Predict who we are taking

I'd love it to be Ekonwu, but I think he's going to be the first off the board.

The Jets and Texas are both supposedly looking at CB and WR if they stay and the Giants prefer Neal. I'd say its a good possibility that Ekonwu is there, and a decent chance they both are and the Giants take Thibs and whoever is left at 7.

If we trade down into the first, it's going to be Pickett.  Gut feeling.

And we will likely get some IOL, WR, and DL with the remainder of the draft.  Hopefully IOL in the 2nd if we gain one.

If we stay put? Neal. Gut says Ekwonu and Cross are gone

1. Walker (lol)

2. Thibodeaux

3. Hutchinson? Stingley?

4. Ekwonu (They covet Jermain Johnson but this way they can try to get him at 10/trade up)

5. Cross (or Hutch?)

6. Neal (or) Trade Down w/ NYJ (10), HOU (13), PHI (15).  Land Pickett.

The big wildcard is still Houston.  If they pass on Hutchinson but the Jets covet getting an OT, Could we legimtiately have Hutchinson fall into our laps?

Think we trade back if Willis is gone, take a LT in 1st late round, but with a 2 nd pick take a QB,(Howell or Riddick).

But I think they select a LB, or DE. Last year pick makes me think Rhule likes the unpredictable pick, Horn over Fields ex.

If Willis is there, no doubt, he's the only QB worth taking a risk at 6.

Current Rumor Mill top-5:

1-JAX: Walker DE

2-DET: Thibodeaux DE

3-HOU: Stingley CB

4-NYJ: Hutchinson DE

5-NYG: Charles Cross OT

6-CAR: Ekwonu, Neal or trade down..please just take a tackle

The idea of trading down to lose out on a top talent, just to position ourselves for a QB is not smart.  You stay put or trade up for a QB (philosophy wise, not this draft).  You don't trade back to make it seem like you're not reaching and get a R2-3 caliber QB instead.

    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
