Giants Draft: Just Three More Days

Just three more days and we'll know who the Giants will take with their first top 15 pick since 2004.   While I really hope they will choose to build a stronger OL with this draft, and that Zack Martin is the best starting place for such,  I think they could feel they have a chances to get an elite playmaker, in which case, they might go that route.   So, as of now, I think it will be Martin or Odell Beckham Jr..  I don't think they will use the first pick on D.   And if they do go with Beckham, they really, really have to get Joel Bitonio with their second rounder.   It would be assbackward, since if they went Martin in 1, they'd have their pick of Giant Type Power Receivers in the second round.   Doing it this way, makes them pray Bitonio is there in 2.   We'll see what happens.   I do think Beckham is right behind Watkins as best WR in the class, and he's a great return man.

He doesn't have major length or  ups like Allen Robinson for the jump balls, but he does has pure speed and sick hips, his three cone was 6.69 and his short shuttle was 3.94.   So he can break ankles with the ball in his hands both after the catch and on returns.  And he's got huge 10 inch hands for the secure catches.  At the beginning of the process, I thought he might be in that second round group, but the more I studied the receivers, I didn't really see anything Watkins can do that Beckham can't also do.  He's a power guy for his size, so it's possible they can play him on the outside.  He's faster than Nicks with even better stop and go, though Nicks was slightly bigger and had longer arms.   Both are pure football players.
