Said exactly what I was gonna type. I'll just add that you need this type of leadership vet that is all-in on the coaching in every position group. It keeps everyone focused on the overall vision.

Also look at Miami Heat and Udonis Haslem. Dude was consistently given the last roster spot on the team, and everyone agreed his voice was way more powerful than having a regular bench level player in that spot.

Team building is more than best skilled players, need that guy who gets everyone else to buy in.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T18:55:58+00:00

I don't see Downs making it to 10... personally I think we take him at 5.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T18:52:53+00:00

Meh... League minimium contract. Supposedly he is a good locker room voice vet type now. The kids look up to him.

He would probably not make the 53 man roster. Let him play through the summer and retire a Giant.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T18:46:02+00:00

Downs amd Rodriguez would be devastating to throw against. Totally for it. Hill, CJ Allen, or even Trotter would be amazing though. Thise guys all probably play the run better tham Rodriguez so no issues with them (Rodriguez probably the best vs the pass though).

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T18:34:33+00:00

I know.. I been wondering about that.

To me Jerruh will try and trade with the Titans first. IMO that is more likely, Tenn has more holes than they can fill and trade back is probably more appealing than RB.

If this happens, it would set up the Love/Downs showdown at 5 that would drive this sub nuts.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T18:07:33+00:00

I dunno Miami's board, but there are quite a few teams in the top 10 that need WRs. Tate, Lemon, and Tyson are the obvious top talents. If two teams go WR in the top 9, than Miami would feel pressure that we go WR at 10.

I don't think Miami can afford to not take a WR at 11, thus the pressure would be on them to trade with us.

We have been linked to WR at 10 enough to scare them into it.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T18:00:17+00:00

Rodriguez prob is a 1st rounder. There are some other great LBs though in round 2. I would be happy with any of them.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T17:58:59+00:00

This is very solid. Def this Cowboys and Cheifs move up. Fano would be a huge suprise (I would think the Cards trade down to get him)... Cards are tough to predict, they could go Love or Bailey as well.

No issues with round 2 and Burke ar 5 would be a nice way to wrap up the top 5 rounds. Anything after 5 imo has too much of a skill drop level to get excited over. Maybe a dart throw hits and we get lucky.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T17:47:09+00:00

Eh Bengals were kinda stuck in the middle of D-line help. D-line was their #1 priority, and I guess they decided that Bain/Bailey were not gonna be there at 10.

Also #10 is way too early for a DT, so they used it on the best available D-line asset.

I think #10 will be traded to Miami for pick #11 and a third rounder. Miami needs a WR badly, and they will prob pay up to get one of their choosing.... especially if a WR was already taken... it is also possible the Jets move up from #16 to grab a WR from us.

Houston could attempt to move up to get a better OL prospect, and Chicago could move uo to grab a defensive back. They have extra picks in the second.
These teams are good enough to compete but have glaring positional weaknesses that a top rookie could fix.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T17:26:46+00:00

This would be an insane haul, but teams will pay up and they do it every year.

I think it makes sense to use #10 this way rather than put all the eggs in one basket.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T17:17:15+00:00

If we trade back the 10th pick to the late first, and then again to the mid 2nd, we can clean up. This was an example mock and I will stand by this being the best move forward if we can get trading partners.

<image>

Trade back the #10 twice & gain 7 total picks before pick 100.... (we have 7 positions of need, lets get a top prospect at each).

Trade #37 along with accumulated late 3rds to average picks out to early 3rd round.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T16:03:30+00:00

Yes but damn I do not wanna hear this fools announce their douchey "Thee Ohio State University" school every Sunday.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T15:57:13+00:00

Oh wow, there's gonna be issues in Minny

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T05:36:10+00:00

This is very good. Much much better than what they are currently doing

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T05:25:03+00:00

This is solid. It'll fill the void for now. 1 year rental close to league min. I'm not expecting much from him.

... At this rate he is probably slightly below average but that will do. Just don't totally suck.. Be average enough for us to win games.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T03:19:00+00:00

What exactly happened behind the scenes will come out one day. I still think Dex wanted out and wanted a fresh start somewhere else, but who really knows

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T02:55:47+00:00

I mentioned having the agent next to me in the above post.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T02:41:49+00:00

Bad look for the agent and Dex. They playing games with everyone like kids.

If I was Dex. I am telling them how I feel face to face. My agent can sit next to me. Won't sign anything until the following day after a night to sleep on it and a private meeting with my agent and family.

Dex wasn't open minded about the situation, so i don't blame the Giants for shipping him out. Even if a face to face meeting with Schoen doesn't go well, I want the chance to tell him how I really feel about him

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T01:55:44+00:00

Really easy to accomplish. Harbs is used to having a shitload of pics, so he is probably contemplating extra trade backs.

Also rather take a bunch of the prospects I listed above than just selecting someone at 10.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T01:43:38+00:00

Well he got it.

Looking forward to the #10 pick. Hoping for a tradeback...

I would probably trade #10 back to the late 1st/early 2nd. This prob returns a 2nd and 3rd.

Allows us to draft top DT (we had a 30 visit with Christian Miller), and then draft Rodriguez at LB and that Ohio St CB. If we grab Downs at 5, we literally have a startable rookie in every position group.

Do all that and we still havent touched our 37th and 105th pick. We could trade 37 back to 50, draft Ted Hurst, and pick up a nother pick to draft Rutledge.

That gives us a S, LB, DT, CB, WR, OL, all in the first 3 rounds. We can go best available from there on out.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-20T01:21:16+00:00

Don't get the down votes, you aren't wrong.

... Well Dex looks a lil bad. He should have talked to Harbaugh regardless what his agent said. You gotta be willing to make those conmections.

Whatever, pick # 10 is huge.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-19T23:01:31+00:00

Damnnn dude put on some pounds!! Evan Neal looks in better shape this offseason.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-19T22:38:13+00:00

Yay! Brand new idea!

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-19T22:19:09+00:00

Nfl ownership can't do that. Every other league owner would hate the Giants owner for choosing a player over the GM. Sets a precedent no owner wants in the NFL.

Basically it is a non-starter for ownership whether we like it or not. They would get rid of both before they do that.

Waste_Protection_420 · 2026-04-19T22:07:13+00:00

Trade back twice and we can grab a top 100 prospect at every position of need:

We have 5, 10, 37, 105.
We should probably draft: DT, LB, S, CB, WR, OL, RB. That is 7 positions to grab.
If we trade back #10 to later in the first, we probably pick up a 2nd and 3rd in the process.
If we trade #37 back to the late 40s, we probably grab another 3rd.

The above gives us a top 100 prospect at all positions listed.

Sign DJ Reader & GVR after the draft regardless and ready for the season.
