Wow... Jets take able to get Williams.

BPA- is there something that allowed him to drop?

Expected a receiver or outside pass rushing LB.

I'm shocked about how this went down for the Jets. I just never imagined we'd end up with Williams. I'm wondering if they're thinking of trading Mo Wilkerson?

Maybe they will...

Wish we played a 4/3, we could put out a pretty good d-line with what they have.

They may just go with some 4-3 this year. I wouldn't put it past Bowles.

I kind of followed this a little bit and I thunk the Patriots did quite well with Brown. Brown played both inside and outside at Texas--he loos guard-able on the outside but inside hes quick powerful has low leverage and reminds me an awful lot of Warren Sapp. I would not be surprised if he ends up a top 5 player in this draft.

The Jets took the best player available and what you like from Williams is that besides being really good he also seems to love to play(and if any of you played football you know what I mean) and has dominate type physical features. I think Williams slipped because he was injury prone-- hes got high upside--a few videos will tell you all you need to know about his upside but the NFL is 5 times more physical than college and if he was injury prone there--it may follow him. Also we have a full 3 line man in a 3-4 set. It just means we re going to have some depth and be able to keep guys fresh with rotation + there's a hedge against Wilkerson leaving next year. This is a veteran defense right now--I dont see trading Wilkerson as we sweep past rd 1.


We actually traded our 5 + 6 pick for WR's already(one Marshall the other harvin who is gonzo) but I like Dorial Beckham for pick #37 for pure talent and I think the bigger target really helps Geno. Then I think we go offensive line picks 70 +104 we could use a punter in the 7th round it went unnoticed but we were a poor punting team and that kid from Kansas the lefty he big physical and gets huge long punts off. Time to address the under rated position there.

I really wanted Schreff or Beasley for the Giants. I am happy with Flowers though. Long and nasty. Was extremely happy Giants did not pick man boobs.

Pretty pumped by the Giants pick. He's an absolute road paver. A massive powerful man who plays angry. Giants need that guy in the worst way. If we can a couple pieces on defense and stay reasonably healthy I fully expect the Giants to compete for a title.

Agreed. Eli's head should be spared now. I wanted a DE pass rusher to go alongside JPP & Moore but if the Giants feel there is equal value at DE later in the draft I'm not going to doubt them.

Good difference making OT's go in the 1st round so a great value pick with cooper, Williams & fowler off the board. I like Flowers over Sherff anyway. Much bigger dude

OL and Defensive on the Jints have massive holes..LB and Secondary needs upgrades badly if they are going to compete..Can't be more happy about the recieving core..Plax got clipped for tax evasion...The man must love the pokey...

Giants Oline is now 1 first rounders, 2 second rounders and a FA that was a premier signing. No excuses for that crew.. they need to perform. Eli had a career passing year and the Giants had no running game at all. I dont expect the defense to be dominating, but there are enough quality guys there (and we should add more) for Spags to put together a good group.

That being said tell me a better passing attack that Eli->Odell/Cruz/Randle/Donell. That should be a sick crew man

#1 The D-Line was by far the Giants biggest weakness last year. Zero pressure on the QB until JPP & Moore got it together late in the year in meaningless games.

#2 weakness was the O-Line. Eli had a heck of a year under Ben Mcadoo when he wasn't getting his head knocked off. We are set at WR & RB. Donnell can be an above TE but he doesn't block well. I would not be surprised if the Giants take a TE in the early rounds.

#3 weakness was special teams. Zero production on offense and defense. How many Punts were returned for TD's on them last year? And worst field position in the league on offense. So look for improvement on special teams.

The secondary Should be a strength like it was suppose to be last year but Tbeywere depleted by injuries last year to Prince, Thurman & Cromartie. They are strong at safety & improved at LB. Healthy Beason is huge since he is the leader on defense especially now that Rolle is gone. Jaquan Williams should have a breakout year at LB.

Gonna be a battle for the division between the Giants, Cowboys and Eagles to a lesser extent.

Going to be a hell of a football season in NEw York. Really like what the Jets have done and I really don't see Geno getting the job. Fitz is not great but he can be adaquate as the Defense and special teams carry them. He will please Brandon Marshall, Decker & Kerley with some deep bombs. He is very similar to Testeverde and how Vinny who also had a rocket of an arm but struggled with consistency. Too much feast or famine but that changed when he came to New York under Parcells who holds his QB's accountable. Todd Bowles is a Parcells guy so they can can it done. I think the Jets will finally overtake be Patroits. Miami 3rd, Buffalo 4th.

When was the last time both the Giants & the Jets made the playoffs together or came close? It's gonna be a fun season!

Giants football is about rushing the QB especially with Spags back. It's the reason we own Brady. I feel they did enough at LB. like I said with the emergence of Kennard, Beason back as the defensive leader & they stole Jaleel McClain from the Ravens. Like with Safety & the secondary the key will be for them to stay healthy this year.

love the fact that reese took an o-lineman, but i wish it was sherff. i know flowers has a really high ceiling, but miami lineman seriously worry men.. most lineman coming out of the U the past bunch of years have ended up as busts, so i hope flowers lives up to the high pick.

I can definitely see that if he's on the board. Like I said Donnell is adequate but struggles to block. He makes his share of wild catches and takes it down field. Deceptively quick. Good teams have 2 big time threats at TE now so although the offense is awesome as is it can be even more special with a TE to compliment Donnell

You can look at need in round 1-2 if the talent is there. Ive heard some people calling Flowers a need pick which is silly. Of course it is. Thats not a negative. Especially when he's the fit (run game + toughness). The Jets frontline is going to be nuts. I wonder if they can leverage that into a winning formula because they really lack balance. Coaching changes are tough.

Hope not. I want either a safety, linebacker or DE.
