Consensus Mock Draft - Post Combine - Pick 17 - New York Giants

[goldfishwars]

Going to adopt the "1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice" method. Meaning your first choice is worth 3 points, 2nd is worth 2, and 3rd is worth 1. Please do not select the same player multiple times in one selection. If you do, only the highest value will be taken for that and the lower duplicate votes will be discounted.

1. Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray, QB - Oklahoma

2. San Francisco 49ers: Nick Bosa, EDGE - Ohio State

3. New York Jets: Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama

4. Oakland Raiders: Josh Allen, EDGE - Kentucky

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Devin White, LB - LSU

6. New York Giants: Dwayne Haskins, QB - Ohio State

7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jawaan Taylor, OT - Florida

8. Detroit Lions: Montez Sweat, DE - Mississippi State

9. Buffalo Bills: Ed Oliver, DT, Houston

10. Denver Broncos: Drew Lock, QB - Missouri

11. Cincinnati Bengals: Devin Bush, LB - Michigan

12. Green Bay Packers: Brian Burns, EDGE - Florida State

13. Miami Dolphins: Rashan Gary, DL - Michigan

14. Atlanta Falcons - Christian Wilkins, DT - Clemson

15. Washington Redskins - Greedy Wiliams, CB - LSU

16. Carolina Panthers - Clellin Ferrell, EDGE - Clemson

17. New York Giants -

More options will be added in later picks. If after 20+ votes the selection is clearly one person as the favorite we will move on to the next pick. Otherwise It will be ~24 hours before the poll closes. If there are 2/3 options that are close, there will be a runoff. This is who you think they WILL pick, not who they SHOULD pick.

I went 

Jonah

DK

Dillard

DK falling this far would be crazy 

[PossibleCabbage]

First 3 votes were all for Jonah, Metcalf, and Dillard, with the OL at #1 and #3.  I just wanted to note this because it will be lost to the ages.

[JaguarCrazy2832]

Has to be ol so I went jonah

[BayRaider]

Dilliard. He’ll be taken before Jonah in this draft. Best pass protector. 

[goldfishwars]

I know the distinctions in particular skillsets between left and right tackle are not as easily defined as they were, but with Dillard having limited experience on the right – does that make him less attractive here with Nate Solder locked in on the left?

 

[goldfishwars]

Also, with that weird offense at Washington State – there’s not a huge library of NFL style run blocking plays that you get with other candidates. For a team that wants to run its offense through Saquon, is that also something to think about? 

[SmittyBacall]

This actually might be a good spot for Jeffery Simmons. The Giants aren't expected to challenge for a playoff spot with a rookie QB and therefore are in no rush to get productivity out of a possible blue-chip prospect (prior to blowing out his knee) still a year away from contributing. He's probably the BPA, though it is still a bit early as these guys don't tend to go until the end of 1 or into day 2.

[EL Guapo]

I don't think they would want to go offense twice but they could if they really like one of the OT's. Word is they will sign Remmers when he passes a physical and probably go OT later in the draft. I think its corner or D-line

Are we sure the Giants won't want to move on from Solder once it is feasible to do so?  If you cut him after this year it's only $8m in dead cap, and smart teams often draft to replace players after the forthcoming season.  At least, that was my logic in preferring Dillard to Jonah here.

[HoboRocket]

I like Jonah as a RT better, and if they ever move on from Solder, he can slide to the left. I think his versatility, superior run blocking, and football IQ make him the more likely (and better) pick than Dillard at this juncture, despite the fact that Dillard is better as a franchise left tackle. Jonah is my 1, Dillard is my 3. 

I went Byron Murphy as my two. He reminds me of Jackrsbbit Jenkins, who the Giants may not have for much longer anyways, and they have an empty spot in their CB group. Wouldn't mind DeAndre Baker, but I'm not sure how well he'd fit Bettcher's scheme.

[Danger]

	1st	2nd	3rd	TOTAL
Jonah Williams	13	3	5	50
DK Metcalf	9	7	4	45
Andre Dillard	5	8	5	36

Currently, would probably go to a 2-man runoff

[HoboRocket]

Honestly, I wouldn't get it if Metcalf was the pick here. It would equate to Metcalf-for-Beckham trade.
