Still some studs on board

At Safety

Gardner Johnson was projected the top safety by some people and mostbif not all mocks had him going late 1st early 2nd

Hooker was projected early 3rd.  Iowa has produced some good DBs as of late.  His biggest knock was people questioned his athletic ability but posted a sub 4.5 at the combine

Dieonte Thompson at one point earoy this year was projected a top 10 pick and then his stock topk a hit.  Really had a terrible national championship game.  Real raw, young, shouldve returned a year.  Kinda reminds me of Trai Turner in a sense coming out

Kelvin Harmon and Riley Ridley still stiiting there, 2 solid possession WRs

 

Christian Miller, edge rusher, who some had penciled to us is the 2nd or 3rd is still on the board

Charles Omenihu, big Freak 3-4 DE who had a dominat senior bowl and most thought would go 2nd.  Reminds me a lot of Calais Campbell

Renell Wren, Big Power Athletic DT still on the board.  Didnt see him falling past the middle of the 3rd

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/renell -wren?id=32195752-4542-2041-ca80-11bac75769dc

 

Amani Oruwariye- Big Freak CB, who most had in the 1st or early 2nd.  No one saw him falling out of the 2nd

Hakeem Butler would make sense, big body replacement for Funchess. Then we can cut Torrey Smith and save $5 million. 

Giants Pick ahead of us

 

Id be shocked to see Gettleman pass on Hakeem knowing Gettlemans history of WRs

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
