BigBlueDFW - Mock Draft Pick 1.0

As free agency slows down, we begin to move closer to Draft Day 2017. Fans of BigBlueDFW look forward to picking the first round talent they believe will make their way to the New York Giants, and provide bragging rights to the individual who picked the correct player. Historically, the Giants believe in a philosophy of drafting the best player available. While I believe they won’t deter from this, there are years where you still have to draft a best player available at a position of need. This is one of those years. Baring a slip of a can’t miss talent, I believe the Giants will look towards a player that fits the culture and necessary needs of the team.

For the 2017 Draft, the New York Giants select…….. Garrett Bolles, OT, Utah.

In recent years the Giants have seen how both a solidified offensive and defensive line controls the tempo of the game. Limited contribution from the running game proves the point that the offensive line needs work. With a 6’5” frame and 34” long arms, Bolles has the body of a lineman that can work inside or outside. With John Jerry resigned for three more years, DJ Fluker on a one year deal, and Bobby Hart having gained some experience, the Giants have the ability to bring Bolles along slowly somewhere along the right side. He offers depth along the line should someone get hurt. While a little undersized, with regards to weight and mass on his 297lb frame, the ability to play multiple positions offers the Giants front line a versatile player who can move as needed. Something we haven’t seen since the days of David Diehl. As an added bonus, according to NFL.com, “he brings a mean streak and loves to finish.”

Based on what we’ve seen this year, the cost of an experienced lineman through free agency does not seem the cost-effective way to pursue depth at the position. Limited improvement from Ereck Flowers and missing out on the opportunity to grab Laremy Tunsil proved costly to the Giants.  While I would love Cam Robinson, or Ryan Ramczyk, I can imagine the other NFL teams will also be excited to bolster the Offensive Line through the NFL draft.

Stay tuned for further BigBlueDFW fan picks for the 2017 NFL Draft.

Giants vs Cowboys Tailgate Raffle....and IT'S FREE!!!

Yet another reason you don't want to miss the tailgate this year. We'll be introducing a raffle to the tailgate. I'm not talking trinket items. We're talking MEMORABILIA!!! What's the cost??? NOTHING. This raffle is completely free to show our love for the Giants fans who choose to show up at the tailgate. So come on out and join the rest of the NY Giants family as we party it up before the Giants play the Cowboys.

Giants vs Cowboys 2014 - Tailgate Information

Click here for more info from the www.meetup.com/BigBlueDFW page. 

If you're unable to attend the game - you're still welcome to watch it at Buffalo Joe's. Since most of us will be at the game - the crowd might be a little lighter than normal.

For those of you that are able to attend the game - there are some details to pass along if you're interested in joining us for the tailgating festivities:

We will be tailgating in Silver Lot 13. (It's Southeast of the Stadium at the corner of Legends Way and Sanford Street). Since we won't know an exact location yet - we should be on the east side of the lot along the grass parking spots...basically the perimeter of the lot. (I've included a parking map below for illustration).

NOTE - Not everyone has to have a Silver Lot 13 Parking Pass. Most people find parking elsewhere (another parking pass, cash lot, etc) and join us at Lot 13. Feel free to join us at any time prior to the game.

Since we never know how many people to expect - we've decided to make it easy and do a "BYOB" and a "BYOF"...bring your own beer and bring your own food. Basically - if you want to eat something specific- bring it. If you want to drink something - bring it. We'll have a grill there for anyone that wants to use it and a fair amount of cooler space too. If you're traveling from out of town, we should have plenty of food to share. Keep in mind, cash donations are welcome and appreciated. All extra cash goes to group supplies and costs only.

Our plan is to be there around 10:30an (or as soon as they let us in the gate).

So come out and get an early start with the BigBlueDFW crew. It's pretty much a guaranteed good time!

Win or lose - we'll be there after the game - so join us for some post game fun!

With The 7th Round Pick of the 2014 NFL Draft, The New York Giants Select......

Jon Beason, Linebacker out of the University of Miami.....Sort of....

As most of you know, this is a tad bid inaccurate. The Giants traded their 2014 7th round pick to the Carolina Panthers for Jon Beason in the 2013 NFL season. The best part about this trade? We've already seen what this guy can do. The 7th round pick is usually regarded as a project draft pick. (Ahmad Bradshaw may go down as the best 7th round draft pick the Giants have ever had.) Beason resigned with the Giants and solidifies himself with a defensive roster spot. Not only as a solid linebacker, but a natural team leader. This Mic'ed up video on Giants.com helped to remind me of how valuable of a trade this turned out to be. Here's to seeing what he can do in 2014.

Who Doesn't Love a Great Story

For the sixth time in eight years the NY Giants have drafted a running back in the NFL draft. Most of us know that the running back position doesn't seem to carry the same early round draft significance it once did. This year the Giants decided to dedicate their fourth round pick to a Heisman finalist running back out of Boston College. We all know Tom Coughlin's affiliation with  BC. That said,  I for one, am very excited about the fourth round pick of Andre Williams. I've heard that Andre Williams fell in the draft due to his limiting capabilities of being able to catch in the back field. I could care less.

While I'd like the added bonus of a pass catcher, I'd love an old school back who can handle the ball, run it up the middle  and show the fans that he's old school Giants football. I think that NFL football today tends to focus too much on hybrid player positions. I'm happy with tradition. Show the division rivals what it feels like to have a ball carrier deliver a shove to the chest. Just like ole Jack Burton used to say.

While we wait for the new season, take a moment to enjoy an article for our former NJ Star Ledger Giants beat writer Jenny Vrentes, who leaves us with a fascinating story about Andre Williams and his NFL draft experience.
