Good
morning Giant Fans. Druid has spent the weekend channeling Jerry
Reese, Be amazed as he reveals the G-Men war room game plan for the
2013 NFL Draft.
The
Giants have 8 picks in the upcoming draft. As usual, there is an open
mindedness, but no plan/intent to trade out of their designated
positions.
PICK
#1 (19) – This pick will be a freak. The
Giants prefer it was a DE, OL, or S. These picks are not made in a
vacuum. They must release Tuck, Baas, and Rolle in 2014, so they can
re-sign Cruz, Nicks, and JPP. Yet, this is the spot where you can
swing for the fences and have a reasonable chance of hitting a
homerun.
Ok, lets
peak in at Jerry’s 1st round board and see how he groups
the “freaky” 1st rounders. Percentages are a blend of
availability, the degree of upside, and a risk/reward variance.
 |
| BJOERN WERNER |
Werner 50% Fluker 35% Carradine 25%
Ogletree 50% Vaccaro 25% Jones 15%
Moore 50% Watson 25%
Warmack 35% Hunt 25%
The
Giants select Bjoern Werner –
This pick is almost too easy. Werner is a natural 4-3 LDE
with an excellent risk/reward equation.
----------------------------------------------------------
PICK
#2 (49) – With the first pick, The Giants are thrilled
to have added their heir apparent to Justin Tuck. They will continue
to execute their plan from the pool of identified players below.
 |
| TRAVIS FREDERICK |
Frederick
50% Armstead 25% Jenkins 25%
Montgomery
50% Amerson 25% Swearinger 15%
Okafor
50% Collins 25% Te’o 15%
GIANTS
PICK – Travis Frederick – Frederick will have a year
to develop into Baas’s replacement. He can play some G, if need be.
-----------------------------------------------------------
PICK
#3 (81) – With the first 2 selections the Giants have
stayed on script. For the most part, it continues to be a process of
elimination. The next pick will likely come from the following group
of prospects.
 |
| Blidi Wreh-Wilson |
Alford
50% Holmes 25%
Ryan
50% C. Washington 15%
Wreh-Wilson
50% T. Mathieu 15%
GIANTS
PICK – Blidi Wreh-Wilson –
Blidi is the kind of big corner the Giants covet. The Giants
roster, absent Prince, has too many question marks returning at CB.
-----------------------------------------------------------
PICK
#4 (116) – 3 picks and 3 future starters.
 |
| JON BOSTIC |
C.
Washington 50% J. Bostic 25%
N.
Johnson 25% J. Jenkins 25%
C.
Michael 25% D. Williams 15%
GIANTS
PICK – Jon Bostic –
Jerry adds an ILB to the mix. Connor is signed for 1 year and
Herzlich is a special teamer.
-----------------------------------------------------------
PICK
#5 (152) – From this pick on, Jerry starts betting on
long shots.
 |
| REID FRAGEL |
D.
Taylor 50% R. Fragel 25%
M.
Mauti 50% O. Aboushi 25%
W.
Davis 25% A. Mellette 25%
GIANTS
PICK – Reid Fragel – Jerry hopes this converted OT can
continue to develop.
-----------------------------------------------------------
PICK
#6 (187) – “Earth to Jerry” From below.
 |
| RONTEZ MILES |
T.
Hawthorne 25% R. Miles 25%
B.
Cave 25% L. Murray 25%
C.
Fuller 25% M. Furstenburg 25%
GIANTS
PICK – Rontez Miles –
Jerry grabs some value and fills in the loss of KP. Miles
should be useful on special teams. Perhaps, T. Thomas works out at
Safety?
-----------------------------------------------------------
PICK
#7 (225)- Does Jerry have another Markus Kuhn up his
sleeve?
 |
| MARCUS DAVIS |
GIANTS
PICK - Marcus Davis –
Yes he does! Giants grab a big wide out from a familiar
program.
-----------------------------------------------------------
PICK
#8 (253)- Jerry is off the map. The Giants will use this
pick to grab a player they will not be able not sign as a URF.
GIANTS
PICK – Knile Davis – A player with a high-risk health
profile. Knile may not be physically ready for camp.
-----------------------------------------------------------
