What the Giants do not have is an accomplished big-bodied outside wide receiver to complement Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate.Let’s look at the value in the 2019 NFL Draft class and see if we can find players at the draft’s different stages that might line up with the need the Giants appear to have. As we do this https://www.giantsfanshop.com/hats , and other position previews, it is instructive to remember what Matt Williamson told us — NFL teams will winnow their draft board to between 100 and 150 players. Thus, not every prospect who you may know or like will be in consideration. As I do any of these, I am trying to consider player who, I believe, fit with the Giants.Round 1 The Giants have picks at Nos. 6 and 17 in the first round.No. 6The Giants almost certainly will not select a wide receiver this early in the draft. The only player whose name is ever mentioned as possibly being considered by any team that early is the Adonis from Ole Miss, D.K. Metcalf. Could the Giants, though, throw a draft-day curveball and select Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson? Yes, I’m aware that Dan is getting mocked for mocking Hockenson to the Giants at No. 6. That would enable the Giants to move Evan Engram outside, and it is something we have discussed a few times. Draft analyst Matt Waldman recently endorsed the idea:“I think it’s definitely something you have to look into because he is that good of a player. He can start right away for a team because he is that good of a blocker. You can use him on the wing, you can use him inline against defensive ends and outside linebackers. You can use him as a fullback. You can split him in the slot or outside, and he can do it all.”Gil Brandt has Hockenson as his sixth-ranked prospect and says he “will play a long time at a high level and should be a first-year starter.”Dane Brugler also has Hockenson as his sixth-ranked prospect in his annual draft guide, writing that “Hockenson has a complete skill set for the position with outstanding athleticism, pass-catching traits and blocking skills, projecting as an immediate NFL starter with Pro Bowl potential.”No. 17 Metcalf New York Giants Hoodie , at 6-foot-3, 228 pounds and timed at 4.33 in the 40-yard dash “has a chance to be special,” per Brandt. Brugler says he has “freakish qualities” that could see him grow into a No. 1 receiver.Hakeem Butler, the 6-5 3/4, 227-pound receiver from Iowa State, is a player Waldman says would be an “amazing pick” for the Giants at No. 17. Brandt and Brugler aren’t as convinced, with Brandt having him No. 60 on his prospect list and Brugler giving him a second-third round grade.Day 2The Giants have selections in Round 2 (No. 37 overall) and Round 3 (No. 95 overall).Something that Waldman also admitted during his recent appearance on my podcast was that wide receiver values will vary greatly from team to team and evaluator to evaluator. I’m going to lean toward the bigger-bodied players, and do my best to place them where I think they might be considered value picks by the Giants. I’m sure many of you won’t consider this a complete list. Round 2, No. 37 N’Keal Harry — The 6-foot-2 3/8, 228-pound Arizona State product gets late-Round 1 buzz in some circles. That by itself makes him value at No. 37. He is Gil Brandt’s 33rd-ranked prospect. In his 2019 Draft Guide, Dane Brugler gives Harry a Round 2 grade and says he “wins downfield with his tracking skills and physicality to win body position, projecting as a solid No. 2 option or “big” slot in the NFL.”N’Keal Harry prospect profileKelvin Harmon — Offers the size at 6-foot- 1/2, 221 pounds, but not elite measurables. Brugler has a second-round grade on him, writing that “Harmon’s lack of an explosive top gear is bothersome, but he competes with outstanding play strength and the “my ball” mentality to track http://www.giantsfanshop.com/Oshane-Ximines-Jersey , adjust and finish.”Kelvin Harmon prospect profileIrv Smith — This is one that Waldman mentioned. Smith is Brandt’s 35-ranked player, though his saying the Alabama tight end is “not a good blocker” might be a turn off for the Giants. Brugler gives him a Round 2 grade and says “Smith is understandably young in areas, but he displays the athletic dexterity and natural ball skills to threaten every level of the defense, projecting as an NFL starter.” Irv Smith prospect profileMiles Boykin — Opinions on Boykin’s value are all over the map. I will put the 6-foot-3 3/4, 220-pound Notre Dame receiver here. Brandt lists him at No. 100, and Brugler No. 82 with a third-round value. Brugler calls Boykin “a premier athlete for his size with his best football in front of him (similar to Donte Moncrief as prospects), displaying the balance and body fluidity to develop into an NFL starter.”Day 3The Giants have eight selections on Day 3. Round 4 (108 and 132), Round 5 (142, 143, 171), Round 6 (180), Round 7 (232 and 245)Wide receiversJJ Arcega-Whiteside, a 6-foot-2, 225-pounder from Stanford is a name to know. This might be low for him. Perhaps he should be listed in the Round 3 discussion. Brugler says “he physically dominates at the catch point and projects as a specialized receiver who can be more with added refinement in his patterns.”Travis Fulgham (Old Dominion), Jalen Hurd (Baylor), Gary Jennings (West Virginia) Deandre Baker Jersey , Lil’Jordan Humphrey (Texas) and Jazz Ferguson (Northwestern State) are other bigger wide receivers who might draw attention from the Giants.A couple of other under-the-radar names who aren’t necessarily bigger receivers but are guys who some have indicated the Giants are intrigued by are Johnnie Dixon of Ohio State and Reggie White Jr. of Monmouth.Tight endFoster Moreau of LSU is a player who has drawn some attention during the draft process. Brugler says he is “a functional positional blocker with the athleticism and ball skills to be a steady downfield option, projecting as a low-ceiling, high-floor backup “Y” tight end.” Mock drafts remain convinced that the Giants will select Dwayne Haskins."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2016Giants vs. Eagles 2015, Week 17New York Giants News2019 NFL DraftTodd McShay Mock Draft 3.0: Another vote for Dwayne Haskins to the GiantsNew,51commentsMock drafts remain convinced that the Giants will select Dwayne Haskins.ESTShareTweetShareShareTodd McShay Mock Draft 3.0: Another vote for Dwayne Haskins to the GiantsBrian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsWith the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine over and the process leading up to the 2019 NFL Draft in a brief lull as free agency heats up, it’s a good time for mock drafts. The Combine has reshuffled draft boards and free agency has yet to (officially) shuffle team needs.But some things haven’t changed. In his latest mock draft for ESPN, Todd McShay still gives the New York Giants their quarterback for the future (they would hope), and despite Kyler Murray’s rise, it is a familiar face.Raptor’s Thoughts: McShay’s right, it does make sense. I’m still not convinced it even has a chance of happening, but it makes sense in a mock draft where we apply positional value and control variables by not allowing trades. But here’s the wild card: Dave Gettleman has said on the record after bypassing quarterback in 2018 that he believes the notion of positional value is a “crock.” If Gettleman has shown one thing in his time as a general manager between the Carolina Panthers and Giants, it’s that he believes in his board above all else. He has painted himself into something of a corner by bypassing the quarterback position to take Saquon Barkley, and in doing so enters what should be Eli Manning’s final year without a quarterback for 2020 (or beyond). So, going by that, the Giants pretty much have to take Haskins if he is available. However, Gettleman is a GM who believes in his beliefs http://www.giantsfanshop.com/Dexter-Lawrence-Jersey , and at the foundation of those beliefs is that you win by “running the ball and playing great defense.” So, if a player like Josh Allen slips out of the top 5, or Montez Sweat or Brian Burns have worked their way past Haskins and into the top 5 of Gettleman’s board, history suggests that he will punt on quarterback again. That’s leaving aside the very real possibility that a team doesn’t trade up for Haskins if Murray goes first overall. For instance, while the Jacksonville Jaguars are, apparently, working to sign Nick Foles, but they could want their own “heir/successor” plan — or simply don’t feel completely comfortable putting all their eggs in Nick Foles’ basket. There’s also the matter of their own dire cap situation, and trading on their expensive defensive talent could be how they free some of that money up while getting some return.So while Haskins would probably be a good, smart pick, it might not happen. Giants’ fans should at least consider the possibility that he won’t be there to be picked, and might not even be the pick if he is available.
