Started to look closer at the NFL draft. I really like the NC State QB Ryan Finley at 17 or in the second round for the Giants. I was wrong to think Stidham is a good value play at QB, guess their are some red flags about his ability to progress through the receivers. Seems the Giants are a lock for D at number 6 according to all the best reporters.
I watched some film about Sweat at DE who might be there for the Giants. I was unimpressed. I don’t think his 6’6’’ skinny frame will translate in the NFL despite his blazing speed. Too tall to consistently bend around OLs. Not very good against the run, very bad in space at open field tackles (not that he should find himself in that position too often, but he would need to defend against the flat where this matters. The NY Post’s mock draft has the Giants taking Wilkins with 6 even though we have BJ Hill and Tomlinson already. I think Wilkins is a safe pick to have a productive DT for many years that is equally effective against the pass and run where Sweat could very well be a boom or bust guy.
