I honestly don’t know. What I do know is that many USC and UCLA QB’s flop in the NFL. If I was to pick one I would go Allen 1st or Mayfield if Allen was gone.

  12. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    GIants need a QB above all else.

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    What i think happens is the browns go Barkley at 1 and Josh Allen at 4. Thats is their best bet.

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      That is possible. It depends on how bad they want Allen. I don’t think he will make it to 4.

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    One of the 3 QBs will make it to 4 if they take Barlkley first. It’s a no-brainer.

  15. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Mayfield smacks of Manziel. I didn’t see enough of him though.

    • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

      That’s the rub with Mayfield Chuck. He’s extremely straight forward, undersized as well.
      One thing no one disputes is his passion to win.

      I’ve read that McCloughan is all in on him too, which puts the thought in my head, that Cleveland could wait until 4 to get him.
      Putting them in the position to secure Barkley at 1 rather than run the risk of losing him to the NYG.
      Gonna be fun to see what unfolds but, I’m not completely sold on the NYG taking the QB at 2.
      I’m willing to bet they’d have interest in Barkley, however, if gone, Nelson, (possibly Chubb) would be my next guesses. Chubb became an option with the recently completed deal to send JPP to TB.

  16. NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

    Berger I’m high on Hernandez as well. He’s not Pick 9-worthy IMO and, could be gone if we slide back too far in RD1.
    I’ll offer you a consolation if we miss Hernandez.

    From my List – Here’s a comparison to illustrate my thinking –

    Will Hernandez, OG, U.T.E.P. Ht: 6-2 Wt: 327 40-Time: 5.15 (1.76 Split) (37 Reps) – https://tinyurl.com/ycnzd24f

    Skyler Phillips, OG, Idaho St. Ht: 6-3 Wt: 324 40-Time: 5.10 (1.76 Split) (7.95 Cone) – https://tinyurl.com/yccxw54m

    And, a guy from your neck of the woods that made ‘final cuts’ for me –

    Austin Corbett, OG, Nevada Ht: 6-4 Wt: 306 40-Time: 5.15 (1.76 Split) (19 Reps) – https://tinyurl.com/yax52q93

    A number all these guys had in common, was in the Shuttle run. Changing directions.
    Hernandez – 4.70
    Phillips – 4.69
    Corbett – 4.50

    Their Splits were all identical as you can see also.
    Stack them against Quenton Nelson – His Shuttle was 4.62

    Above all, OGs need the ‘Nasty’ ingredient. Nelson has that in spades.

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    I’ve liked trading down for Hernandez for a while now.

  18. NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

    Got this guy as a potential OT to OG conversion too –
    Moved very well at the Senior Bowl IMO – Very mobile guy, probably a tad too short to play OT at the Pro Level?

    Joseph Noteboom, OT, (OG) T.C.U. Ht: 6-5 Wt: 309 40-Time: 4.96 (1.72 Split)
    (7.65 Cone) (35 Reps) – https://tinyurl.com/yc9k9fk2

    Excellent Shuttle time of 4.44 – Good arm length of 34-3/8″ as well –
