Good vision
Can pickup the blitz
Good lead blocker
Kickoff return specialist

I really like this guy.

I don't like that he runs upright but that can be corrected

NYKBocker wrote:What I don't get with these mock drafts that are out for 2014 from so called Draft Experts....all of them have the Giants not taking an OL. It's like they don't pay attention to team needs and go by draft value. At the 12 spot, I think the Giants can pick from best available OL. It can be OT, OG or C even though I am hoping for an OT.

The Giants need a lot - I'm, okay with BPA. But they need to draft 3 or 4 on the line

I didn't get a chance to see him play. He is really fast but he is really small. I am not really a fan of small backs. I know he ran a 4.26 and was timed by one scout at 4.18. He is more of a specialist for me.

One back that I like coming into the draft is Lache Seastrunk but unless we get an extra 2nd or 3rd rounder I don't think he is coming here. Depending on what we have available for us in the 12 spot this is how I want it to fall in the 1st 3 rounds.

1st scenario
1st Round - OT Mathews/Robinson/Lewan
2nd Round - OLB/CB/DE - Whoever is BAP. Would love to get Shazier or Van Noy here.
3rd Round - C Swanson/Richburg/Marcus Martin in that order.

2nd scenario
1st Round - OLB/TE/WR - BArr/Mack/Ebron/Watkins
2nd Round - OG Yankey/Jackson/Su'A-Filo/Richardson
3rd Round - C Swanson/Richburg/Marcus Martin in that order.

I am staying away from Kouandijo in the 1st 3 rounds now due to the medical stuff that has come out from the combines that he has arthritis. Would take a flyer on him maybe in the 4th round if he is still there.

Here is a link to the combine results

Man, I hope not. If they draft CBs in the 1st 3 rounds that means Baas and Snee are coming back and Manning will running for his life again.

Feel sick now that Tuck is gone. Our D-Line is scarier than it was last year and i don't mean that in a good way.

+1 and we don't have a number one CB either...

I don't know how anyone can miss Tuck he was always hurt and coasted for a year and a half. Showed up the last 6 games to make a FA push and got himself a deal with the Raiders. I'm actually happy for him as the Giants need to bring in the new and replace the old. Hungry players funny how Tuck got hungry only towards the end coasted in the beginning so he wouldn't get hurt and showed up to play late in the season for the contract.
