Nas Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 This is the problem with us Giants fans.........always looking for the 2nd coming of LT. Remind me of the last time we drafted a LB worth a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Now that Joe's not watching, watch them draft a LB in the third. Let's just say they better.... I'm getting really tickrf off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Joe, Ragland was never a fit for the Giants. He's not a dynamic linebacker. He's a downhill linebacker without coverage skills. Later on, perhaps the Giants get a Nick Vigil or something. But this guy Sterling Shepard is unbelievable. I hope he can play outside... I've heard people say he can... over a 40 inch vert, they are probably right, and I'm sure the Giants believe he can with this pick. How tall is he?

Allstarjim Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 How tall is he? Vigil is 6'2" 239 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Unless you were talking about Shepard... he's another 5'10" and change guy. Huge vertical, though. 41 inches... tied for the third highest vertical of ALL PLAYERS at the combine. Guy can get up in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstarjim Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Michael Thomas just went off the board. Ugh. I know it was very unlikely we'd go WR, WR... but he was one of the guys I really liked, as well as his teammate Braxton Miller. Right now I'd say the Vonn Bell watch is on... if he can make it to the 3rd round. Also T.J. Green if he can make it. Spriggs off the board, the OT pool is getting pretty shallow.

He and Jalen Ramsey on the same defense? Wow. Dante Fowler, Jr is coming back.... and they signed Malik Jackson and Tashaun Gipson... that's just NUTS. They are going to be pushing for a Super Bowl, and soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Kevin Byard just came off the board. A lot of interceptions at a small school program. And another conceivable Giants pick with Nassib now gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 We might've overpaid for our free agents but with 20+ mil in remaining cap space I don't think it's as big a deal. Those signing aren't preventing us from signing anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 First play, slot, not in the red zone. He played outside in two wide receiver sets, sure, because you put your two best receivers on the field. But the majority of the time, in 3-wide sets, he was the slot receiver.... another video, not in the red zone, first play anyway... in the slot: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000240989/Week-1-Victor-Cruz-highlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Apparently they are happy with their overpriced defensive line pickups and stop-gap, journeymen free agent pickups at linebacker. that is how we roll to the super bowl or 4-12 to the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it odd that they seem to think our secondary was the issue last season. Doesn't make sense to me. The secondary was virtually the only bright spot on the defense (mainly because they were asked to minimize big plays while the defensive line gave the quarterback ten seconds to hold onto the football). So again, like I said, it seems that they are content with the modest improvements they made on the defensive line at exorbitant prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
