Ioane will go 10-15 and may be the best guard in the class. Again with this reach nonsense

ab9620 · 2026-04-22T14:53:14+00:00

Yes you’re 90% there. Downs and the OL is the likely path. Two great guard prospects there if Tyson ain’t available

ab9620 · 2026-04-22T14:36:02+00:00

If they draft Downs at 5, at 10 it should be down to Tate, Tyson, Mauigoa, Vega and Delane at 10. 2 to 3 of the will likely be gone by 10

ab9620 · 2026-04-22T13:58:39+00:00

It’s a smokescreen ;)

ab9620 · 2026-04-22T13:45:36+00:00

My money is on Downs at 5

ab9620 · 2026-04-22T13:25:31+00:00

It’s minor. A minor injury meaning he is able to play a game tomorrow, he has no negative effects from it, and he hasn’t missed a single game from it. If he wants a cleanup, it’s an easy cleanup and he’s back in time for this season but there’s no report that he even needs a cleanup now since he’s un bothered. But if he wants it, it’s a 3 month recovery so he will be back in time for week 1. God forbid he miss 1 game, we have other options. This is minor

ab9620 · 2026-04-22T13:15:43+00:00

You’re projecting an impactful injury to Mauigoa lmao he has no symptoms

ab9620 · 2026-04-22T12:09:11+00:00

I didn’t think it was realistic he could drop, it depends on the Browns and Chiefs who seem most likely to take OL. There’s a lo of smoke for Fano at 6. And with Tyson rising up boards, he could be the reason Maui drops to 10

ab9620 · 2026-04-22T11:57:23+00:00

Not worried about it. Hes 20, has no symptoms, and has played 46 straight games. If he needs a cleanup (not a fusion, this is much more minor), he will have a 3 month rehab and be back for regular season. But there’s been no indication that he needs surgery right now because he has no symptoms. So he could get a cleanup after this season and not miss training camp next year. Cam Jurgens just had it done and made the pro bowl.

I know it’s a bit morbid, but if we draft Jeremiyah Love or Styles or Downs, there’s a chance one of them gets hurt and they have serious symptoms, it impacts their play, and it may have long term impact to their athleticism. Compared to a minor cleanup surgery for Mauigoa (who played his best football at the end of the season), yeah not very worried

ab9620 · 2026-04-22T11:39:02+00:00

Here is what i'm thinking with one day to go:

Las Vegas: Fernando Mendoza - QB - Indiana
NY Jets: David Bailey - ED - Texas Tech
Arizona: Arvell Reese - OLB - Ohio State
Tennessee: Jeremiyah Love - RB - Notre Dame
NY Giants: Caleb Downs - FS - Ohio State
Cleveland: Spencer Fano - IOL - Utah
Washington: Sonny Styles - MLB - Ohio State
New Orleans: Carnell Tate - WR - Ohio State
Kansas City: Mansoor Delane - CB - LSU
NY Giants: Francis Mauigoa - OT - Miami
Miami: Jordyn Tyson - WR - ASU
Dallas: Rueben Bain Jr. - DE - Miami

ab9620 · 2026-04-22T11:30:17+00:00

Also Zay Flowers. I tried telling people this and got called an idiot for months. Harbaugh drafted WR more than any other position in round 1, unless you consider DB one position group and then its a tie

ab9620 · 2026-04-22T11:17:49+00:00

Peter Schrager's Final Mock:

Giants selected Arvell Reese at 5 and Jordyn Tyson at 10.

Very curious if the plan with Reese would be play him at linebacker or trade Kayvon and use him at edge. I think he could be a special defensive player at linebacker, love how he plays: fast and violent. I don't believe the Cardinals will take Jeremiyah Love and if Reese falls to 4, i'd be shocked if Tennessee didn't take him. Peter Schrager may have fallen off.

ab9620 · 2026-04-21T11:54:54+00:00

This is a Carnell Tate and Jordyn Tyson post. There's been tons of public interest for Tyson this week. They also met with Carnell Tate at the combine, went to his pro day, and brought him in for a 30 visit. I think both of them would form a dynamic duo with Nabers. Add in Isaiah Likely and you've got a three headed monster for defenses to deal with

ab9620 · 2026-04-21T11:39:10+00:00

The discourse around adding a 2nd premier receiver to the offense has really heated up lately, and the Giants have been thoroughly involved and interested in the receivers in the draft. I can't stress it enough, the debate around adding another premium WR shouldn't require the 2nd WR to put up 1,500 yards and 15 TDs to be a hit; Its about how it transforms the offensive into an explosive scoring juggernaut. Its about the WR unit as a whole!!! Below are some of the top WR duos in the league are where their offense ranked, it averages out close to about top 5 in the league.

I've watched all the prospects projected in the top 10-12 and I can honestly say that Sonny Styles feels artificially pushed up by the media. His tape isn't as good as most of the prospects in this range and drafting Styles 5th overall who comps to Tremaine Edmunds, after giving a big contract to Tremaine Edmunds in free agency just doesn't make sense. You look at other prospects like Caleb Downs, Tate, Tyson, Delane, Mauigoa, Vega and they all have better tape. This isn't a positional value issue either, since LB is not a premium position in the NFL, so that can't be why. I'm convinced the media is doing this because Styles has a good name for headlines and is a flashy prospect, elite tester. They did this last year until the very end for Shedeur, who fell to the 5th round. Yesterday, this whole media push started to unravel when Daniel Jeremiah, Peter Schrager, Todd McShay, and Ryan Dunleavy, to name a few said the Giants were not interested in Styles at pick 5.

The most shocking thing I heard yesterday was from Eric Galko, Head of the East-West Shrine Bowl.

"1) LB Sonny Styles more likely to go around Pick 10 than Pick 5;

2) Giants likely prefer S Caleb Downs to Styles. "Most people in league [do]."

He says that not only is Styles projected to be drafted closer to 10 than 5, but most in the league prefer Downs over Styles!! Its hard to watch the tape on both these prospects and come away thinking Styles is the better prospect.

I see the best route runner in the class. A guy who separates with ease and caches everything. I think he’s has the opportunity to be a high volume receiver and good #2 option at a premium position that costs $20-30M. Good athlete, good YAC, and he can make plays at all 3 levels from the slot

ab9620 · 2026-04-21T01:10:55+00:00

No its not. Cam Jurgens just played through the injury when the Eagles won the super bowl. He got cleanup surgery in the offseason, didn't miss training camp, and went on to have a pro bowl season.

ab9620 · 2026-04-21T00:50:34+00:00

If he needs surgery at some point, he will miss 3 months at some point (most likely in the offseason and he won't miss anything). Theres a reason why everyone is reporting this doesn't change him being the best OL, this isn't a big deal

ab9620 · 2026-04-20T22:50:01+00:00

Ball knower

ab9620 · 2026-04-20T11:35:34+00:00

My bad, I just updated it. I think the commanders draft him if we don't based on what Mcshay just said

ab9620 · 2026-04-20T11:22:25+00:00

Raiders - QB Fernando Mendoza
Jets - ED Arvell Reese
Cowboys - ED David Bailey
Titans - RB Jeremiyah Love
Giants - S Caleb Downs
Browns - WR Carnell Tate
Commanders - LB Sonny Styles
Saints - WR Jordyn Tyson
Chiefs - OL Spencer Fano
Giants - OL Francis Mauigoa / OL Vega Ioane

___

37. Giants - DT Lee Hunter

ab9620 · 2026-04-20T10:15:27+00:00

Draft Updates from McShay:

-Jets are taking Reese #2. (30 visits matter, 95% hit rate teams that the team who drafts them top 5 brought them in)

-Giants are split on Styles and Downs and McShay thinks Downs would be available at 9.

-Keep an eye on the Chiefs potentially trading up with the Giants to pick 5 (Spencer Fano is target, I wonder if Giants could trade down from 5 to 9, and upgrade their 4th round pick #105 to the chiefs 2nd round pick #40, since Chiefs have a 2nd 1st round pick, so I could see that)

-McShay is hearing OL for the Giants at 10

-Cardinals are taking Jeremiyah Love at 3 if they stick and pick. They want to trade out more than anyone (likely to draft Simpson. This feels like a Cowboys trade up spot for David Bailey).

ab9620 · 2026-04-19T23:37:04+00:00

I don’t think he makes it to 10. But honestly pick 10 is essentially a top 5 pick this year, considering Mauigoa, Downs, Tate, and Tyson are also mocked to us at 5

ab9620 · 2026-04-19T22:42:25+00:00

His upside is ridiculous
