What did the Giants used to do in the draft while Gettleman was with them? I know he wasn't GM, but maybe he will use similar tactics. I haven't ever followed another teams draft strategies. It appeared he was trying to save save save in cap room and draft picks. But, perhaps he will be burning resources saved to trade up and sort out our offseason.

I trust his decisions when it comes to picking the talent. But, will be interesting to see whether or not he intends to BPA or if he's aggressive and trades up. He seems to be a personnel guru who has an insane memory of all guys coming in and thus I feel he will probably be content to sit back and take what HE considers to be the best player available. Not popular names.

Im just guessing its because watkins is local.....

 

 

 

he isnt panther material. 

 

disciplined and not getting in trouble he would not last... he is a weapon but we need WRs. People who understand route running. Watkins is just a bigger ginn and more offield issues. 

 

A long term WR that can make a difference for years to come.. Matthews... Moncfrief... Benjamin... Evans..

Plus not to mention the level ^^^ these guys play on compared to playing against ACC defenses..

Going to Blasted for this but Jordan Freaking Matthews would be the Best #2 for Smitty we have Ever had including Moose (was getting up in age with smith)

 

Cam is a bit of a gun slinger, he is a young QB is big upside.  

We have Proehl as a WR coach

 

Matthews is not going to "kill the combine" "blow the scouts with his measurement"

 

Thank god this draft is so Stacked at WR

Matthews is a Solid athlete, but Very Very smart.  Has Very good fundamentals, Very smooth.

 

We see the Super athletes every year (see Ted Ginn Super senior year, killed the combine)

We see the BIG guys who make circus catches (Dwayne Jarrett)

But in this league Everyone is athletic etc.  Fundamentals get you farther than anything.   Smitty while a good Athlete, he did only run a 4.38.  While 4.38 sounds fast, there are 2-3+ guys who run that every year who can jump and are 6'0+.  What separates smith from the rest is his will and knowledge of the game.  Smith knows how to run the crisp routes to get open, block,help the QB coming back for the ball, etc etc.

Matthews has that.

Peyton Manning had a Solid WR he grew with, he best the "Best" athlete.  He was fundamentally sound and grew with Peyton

There was a Very Very good WR over in San Fran who wasnt the greatest athlete and he did wonders helping out 2 HOF gunslingers.  That Guy Mr Jerry Rice just so happens to be Matthews cousin.

 

I have a Feeling Matthews will Soak up what Proehl is teaching him like a Sponge, will sit down work and grow with Cam.

Agreed and we need someone to make an instant impact not a project

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
