Jerry Jeudy or Andrew Thomas

[Deleted]

We end up at pick 5-8

Somehow, after Chase Young, and a run on QB's and maybe a surprise pick or two...the Giants are left with these two.

The sexy, fantasy pick...poster boy, TD maker, big play superstar...the player we see on sports canter every night, and the name called over and over in talk shows until we all know who it is...vs the guy who blocks well on the blind spot

We know where i am going....

Would love to hear most poster opinions, and why.

Seems like it's pretty easy to predict what Gettleman would do if he has the choice between equally ranked OT and WR....

Me personally, Thomas. I love Jeudy though so it would be tough to pass on him. Build the trenches though. OT is a huge need.

This is very simple GM 101
Your good GMs that historically hit well into day 3 of their drafts will do this.
One of the ways they stack their boards is by depth of talent at a position to assign a value.
This year WR and corner are going to be very deep and as usual OTs are an endangered species that will be overdrafted and picked clean a round earlier than it should.
So I'm sitting here right now
2 blue chip players that in itself would be BPA players no matter what.
I see Thomas,Wirfs (I've yet to see him have a bad game though there are rumblings he isnt playing that well lately)..and I see the next group that would be big reaches in the 1st round

Then I see Jeudy,..then Lamb(who I argue is as good as Jeudy),Ruggs,Higgins..
Then Reagor with a 2nd round grade,with probably KJ Hill,Jefferson(LSU) and Peoples Jones also moving into day 2 value that would be perfect dynamic guys for Shurmer's system

No brainer
Thomas in the first
Reagor in the 2nd and we have our Tyreek Hill guy.

Unfortunately I think this will be all moot because there are an extraordinary amount of really bad teams this year,and we play 3 of them(Washington again,Miami and the Jets)
Not to mention i think the team is going to grow and improve and be playing good football after the bye where I think we will be in the picks 10-15 range..n

At this point in time, I am FULLY on board with Andrew Thomas in the 1st round. He could step in day 1 and become our left tackle for years to come. He has been playing against top talent in the SEC from his freshman year and performing ever since. Dude is 1 of the most complete OTs to come out in the past few years.

..Then again, I would be totally fine with Jeudy, kid is a total star and would give us a weapon we havent had since Odell. But Im MORE of a Thomas fan

See my post above for reasoning why Thomas.
Jeudy wound be the ultimate consolation prize...and like I said Lamb,Ruggs and even Reagor could give us Odell type play
I watched Peeples Jones make some insane plays vs Notre Dame in shit conditions.
I think everyone knows how I feel about needing a dynamic X factor guy.
We can get a guy like this early day 2
We get a project with high upside at tackle early day 2 if we pass on Thomas

Andrew Thomas

You ask the prospect making machine to create an offensive tackle and they come out looking like Thomas. Thick frame with very little bad weight and long arms. Mobility stands out, especially his short area quickness. Springy footwork when challenged with wide, speed rushers. Does such a great job framing rushers in space and setting up road blocks up the arc. Has terrific length and he knows how to maximize it. Wonderful job of playing with extension and winning with first contact. Does well to place and fit his hands. Timing and location of his punch is precise. Delivers powerful punches that stun pads. Easily absorbs power and sets a sturdy anchor. Pocket width won’t be compromised in pass protection. Brings the fight in pass protection and has experience executing a variety of sets. Love how he rolls his hips into contact as a drive blocker. Outstanding power throughout his frame. Executes with good leverage, posture and body control. Has started every game across his first two seasons in Athens. Experienced executing pro concepts and techniques.

What an absolute juggernaut Thomas is -- he'll beat the pants off of whomever is lined up across from him. He's successfully pushed around some of the best defenders in the SEC over his two years as a starter and he shined bright in 2018 at Left Tackle, tacking over for Isaiah Wynn. Thomas has powerful hands and an even more potent anchor, once he drops his hips and sets his base, it is game over. I don't think I saw him get collapsed once in pure one on one situations in any of the games I watched. He uses his hands effectively well to force extra steps from defenders and utilizes a powerful club to push the upfield in quick game.

Massive and wide body frame. Possessing a true bruising downhill type of mindset, he’s at his best when allowed to overwhelm stationary or still targets. Is able to fire out of his stance and transition his movements into power. Heavy hands and punch enable him to latch onto down defenders in order to stall their process immediately. Has lots of many quick victories in that he quickly cancels out rush moves because of his brute strength, which forces his feet to go dead. When feeling threatened, he’s able to nail his feet into the ground as pillars to prevent ensuing pressure. Possessing a thick lower half, he uses it to his advantage by gathering momentum out of his stance to generate upward force in order pave running lanes on down blocks.

Pre-snap, Thomas keep his eyes and head on a swivel to stay alert of late appearing targets that may signal edge pressure or blitzes of sorts. One of his best traits is being able to recognize tight techniques head up-to-inside of his shoulder that signify twists or stunts. Once seeing the defender crashing inside, he gives a hard push to their desired path and patiently awaits the impending looper from the opposite direction. He not only prepares himself for the action, but also the guard opposite of him.
