Daniels seems to be a great fit for the Giants, assuming that his price is reasonable. Would love to see the Giants get one of the premier tackles, then Linderbaum (I know, I've been screaming for Linderbaum) in the first round. I believe Linderbaum is the best Olineman in the entire draft, regardless of position. He'll improve both guard positions. My fear is that the Giants won't use both first round picks on the Oline and will lose Linderbaum. I realize they need an edge rusher, but I don't see any edge rusher as a generational talent like Linderbaum. Draft day can't get here soon enough.ESPN Projects This Free Agent Signing for Giants - Sports Illustrated New York Giants News, Analysis and More
ESPN is out with its list of the top 50 pending NFL free agents, including projecting where their best fit is. And they have one name on their list earmarked to the Giants that definitely makes a lot of sense.
Agree.
I hear what you're saying about Linderbaum. I think he's a generational talent also. He seems to be dropping in the ratings. The reason is probably because he's 6-3 & 290 Lbs. He's only been playing center for 2yrs at offensive lineman U (Iowa). He not going to be for everyone because he's not 6-5 315 Lbs. I think the Giants should and hopefully will draft him. I would compare Linderbaum to Jason Kelce the Eagles center. Kelce who's 6-3 and 295 was drafted in the 6 Rd. has been a 5 time Pro Bowler and a 4 time 1st team All Pro. I think Linderbaum has the potential to be that type of player. Also, I think he should be the Giants 1st offensive lineman drafted because of his talent and he makes the whole line better JMHO.
I think it was the case the year before, as well. Was it a matter of Joe Judge not being able to attract good coaches or him not being able to identify good coaching?
Agree with everything you said except for making Linderbaum our first pick. No way should we draft him if either of the two tackles Neal or Ekwonu are there.
I think it was a combination of both! The way he handled the offensive line coaches was pathetic.
I would pick Sauce Gardner CB as my 1st pick in the first round. A shut down corner is too good to pass up IMHO. I think I posted that in another section. I would take Linderbaum as the 1st offensive lineman the Giants draft. I believe he's a generational talent who could be the anchor of the Giants line for a decade.
Considering the problems this team has had along the interior, I wouldn't be totally against going with Ickey Ekwonu if he's there and they want to move him inside.
Agreed!
I like Linderbaum also but aside from weighing only 290 lbs. he has very short arms. That makes two knocks against the Rimington Award winner and possibly enough to scare some teams. We need heft and power to open holes for Saquon.
Linderbaum is the highest rated center in the PFF history. I don't see the knocks dropping him that far in the 1st round. If some teams get scared off that may be a plus for a the Giants.
I like Gardner but would hate to pass up on either Neal or Ekwonu with our #5 pick. Gardner is getting a lot of mention. He's not likely to be there for our #7.
