2-Team Mock 2nd Edition: Giants & Bengals (edited 1/23)

the Giants should get an OL in the first round. The Giants should be looking to draft a new running back, because Jacobs won’t return

I’d make changes only b/c of big board discrepancies I have.
Depending on whose left at 19, I’d like Carimi, Sherrod, or Costanzo more than Solder. Also, if Mark Ingram or Akeem Ayers are still around, they’re the pick.

In the 2nd, if we didn’t pick an LB in the first, Mason Foster is a strong strong pick. I like it, though if Martez Wilson were available, I’d have to think hard about picking him.

In the 3rd, got no problems there….only people who probably are available at that juncture that i’d like more would be Ryan Williams or Demarco Murray.

In the 4th, well, okay I think I MIGHT have to disagree on this one…simply because we’ve got Antrel Rolle, Kenny Phillips, Deon Grant, and we MAY get Chad Jones back next year. Corner back is the most pressing need and if we can get Chase Minniefield, Shareece Wright, or Davon House there, I’ll take em though I definitely can’t argue the value of Deunta Williams.

Round 6 is a perfect pick. No complaints…great value at a position where depth is a need.

Round 7, idk too much about the dude, but you are right in that one later rounder should be a flier on the defensive front.

Overall, excellent job with the picks.

too friggin tall and raw. Also I dunno that the Giants don’t protect Eli all that well, they have the least sacks allowed in the NFL or close to it. Lot of that is Eli’s pocekt awareness.

Then again its just the reasoning that grinds my gears. The Giants DO need a lineman cuz they can’t run block for shit. If they think Solder as an elite athlete can be molded into an LT than fine. I just think he’s too tall and will be injury prone. Also he’s probably gonna have to deal with midgets like Trent Cole or Brandon Graham at least twice a year. Dunno how that’s gonna work.

I like the idea of picking 2OLs. I do think that one at least needs to be a G/C combo tho, Giants actually could probably use a starter at C..unless Boling can do that already.

I like the Foster pick. I think its more of a need than BPA, but if its a choice between an injured player like Bruce Carter and Foster, a dude who’s probably just a solid starter, I’d choose Foster.

Love the Vereen pick. He’s a lot like Bradshaw except he can actually catch the ball and also doesn’t juke himself into 7 yard gains when he can gain 40 instead.

Deunta Williams is good value, I just think that a CB…a fast CB, is needed. Especially if Chad Jones might could come back and Phillips is another year removed from his surgery (they took it easy on his responsibilities this year I thinks).

But overall good mock for the Giants tho. I don’t like Solder, he’s a bit like JPP for me last year. And of course the Giants drafted him and he looks like he’s a potential superstar pass rusher.

1. Yuck. For my reasoning why it’s a bad pick, go check the other 92139499321 mocks that give us Green.
2. I’m not totally opposed to a DE pick. I would prefer a DT, but I don’t see any of good value in our particular spot in the second. I would personally go with an OG/OT tweener who can be a backup plan for Lard Tits or be a force on the interior.
3. I can’t complain about this pick at all. I’m comfortable enough with Nelson at FS to do this.
4. If we haven’t picked up an OG earlier, we need one at some point. I’m glad you didn’t totally ignore the need. Decent pick in this scenario, although I hate Michigan.
5. Rey Maualuga is going to move to ILB. It will probably be this season. This pick needs to be an OLB.
6. I want a guy who can run between the tackles and take poundings from vicious AFCN defenses. Lewis is explosive, but he has the frame of a high schooler. Not an ideal back for us at all, except as a COP back. But we already have one of those in Scott.
7. I’m totally cool with this pick. He could be a solid backup, and we’re lacking one of those badly. Good pick.

and hitting it well.
1. I’m good with Green, especially if Fairley, Peterson, and Bowers are gone. I might be talked into Quinn or Dareus but Green IS the real deal.
2. I’d prefer either Marvin Austin or, failing that, Marcus Cannon.
3. Sash sounds great. Roy Williams is apparently made out of straw.
4. Schilling is good, too, unless, of course, we get Cannon in round two.
5. I love Casey Matthews but, like sexsalad says, Rey is presumably moving in at some point to replace Dhani and the promising Rodderick Muckelroy as a back-up. Maybe Dontay Moch here?
6. I’d prefer Taiwan Jones to Lewis
7. Maybe a kicker. Auburn’s Wes Bynum?

Seriously, a heck of an effort for a non-Bengals fan. Thanks.

1. Not a fan of Green. Top 5 Wr’s are the most busted pick in the history of the draft (there’s your fun fact for the day). Lots of young talent at WR and I’m not sure a new WR that thinks he’s the shit isn’t what I want to replace the idiot Ocho.

2. Kerrigan doesn’t fit at all. We like our DE’s to be large enough to kick inside for passing downs. Kerrigan is 6’4 263. That’s pretty small for our DL. Allen Bailey would be 100x more a fit.

3.Solid pick.

4. Ok with Schilling in round 4 rather look into Moffit (i think he will to top of the 4th)

5. I’d go running back here instead of 6th. Casey is good but not sure if he would realistically even be available in the 5th. I see a guy like Nate Irving being here but not Mathews after his bowl game performance (and i think he’ll test out great)

6. Here’s where I would go LB like with Josh Bynes. so let me talk about Dion here instead. How does he fit as a replacement of Cedric Benson? Dion is 5’8" 195 and Ced is 5’11" 227. We don’t have a feature back if he leaves, I rather have a guy like Taiwan at 5 because at his 6’1 frame he can put on another 10 lbs and still be built.

7. Good B.S. pick I’m fine with it, I would say Dan Lefevour would beat him out as a back up since were likely going a more west coast if childress goes with us, with a mildly more mobile QB being more valuable. So I maybe would consider drafting another Wr to mix with special teams, a

@mortreport says Carson Palmer wants out of Cincy and may retire if he’s not dealt. Huge draft implications there.
