Fun? This looks like an exam.
I want Parsons, or Slater. I know a lot of talk about Parsons not being there at 11. I don’t buy it, I think he will be there sitting right for the taking at our spot. The question is, will the Giants pull the trigger?
As for surprises? Not sure, there is always a team that defies logic. And it’s normally a team, that is a perennial loser. I could see one team reaching for a quarterback.

That would be the Giants Bob.. 

[GameTime]

An OL pick will have a comfort factor

A Parsons pick will have the excitement for the D but leave thinking the NYGs offense scored 18.5 points per game last season.

A Smith pick will be bar far the most exciting and then I will be wondering where they will get their OL and D help in the rest of the draft.

Ladies & Gents,



Congratulations! We've made it to Day 1 of the draft. For fun, feel free to answer the questions below.



Top 3 Hopes (No rules):

1-Lawrence
2-Pitts
3-Chase



Top 3 Hopes (Realistic):


1-Waddle

2-Smith

3-about a dozen guys


Favorite:

OL-Jenkins
WR-Chase
CB-Toss up Surtain and Horn
LB-Collins
Edge-Phillips


Would you rather (no other choice):

D. Smith vs. Waddle - Waddle
Slater vs. Sewell - Sewell
Horn vs. Surtain vs. FInley - Toss up Surtain & Horn
Paye vs. Ojulari vs. Phillips - Phillips
Parsons vs. Collins vs. J-O-K - Collins
OL vs. WR - Depends on the players there, but I think generally speaking OL is a more important position than WR.
Edge vs. CB - Depends on the players there, but I think we are more likely to find a better player at CB than ER at 11.
Offense vs. Defense - Depends on the players there, with needs everywhere really could go either way here
Stay at 11 vs. Trade Down to 15+ - Depends on the players there.  If either Waddle or Smith are there I am taking one of them.  If not trade down as there are about a dozen other guys I like fairly equally.


Surprises (Reaches, players falling, predictions....)


With watching the draft for as long as I have, I don't think there is anything that could happen that would really surprise me.  At best I could say that it is unexpected.



I think the biggest surprise would be Lawrence not going #1.  Even that wouldn't be particularly surprising, just unexpected.

Man I hope you are right.  I don't have him getting past Carolina

They traded for Sam Darnold. What better way to get your newly acquired quarterback comfortable in his new surroundings. Then by drafting a stout offensive lineman. Slater or Sewell would be ideal for them.

That makes sense, but I have the Falcons and Bengals taking them before the Panthers.

I see the Bengals taking Ja'Marr Chase. Joe Burrow needs play makers. That leaves Sewell and Slater. I think Sewell goes before Slater. To who? Not sure. Panthers need offensive line help bad. Darnold got used and abused with the Jets. So much, he saw ghosts. Kid, needs protection to see if he can reach his potential.

I think Carolina goes OL as well.  If someone takes Parsons in the top 10 I think Denver is the most likely.  Though I think he will still be on the board at 11.

Top 3 Hopes (No rules):


1) Trevor Lawrence
2) Kyle Pitts
3) Jamar Chase






Top 3 Hopes (Realistic):



1) DaVonta Smith

2) Jaylen Waddle

3) Rashawn Slater


Favorite:

OL - Rashawn Slater
WR - Jamar Chase
CB - Jaycee Horn
LB - Micah Parsons
Edge - Jaelen Phillips


Would you rather (no other choice):

D. Smith vs. Waddle - Smith
Slater vs. Sewell - Sewell
Horn vs. Surtain vs. FInley - Horn
Paye vs. Ojulari vs. Phillips - Phillips
Parsons vs. Collins vs. J-O-K - Parsons
OL vs. WR - WR
Edge vs. CB - CB
Offense vs. Defense - Offense
Stay at 11 vs. Trade Down to 15+ - Depends on who is available


Surprises (Reaches, players falling, predictions....)




The Giants surprisingly get their choice of Sewell/Slater/Smith/Waddle and they trade back only to not have any of them available at 15.

That’s my dark horse team. If Parsons goes, it will be to Denver. However, Denver has some good linebackers on the roster. With Alexander Johnson, Josey Jewell, Bradley Chubb and Von Miller. Would they add another talented linebacker to an already good unit? Not sure. If the Broncos don’t go Parsons, they might grab one of the corners. Jaycee Horn or Patrick Surtain Jr.

I could see the Broncos going CB, QB, Paye or Parsons.  I don't think they will go WR or OL.  But who the hell knows really, if there is one thing you can expect from every NFL draft is unexpected things will happen.

Way to poop the party bro!    With months of going back and forth, I'm curious to see where everyone landed with their final opinions.  

Agreed with Parsons.  I think he's there for the taking if we want him.  One of my surprises is he actually falls out of the 1st round due to everything off the field.  That might be a bit extreme, but I can definitely see him sliding.  

[te88]

Want Smith

Would be happy with Waddle but I think he goes in the top 10

I think both top 2 OL are gone in the top 10

Happy with Horn or Surtain

Happy with Parsons but who knows if they have him on the round 1 board.

Don’t draft an edge rusher before pick 20.

If they trade back I would consider a receiver like Bateman

Need to come out of the draft with serious upgrades on O.

[piddy283]

Top 3 Hopes (No rules):

Top 3 Hopes (Realistic):

I am the party. I got enough drugs to take down Andy Dick. In Parsons we trust. Kid is going to be a player. Unless we draft Richard Head from Booger Hole, West Virginia. I’ll be happy whomever they pick. Not a cornerback though..

[hadenough]

The top 3 I think would most help the Giants are:

1. Phillips
2. Zaven Collins
3. Leatherwood (T ability but will likely be a dominating guard)

Where these guys could be or would be drafted could be debated....but as far as what they bring to the table...the Giants could use any of them.

I think the Giants offensive skill players and secondary are their strongest units. I wouldn't add to them when there are other solid players in areas you need help.

[IrishMike]

Top 3 Hopes (No rules):

Devonta Smith round 1

Micah Parsons falls to us in round 2

Wyatt Davis falls to us in round 3

Top 3 Hopes (Realistic):

Playmaker WR in first two rounds

OL help someplace in draft

Pass rush help someplace in draft

Favorite:
WR - this year
LB - usually

Would you rather (no other choice):

D. Smith vs. Waddle
Slater vs. Sewell
Horn vs. Surtain vs. FInley
Paye vs. Ojulari vs. Phillips - heard something about his knee though so not sure
Parsons vs. Collins vs. J-O-K
OL vs. WR
Edge vs. CB - CB at 11, edge is tradeback/later round
Offense vs. Defense
Stay at 11 vs. Trade Down to 15+


Surprises (Reaches, players falling, predictions....)
Fields goes #2

[McCherry]

Just take the WR. Either one.

But I’m not going to lose sleep mover any player we draft today.

[BlueReign]

I'm hoping for Smith or Waddle but wouldn't be upset with Parsons. I wouldn't want any of these edge rushers at 11 though would be ok with one of them if we traded back.

[Kase1]

Top 3 Hopes (No rules):
-TE, Kyle Pitts, Florida

-OL, Penei Sewell, Oregon

-WR, DeVonta Smith/Ja'Marr Chase/Jaylen Waddle


Top 3 Hopes (Realistic):
-OL Rashawn Slater, Northwestern

-WR DeVonta Smith/Jaylen Waddle, Alabama

-OL AVT, USC


Favorite:
OL- Penei Sewell
WR- Kyle Pitts, LOL
CB- Jaycee Horn
LB, Zaven Collins
Edge- Joe Tryon/Pat Jones/Hamilcar Rashed/Quincy Roche


Would you rather (no other choice):

D. Smith vs. Waddle- Id LOVE either, but if I HAVE to choose......Waddle
Slater vs. Sewell- Sewell
Horn vs. Surtain vs. FInley- Horn
Paye vs. Ojulari vs. Phillips- YUCK, I GUESS Phillips
Parsons vs. Collins vs. J-O-K- Collins 
OL vs. WR- WR
Edge vs. CB- CB
Offense vs. Defense- OFFENSE
Stay at 11 vs. Trade Down to 15+- Not Sure


Surprises (Reaches, players falling, predictions....)

-We trade UP for Kyle Pitts

-Parsons falls out of the top 10
-5 QB's get taken in the top 10

They have Cam Erving and Taylor Morton as their OT's, I doubt they use the 8th overall pick for an OT

As much as I want Pitts, I REEEEEEAAAAAALLLLLLY  want Pitts, I cant see him making it past them.  They have a good and young WR corp, 2 good and young tackles, a good 4 man front, 2 good CBs...... MAYBE Micah Parsons, they could use him as a SLB and he would feast from that position

I think Carolina will go either Kyle Pitts or Micah Parsons in the 1st..... An outside chance at a CB

I could really see Denver going Parsons to put him in the middle.  I could also see them going with Paye, they need help on their DL and Paye would fit in there perfectly as a 3-4 DE.

While less likely in my eyes, I could ALSO see them going with a CB, even though they have 2 very good CBs on the better side of 30

Pick 11.. Smith/Waddle/Parsons/AVT/Horn/Slater.. any of those i'm happy.

[Kase1]

 While there are some 1st rounders I would prefer more than others, there are a TON of players Id be totally cool with broken down in tiers

Tier 1; Kyle Pitts

Tier 2; Penei Sewell

Tier 3; DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, Ja'Mar Chase

Tier 4; Rashawn Slater, Jaycee Horn, AVT, JOK, Tevin Jenkins, Rashod Bateman, Zaven Collins

Are we talking about the same Cam Erving who played in 6 games last year? Morton is a good player, but they still need upgrades on the line. They just invested into Sam Darnold. You have to start building a line in front of him. I would be surprised they don’t go in that direction.
