Happy Halloween Saquon Barkley Jerseys Stitched , everyone! We are about 10 hours away from officially being in the second half of the 2019 season, so that means it’s time for some way-too-early mock drafts to come out. Of course, it’s still the fall and that might be too soon for some to want to read about the upcoming draft, but the reality is that it is always draft season. NFL teams begin prepping for the next draft almost as soon as the current one ends, so it’s a good idea for us to keep an eye on the draft as well. Likewise, mock drafts give us a way to look at the current state and needs of the New York Giants. So then, does the new mock draft from our SB Nation sister-site Mocking The Draft have a trick or a treat for the Giants?(Yes. Yes, I had to make that pun.) 6. New York Giants: Jerry Jeudy, WR, AlabamaRaptor’s thoughtsDespite drafting at sixth overall, this very nearly became a nightmare scenario for the Giants. Fortunately LSU QB Joe Burrow has elevated his stock to the point where nobody would question him as a top-5 pick. While nabbing Chase Young would be a dream outcome for the draft, it’s unlikely that he falls out of the top 5, or even the top 3. Having both Andrew Thomas (OT Youth Will Hernandez Jerseys , Georgia) and Tristan Wirfs (OT, Iowa) off the board when the Giants pick is definitely less than ideal. The Giants will likely need a pair of offensive tackles over the coming off-season as their pass protection has not been anything like adequate. Kadar picks Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy to give them a true number one receiver and the kind of offensive threat the passing game is missing. Drafting a receiver at sixth overall might get criticized as a “luxury” pick at sixth overall, but given the schematic and economic realities of the NFL in 2019, they are cornerstone players. I think we can all agree that quarterback is, far and away, the most important position in football, both in impact and pay. Therefore, any position that directly help or disrupts a quarterback’s ability to function at a high level has to be a priority. The players that do that most directly are offensive tackle (left and right), EDGE, cornerback, and wide receiver. Obviously OT and EDGE protect and hit the QB (respectively), while corners can keep the ball in the QB’s hands or disrupt passes. Receivers who can overcome coverage, get open Will Hernandez Jerseys Stitched , expand passing windows, make plays, and score are incredibly valuable (as evidenced by their pay on the free agent market) and absolutely help their quarterbacks. Jeudy is probably the second best player in the country behind Chase Young. He has average size, listed at 6-foot-1, 192 pounds and good speed with a (reportedly) low to mid 4.4 second 40-yard dash. But where he truly shines is with his remarkably quick feet, detailed route running, exceptional play speed, and the ability to create and exploit mismatches by lining up all over the offensive formation. He is not the height-weight-speed freak many might want, but as a receiver in the mold of Amari Cooper and Odell Beckham Jr. he fits the archetype of a 1,000-yard receiver well.I would be sorely tempted to draft either S Grant Delpit from LSU or LB Isaiah Simmons from Clemson and shore up the second or third levels of the Giants’ defense. But considering the Giants have only scored more than 17 offensive points twice in their first 8 games, getting the offense help should be the top priority. Eli Manning recognizes that the numbers in a playbook aren’t the only important statistics.Manning wants children, including his three daughters, to have a strong set of financial skills.“I think it’s so important for kids to understand what it means to save Youth Lorenzo Carter Jerseys , to have a budget, to be smart about spending money,” the Giants’ 15th-year quarterback says. “I think the more you can introduce financial literacy to students at an early age, the more it’ll prevent them from making mistakes when they’re a young adult.”Manning and Giants rookie Saquon Barkley spoke to more than 100 local high school students about the importance of managing their finances before facing off in a head-to-head competition playing the latest version of Financial Football, a free video game designed to educate users on smart money decisions. Financial Football was created in a partnership between the NFL and Visa. The game challenges players to answer multiple choice and true or false questions to advance down the field in order to score a touchdown.With one in five teenagers in the United States lacking basic financial skills, Visa has teamed with 49 state governments and the District of Columbia to issue copies of the game to middle and high school students across the country.The free video game is available through iOS and Android apps and financialfootball.com.“It’s a fun interactive game for both adults and kids,” Manning says. “You get to play a game, but also answer questions and learn about your finances. It’s good for kids to start learning about the importance of financial literacy and to start saving their money.”“Involving football for the kids is a way for them to learn more interactively. Some of it is asking questions they might not know the answer to, but it might trigger their curiosity. It starts a conversation and I think it will help them down the line.”https://financialfootball.com/downloads
