I'm not saying he's Randy Moss, but what he could do for us in 25 "may" harken us back to what adding Moss did to the surround here in 98.
An OG will not do that.
I can get on board with going D #1, but if offense is getting more love? I think you have to grab one of the two 1a guys (Henderson or Hampton).
I agree with this 100%. The pick has to be a lineman (offense or defense) or a weapon on offense. I think there is even some justification for a receiver, but yeah Henderson would be my pick also.

There's a reason Milroe was invited to the combine. This could be it.

That wouldn't be a bad trade down. Pick 65 is the top of the 3rd round.

The math favors the Vikings by a decent amount. But I think fans of all teams have to start preparing themselves for a much-less-than-normal return on any trade down between 15 and 70, since there is so little difference between the players in that tier.

True, but it's always going to boil down to desperation and the need to win now. The Giants are clearly in that boat or the head coach and GM are getting canned. This is on the heels of them still wiping the egg off their faces for letting Saquan walk out the door. Depending on how the board falls, hearing a lot of noise about both the Giants and the Browns potentially trading back into the 1st round for a quarterback. Interestingly enough, McShay has Dart going to the Saints at #9...before Shaduer Sanders. This really is one of the more unpredictable drafts in some time, I mean...outside of us taking Emmanwori.

I get that feeling as well. I don't think it will be a great year for a ROI in terms of trading out of the first. I am thinking more of a trade back with this type of return.

First time I decided to do this. I think their rankings are weird. There you go people; it is proven I suck. You're better than me.
I guess overall it was worth the $119. Good content within the site. Never really cared much for PFF, but the subscription is cheap.

I wouldn't pay any attention to their grades. Consensus has Donovan Jackson at exactly 37 and PFF gives you a D+ for taking him at 37? That's probably because he's listed by PFF as a tackle, which isn't among our needs. But Jackson's a guard.

Yeah, I thought that was odd. I think Jackson could play both, but G is his all-pro meal ticket I feel. I got subscription on Wednesday, didn't have much time to play with the simulator till last night. I saw right away your thoughts on their rankings. Still not a terrible idea to get it.
I just am really starting to be on Jackson for us. Also, a player I have been starting to dig a lot deeper into on is Chase Lundt. Could be ideal to take over at RT if or when we decide on O'Neill. Give Lundt a year to gain some weight and work on the offense, and I think he could be a really good get for us.
I am not saying I would be mad at this, but this would NEVER happen lol. Looking like this is a bit unrealistic
