Cool. But for clarity, do you mean at 14 or on a trade down?

And don't forget ya gotta defend it. Make your case.

With the 44th pick. See most of the other wr's before him gone and he will be the best wide recevier available at the time. For defending it. Look at his stats the past 2 year. :P

For th 14th BPA or Austin. Doesnt matter to me.

In the first. I hope they Target Keenan Allen. Obvious reason. Need that #1 wide out of the future. Sheldon Richardson. Get that inside piece that has been needed for a long time now. Desmond Trufant. Get a top corner to grow with that young secondary.

Another option would be trading down with a team with two picks in the first this year.

Finally, BPA.

I think the BPA's will be Cooper, Austin or Allen. IMO there's like a 50% chance Cooper will be there -- but even if he is, you don't know if Gettleman wants to draft a guard that high. The Giants haven't drafted an O-lineman high in a long time. I think Allen's the best pure WR prospect in the draft. He has good size, good speed and perhaps the best ball skills in the draft. The injury is all that worries me. We all know how much it sucks for your 1st round pick to get hurt. Austin is not your average receiver, but he's a dynamic weapon with game-breaking ability. Right now, I might favour Allen just because he has the potential to replace Smitty as a quintessential no.1.

I'm on the Star. L bandwagon, but I'm pretty sure we won't get him...and I will be happy regardless if recent history repeats itself

2011 - Patrick Peterson bandwagon, picked Cam (Glad I was wrong)

2012- Fletcher Cox bandwagon, picked Kuechly (Glad I was wrong)

      This might be a good time for a Jerry Richardson reference.   ...   Actually, no it wouldn't 😕

      Exclusive First Image Of Nicolas Cage As Football Icon John Madden & Christian Bale As Raiders Owner Al Davis In Amazon MGM’s ‘Madden’

      Nicolas Cage is certainly fun to watch in "Nicolas Cage" roles (Face Off, The Rock, 8MM). Parts generally need to suit his particular persona or things can wind up looking kind of silly ('Not the bees! NOT THE BEEEES!!!") Having him play an actual historical figure... eeehhh, just seems like a bad idea, similar to having Dwayne Johnson star in a biopic about Martin Luther King 😕

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Dude, I’m sorry but I don’t get your worries about this magical culture and fan involvement. We’ve sucked balls since 2018 because we actually did what you want to do. Limp along and try to win as many games as possible without actually being good. All that does is cause the same problems you didn’t want to gamble on happening. Well, they did what you wanted and what did we get for it? 7 drafts and Young, Horn and Brown, not exactly a SB winning core. We haven’t won more than 7 games since 2017 and you are worried about risking our culture, etc.? That’s silly. Cam and Luke have been gone for 5+ years now. We finally had a draft in 2025 where we actually had our full allotment of picks. We absolutely screwed up by not going full rebuild. Texans did in the same window and they’ve been to the playoffs multiple times and have a much better team. Any fan issues now in Houston even with the Watson massage debacle? I will separate this statement because I get annoyed at back seat driving type comments. Many of us like minded draft followers and GM and wannabes said that we should have tanked in 2022 and traded every guy where teams offered quality picks. You might not like it, but we were 100% correct. Sure, Fitterer might have pissed them away but the Rams 2024/2025 1sts would have been Morgan’s picks. You also have to rebuild through the draft, period, which is why bad teams try build up picks, not trade them all away or don’t take hauls when available. There’s not one team that rebuilt through FA and was successful. It doesn’t exist because the key guys (Eagles OL/DL, Hurts, Mahomes, Kelce, Chris Jones) on Super Bowl teams (Kuechly, TD, Cam) are drafted. I grew up in CT and I went to Pats games when people handed you stacks of free tickets in the parking lot because no one wanted to go to their games. One QB and a bunch of solid OL/D picks and they were a different franchise. We can only hope that Canales is the right coach and that 2025 is the start of drafting well. If I’m being objective, we’ve still got a ways to go.
