I was looking at Kent St games and this guy caught my eye
Redeye do you have any Shamarko thomas?...He lacks prototypical size, but the guys a freak athlete who reportedly runs a 4.2 40 and hits like a mack truck...Depending what the Giants do with Rolle and Phillips in the offseason I would love the Giants to take this guy in the 4th round range if he's still available.
For my early mock I'm going to give the Giants
1. Manti teo- Depending how the Giants finish it's conceivable we could be picking mid 1st and I think thats about where Teo should go
2. OT Brennan Williams- first round talent who suffered a torn labrum and will probably slide some. Could be a day 1 starter at RT for us though
3. DE Brandon Jenkins- Pass rush specialist who'd be a solid replacement for Osi
4. S Shamarko Thomas- Baby Bob Sanders
5. CB Nigel Malone- IS NYCsportsfan's sleeper CB and the guys right more often then not, so thats good enough for me
6. TE Travis Kelce- Great size 6'6 260, solid production 472 yards 4 TD's and reportedly runs around a 4.5ish 40
7. RB Rex Burkhead- Giants haven't had a white RB since Keith Elias, I think we're do for another one...His hard nose style would be a nice compliment to Wilson down the line

I like the players. I need to know more about the Labrum tear on Williams tho . That is a common injury but can be a silent career killer for linemen depending on how severe a tear it was. I can refer people to how much that injury has pestered Justin Tuck in recent years but the best example of how much it can do is Andrew Datko, a tackle out of FSU who was once thought of as a possible 1st round talent. A badly torn labrum had him drafted in the 7th and now has him sitting on the Packers practice squad.
Unfortunatly, as fans we dont see the doc reports from the combine so we wont really know how badly he was injured. But hopefully the Giants do. If the problem is resolved, he is a fine prospect. If not, I would stay away, that is an injury that can plague a career for an olineman.
From the little I've seen shamarko play, I don't think size is an issue. He's extremely physical. His instincts are questionable and he bites on everything. Though Will Hill was much the same. I do like shamarko. Get him to play a little more disciplined and he can be a nice player in the secondary. He would be a tremendous ST player as well with his speed and willingness to throw his body around
Welp, my man Baccari Rambo yet again makes a huge splash play for GA.. Ga Tech was about to score on a long run play and a few Bulldogs converged at about the 4 yrd line and the Ga Tech runners momentum was moving em toward the endzone and Rambo just stole the ball from him and then returned it 46yrds in the other direction.. So easy to see hes gonna fly up draft boards.. Its why i have em as the top S in this class..
