We knew all along that Dave Gettleman has an extreme love for both big men and the defensive tackle position, so the selection of Lawrence shouldn’t be much of a surprise. Lawrence is both of those things, at 6-foot-4, 342 pounds. But despite his size he was only at nose tackle for roughly 48 percent of his snaps at Clemson. Lawrence is stout against the run but didn’t offer much as a pass rusher at Clemson. Sports Info Solutions credits Lawrence with 4.5 sacks and 10.5 tackles for a loss over the last two seasons, though he did generate 45 pressures over that span. There are questions regarding Lawrence’s stamina and ability to play a heavy load of snaps, but with a rotation of B.J. Hill Authentic Christopher Slayton Jersey , Dalvin Tomlinson, and Dexter Lawrence, the Giants should be able to keep all three of their big linemen fresh. Each of the three tackles has the ability to play multiple positions on the defensive line and it will be very difficult to run up the middle on the Giants when all three are on the field.Lawrence is an impressive athlete, running a 5.05 second 40 yard dash at the NFL Combine (he did not complete the combine due to an injury suffered running the 40), and moves far better than a player who looks like a pure nose tackle should. Lawrence is a good player, but now the question is how the Giants will address their pass rush, which was among the worst in the league without Olivier Vernon. Dan Pizzuta and I ranked Lawrence as a fringe first-second round pick on the Big Blue View Big Board. The New York Giants’ season is almost over, and we are almost in to the 2019 off-season. It isn’t yet officially draft season Christopher Slayton Jersey Boys , but thanks to the Giants’ 1-7 start to the season, we had good reason to get started early. I put out my own mock draft what feels like an eternity ago, way back when the Giants held the number one overall pick. At the time, it didn’t look like the Giants would win another game this year. Then they ran into a stretch of games in which they faced teams which were injured, bad, starting back-up quarterbacks, or some combination of the above.Now, it looks like the Giants will be drafting somewhere in the latter part of top ten. And with Christmas looming (somehow it seems like it is way too early Youth Eli Manning Jerseys , and this season has taken forever to get to this point) I decided it was a good time to take a peek ahead to Draftmas and see what could be in store for the Giants.Before we get to the various picks themselves, I should note that the draft position of these various mock drafts will depend on when they were made. There are currently five teams tied with the Giants for record and draft position is incredibly fluid right now. Case in point, when I put together the post for the Giants’ current draft position on Monday morning, they held the eighth overall pick. Tuesday morning, following Monday Night Football, the Giants held the ninth overall pick. I noted the date of the various drafts just to try and avoid confusion. Mocking The Draft (12/17/18)The Draft NetworkJon Ledyard’s mock draft (12/17/18)Round table mock draft (12/14/18)Drafttek (12/11/18)Final ThoughtsI’m not going to offer my own thoughts on any of these picks. You can go click through to the various drafts and see which players are still on the board. Personally, I’m waiting until after the deadline for underclassmen to declare (January, 16th) Eli Manning Jerseys Stitched , to make my second attempt at a mock draft. Which underclassmen declare (and which choose to return to school) can have a huge effect on the draft board. Best example? Both Justin Herbert and Dwayne Haskins are mocked to the Giants up above, and both could return to school (and would certainly benefit from doing so). So, in the spirit of the coming holiday, I put the question to you Big Blue View: Which of these presents would you prefer for Draftmas?
