The Official G-Men 2011 NFL Draft Thread

bigbluedefense · 04-26-2010, 08:24 AM

It's never too early to talk about next year's draft.

My early guesses for our needs next year:

-oline
-RB
-MIKE

in that order.

Giantsfan1080 · 04-26-2010, 10:21 AM

That sounds about right to me. Maybe another CB if Ross proves to be hurt again.

bigbluedefense · 04-26-2010, 10:27 AM

CB is definitely a possibility. This is a make or break year for Ross.

Giantsfan1080 · 04-26-2010, 10:36 AM

Plus he's already 28 or 29. One of the main problems I had with that pick was the age factor.

He won't get signed past his rookie contract. That's almost a guarantee now that we have Thomas.

Now that I think of it, we might have to make an overhaul to our CB corp in a couple of years. Webster is about 28 as well.

Thats 2 more years of Ross and Web. We'll need 2 CBs in 2 years. Maybe we go after 1 this year and 1 next year.

me too, i loved him before i found out he was 24

Yeah we could snag Peterson in the first. That would be incredible!!

You know what would be kind of interesting is picking up Malcolm Smith, LB for USC. I believe he plays the inside, and he is the younger brother of our WR Steve Smith.

OSUGiants17 · 04-26-2010, 03:55 PM

My dream pick is Pat Peterson.

Here is my BB:
1. Patrick Peterson
2. Gabe Carimi
3. Malcolm Smith
4. Mark Herzlich
5. Mike Pouncey
5a. Rodney Hudson

Yeah, I agree. But it could all change over the next year. Except for wanting Peterson. :D

ILB Kelvin Sheppard, LSU

C Stefen Wisniewski, Penn State

CB Prince Amukamara, Nebraska

Marvin Austin is William Joseph 2.0, all the talent but lazy and unproductive.

Greg Jones =/= NFL ILB, me and Sniper where talking, and he is right. Jones is too small to be a pro ilb, he will be a college ilb and pro will

I disagree

He is very much a similar size to guys like Jon Vilma, Jon Beason and DeMeco Ryans at similar stages of their college careers.

With the NFL strength and conditioning preparations, I wouldn't be surprised if Greg Jones got up to around 235lbs which is where Vilma, Beason and Ryans are playing.

He certainly wouldn't be a fit for all schemes, but he could play MLB in a system like Fewell seems to prefer. The key will be having the big anchor upfront to keep blockers off the MLB

LetsGoGiants! · 04-26-2010, 08:43 PM

Actually Peterson might not even declare this year. On another topic, I read that he is cousins with Sinorice Moss? Anyone know if this is true or not?

Yeah Sinorice and Santana are his cousins and so is Bryan McFadden

LetsGoGiants! · 04-26-2010, 09:36 PM

Greg Jones is a beast though. I saw a couple Spartan games and he was all over the place.

OSUGiants17 · 04-26-2010, 10:01 PM

Oh hell yeah, the guy is an animal but he might not be best suited as a NFL ILB(at least in a 43 D), he would be better at WILL, he is sorta like Spoon was this year, he can be a play maker at multiple LB positions.

Rosebud · 04-28-2010, 12:36 AM

I want a stud OL in this draft and another guy at DT, if a sweet LB is there as well that'll be awesome, but I want an OL number one and then LB or DT would be my second position of preference.

i agree, i wanted Anthony Davis like tiger wanted to get laid. A runningback would be nice though, unless the stable shows something special. DT is not an early round need right now.

I like JPP a lot more than I did Davis, both have monster upside but with JPP I know he's going to bust his ass to make good on his potential even though he's rawer while with Davis he will be a better a rookie but there are some more troubling concerns.

I'd argue DT is still a high need, until Alford comes back 100% and breaks out our rotation can still be upgraded. I like the Joseph/Canty combo, but a quick UT who won't get washed out in the running game would be a really nice tough, I really wish we had pulled off the rumored Osi for 33 trade and grabbed Brian Price and then trade Cofield for a third to nab Bruce Campbell.

1. JPP
2a. Price
2b. Joseph
3a. Chad Jones
3b. Bruce Campbell
4. Dillard
5. Petrus
6. Tracy
7. Dodge

Would've left me ecstatic. Role with Kiwi and Tuck this year slipping JPP and Sintim as rotational edge guys. Fix our DT rotation and leave it loaded for the future. Then take the insurance policy for Kenny in Jones and add the massive potential Ash brings to the table at OT to eventually pair with Beatty. Day 3 could still go just like it did and we'd be loaded with C and CB as the only major needs/future needs.

Big_Pete · 05-03-2010, 07:51 PM

Here is my early 2011 mock draft (29/04/2010) based on what I generally think the Giants will be looking for and my very early projections of where players will go

1. RB Mark Ingram, Alabama (5-10, 215, 4.48)

2. MLB Quan Sturdivant, North Carolina (6-2, 232, 4.56)

3. C Stefen Wisniewski, Penn State (6-3, 298, 5.16)

4. CB Charles Brown, North Carolina (5-10, 190, 4.48)

5. FB D.J. Williams, Arkansas (6-2, 250, 4.68)

6. T Rob McGill, Louisiana Tech (6-6, 310, 5.04)

7. TE Mike Ragone, Notre Dame (6-5, 252, 4.73

*************************************************

I think the Giants have considered the ILB draft class which has good talent and depth. These are the some of the better prospects next year:

Greg Jones ILB Michigan State (6-1, 224, 4.59)
Quan Sturdivant ILB North Carolina (6-2, 232, 4.56)
Kelvin Sheppard ILB LSU (6-3, 239, 4.64)
Mike Mohamed ILB California (6-3, 237, 4.75)

Don'ta Hightower ILB Alabama (6-4, 250, 4.74)*
Chris Galippo ILB Southern California (6-2, 250, 4.74)*
Korey Williams ILB Southern Mississippi (6-2, 234, 4.65)*

plus OLBs who could possibly move to middle

Mark Herzlich OLB Boston College (6-4, 238, 4.68)
Travis Lewis OLB Oklahoma (6-2, 232, 4.53)*
Akeem Ayers OLB UCLA (6-4, 252, 4.68)*

*denotes underclassmen

All of these guys fit the mold of the kind of ILB we want for Fewell's system. Whilst I am not certain we will go with a MLB in the first round, I do believe there is a good chance we get a MLB in the first couple of rounds next year.

Rosebud · 05-04-2010, 02:40 AM

I'd love to see Wisniewski, O'Dowd or which ever OT falls become giants next april. We need a project at CB we can take our time with while web and Ross fade away and that means we don't have to spend a first on the position letting us continue to re-stock our one remaining important weakness, the OL outside of Diehl, Snee and Beatty.

LetsGoGiants! · 09-02-2010, 07:14 PM

Hey guys, A lot of mocks have us going for Ryan Williams or Mark Ingram. What do you guys think? Do we need a RB with our first?

bigbluedefense · 09-03-2010, 06:44 AM

I think we probably should go offensive line. Center in particular.

We could probably use a linebacker too, and a TE.

BaLLiN · 09-07-2010, 09:00 AM

Id much rather go with a LB or center like others have said, but i feel like our OL has gotten good depth so the only need is center and possibly RT. How has whimper looked to you guys?

I dont know what you guys are thinking but i feel like Shaun Andrews should be moved out to RT so we could get him to start (part of me believes he isn't a great pulling guard), move Beatty to LT and have:

Beatty-Diehl-O'hara-Snee-Andrews

I want Noel Devine, him and Bradshaw are very similar backs and having two low to the ground, quick, short, and elusive but still packing a punch backs are awesome for a quick line that we used to employ.
