I don't know much about that Brandon Brooks, but I wouldn't be too upset with those picks.

I don't know much about that Brandon Brooks, but I wouldn't be too upset with those picks.[/quote]Im the Giants GM for a 7 Round expert mock on Friday. The only value I like there is Jarius Wright.

These r some guys who I think are more likely
in the first
Stephen Gilmore CB South Carolina
Mark Barron S Alabama
Rueben Randle WR LSU
Kendall Reyes DT Uconn
Coby Fleener TE Stanford



Going off there draft board i would of selected

1. Stephen Gilmore CB South Carolina
2. Amini Silatolu, G, Midwestern State
3. Matt Mccants OT UAB or George illoka S Boise State
4. Jarius Wright WR Ark -im fine with


If Im faced with that board I will try to move down some. I see Tannehill still on the board I can probably shop the pick and move down to 40 or so.
Before I pick on Friday I will show U guys the board and see if u want to throw up some suggestions

Didn't Mayock say there was only 1 RB that would be take in the 1st? Did something change at the combine?

Yeah Trent Richardson is the only RB that has a first round grade right now.

Wilson is rated around pick #40 so if we were going to reach for a RB then it would have to be with our first (and not really a reach). I just don't see the Giants going that high for a RB that isn't a slam dunk (in their minds).

Wilson is a one dimensional back ... good north-south runner, but not much of a blocker and doesn't catch out of the backfield.

What about the Safety from Alabama? Couldn't watch any combine yesterday and didn't have time to read up on the event yesterday. Wasn't there mention that he could slip to a late 1st round pick?

In other news, Sideline Scouting has their 7-round mock up:
1) Zach Brown (OLB, UNC)
2) Joe Adams (WR, Arkansas)
3) Mychal Kendricks (MLB, California)
4) Taureen Poole (RB, Tennessee)
5) James Brown (OG, Troy)
6) Marcel Jones (RT- Nebraska)

My thoughts: Solid draft. I wouldn't mind that in the least. It adds a TON of speed to the LB corp, particularly with JWIll and Boley already there. Likewise, I really like Brown and Jones in the 5th and 6th. Mayock has Brown as a possible second rounder, so that is definitely a Reese pick (smaller school, overlooked, but solid O-lineman, with LONG arms, at tremendous value).

I'm not crazy about the Adams and Poole picks. IMO, Adams is too small/slight to be a Giants draft pick, particularly a high pick when George Iloka and Chandler Jones are still on the board. Poole is a decent back, but just a bit too vanilla for me to get overly excited about.

And Marcel is worth getting simply because he reminds me of Julius from Pulp Fiction.

Mark Barron has dipped and he could very well be there when we pick at #32. Primary reason he's dropping is durability concerns.

So has Mike Adams (OT) (mediocre Combine performance).

Both were highly coveted a week ago (at least by us).

Since the TEs overall have slipped it will be interesting to see which way the Giants go in the first.

If Coby Fleener kills his Pro Day, he might still be a top pick for our first. He did the bench at the combine (pronged ankle stopped him from doing other drills) and tied for first among TEs with Dwayne Allen (bolstering the question of whether he was strong enough to play at the next level).

If Mark Barron is still available it should be a no brainer. I personally don't think he has durability issues since he's had 38 career starts... in the SEC... and led Alabama in tackling in 2010. I just don't see any way he drops to us. His body of work is just too impressive.
