Just thought it'd be fun for us here at BBV to put our final draft thoughts out there.

This kid has my undivided attention

Good day Cheeseheads, I'm currently involved in a mock as the Packers GM, and after some research I was thinking the most likely way you guys go in the draft is a pass rushing end of some nature. Someone like Andre Branch if available. But I figured I'd ask those in the know. What or who do you see the packers spending their first and second rounders on this spring? Thanks for the input, and good luck this year.

At this point in the offseason we've been pretty well informed on our team needs.  We have read and watched pieces on just about all of our potential first round choices. 

Some have expressed an interest in getting a Linebacker, or an O-Lineman.  Some toe the company line stating Best Player Available.

So I ask you Big Blue View, who is your guy?  Who should the Giants select when on the clock in Radio City?

1.  First and foremost a prompt and positive end to the CBA talks.  C'mon fellas... everybody is making too much money to not get together and find the common ground to make this happen.

2.  Free Agents, ours and theirs.  Biggest wish, Nnamdi Asomugha.  get this guy and we are contenders immediately.  Chad Greenway, this is the more likely splash, it has become the Giants MO to get LB's out of the free agent market.  Logan Mankins, great player at a position that could use another great player.  As for ours, the moneys it would take to keep Bradshaw, Cofield, and some others can be used on the players above.  Steve Smith is my top priority to resign. Guys like Linval Joseph need a chance on the field so if Canty or Cofield is not here next year I would not shed a tear.

3.  Draft.  This will depend largely on what gets done in the FA market prior, but I would love to see them get, in no particular order, cause I just have no clue what Reese and company are thinking... ever.  A runningback (to replace AB), a center, and a dual threat TE (blocking and passing) maybe it's the concussion thing but in my opinion Boss has become to inconsistent, and we will never figure out how to use a guy like Beckum.  Defensively an OLB, and a Safety that will push the two U grads to compete for playing time, those two were rather lackluster last season.

4.  Can they please find a way to get Pierre Paul on the field full time next season.  I don't care who he has to supplant, get him on the field.

Those are my thoughts, anyone else? 

21 teams passed on Moss... wow this speaks volumes about the value of character and work ethic in the NFL.

and at least Moss isn't going to Washington, I had a bad feeling we were going to have to deal with him for the rest of the season. But those fears are now put to rest.

 

Good on ya, to the Bills.  This could work out very nicely for them.  Keep him under the radar and let him rebuild his career.

For me it has to be Perry Fewell.  Even though the team that will take to the field on Sunday is much the same as it was a year ago, a lot has changed.

New faces in new places, draft picks, free agent signings even a couple of UDFA's.  All the moves that were made this offseason were throuroghly scrutinized here at BBV, and with the 53 man roster now no longer a guess, I was just wondering what everybody felt was the best move made since the last time we saw The Giants in a meaningful game (somewhere around week 8 last year).

And conversely what was the worst move, or non-move by Jerry and Co.? 

 

Hey guys I just started a league over on Yahoo, figured since I talk football with you guys everyday some of you might be interested in joining. 

 

Total points league, No more wasted touchdowns to get 1 victory or scoring the second most points on the week only to take a loss, they all count toward the end goal of winning the year.

 

League # 548005

This league accounts for pretty much everything and has plenty of points to go around.

 

Not for the weak, this will demand some attention if you wanna win.

With the first 2 days done and most of us left with our heads spinning about the prospects of what we have taken, I thought a Saturday morning guessing game... Who will be a part of the GMEN next year

My thoughts. and I've been nothing but wrong so far, other than Chad Jones...

James Starks will be a Giant by the end of the day.

anyone else think they know where Reese is taking this ship next?

Apparently we've all misjudged what we already have in house when it comes to a MLB. 

Most of us, myself included, thought that the Giants would surely have addressed the apparent need to replace AP by now.  And it seems that they are content to let Goff (the most obvious of replacements) and company battle it out for the starting position.

That being said there are still a few MLB's worth a look left in this draft. 

Do we bite on any of them?  Or do we just go a different direction tomorrow?

Thoughts

One thing I've noticed about all of these mocks...

The Giants always seem to "settle" for drafting whoever. 

This is the one comment I will be completely outraged to hear on Thursday.

JPP... give me a break, We're not putting together the 2014 olympic squad, we're tryin to win football games.

Iupati... a Guard? a Guard in the first... ugh

Even though there is talent there... Another DE?  We don't have enough playing time to keep the ones we have happy.  And No, I don't want to trade OSI until next season if ever.

Spiller... OK this guy could have an impact and I would not feel like we "settled" on this pick.

McClain/Spoon... these are the guys I want.  This is not settling,  Trade up get McClain, or "reach" although I don't see it as a reach and take Spoon at 15.

If we come out of the first with anything that feels like "going home with the hot chicks friend 'cause she was willing" taking that long "walk of shame" and we spend the next 3 years justifying the move to all of our friends,  I will be sick

Well, we're finally in the homestretch of this Pre-Draft banter, and I felt it was time to take a definitive stand on who we all think the Giants are taking.

Not so much who should we take as who are we gonna take.  Feel free to join me if you got a guess.

I'm Going with S. Weatherspoon. 

Despite what we want, McClain probably won't be there at 15.  LB is our biggest need and this guy fits the role regardless of when people think he's comin off the board. 

I'm inclined to think that all of the "Giants are not interested in McClain" stuff is crap but, the front office knows he'll be gone and we look better when we draft the guy "we wanted"

Anybody else have a guess?  Go ahead and take a stab at it... it'll be bragging rights for some and ridicule for others come Thursday night.

 

Just did some perusing of the intergoogle to see if there were any RB's we haven't talked a whole lot about that might fill our needs if we pass on Spiller in the first.  Came across this guy who I'm sure alot of you are familiar with but has gotten no love on this site.

	Jonathan Dwyer RB, Georgia Tech
	Scouting Report: Jonathan Dwyer: No. 21, RB, 5-11, 235 A thick, tightly wound back with a muscular upper body and strong lower half, Dwyer gets up to speed instantly out of his stance and does a great job keeping his pad level down when attacking the line of scrimmage. He has the power to consistently run through arm tackles and is a bear to bring down in the open field. Dwyer showcases impressive lateral mobility out of his breaks with the necessary short-area quickness to make a man miss in tight quarters. He exhibits a good initial burst out of his breaks and has the ability to create separation once he sheds a defender. Dwyer isn't a burner once he gets into the open field, but he has enough speed to consistently reach the corner and create big plays once he gets into space. He's very instinctive at the line of scrimmage and is asked to make a lot decisions from only four yards behind the line. He reminds me of a more dynamic Jonathan Stewart. Could this guy be a better fit for us in round 2?
