Why do so many expert analysts have the Giants taking Scherff?

[TCB]

Is their offensive line so much worse than ours?
They pick 9th, so is that the cut off to start taking a guard? Or do the Gmen plan on using him at tackle at least for a while?

Is it that these experts are used to us taking edge rushers?
Do they think the Giants fit the mold for the tough offensive lineman like Scherff?

Seems like a lot of conditioned brains out there.
Well, they can think whatever they want. We have a new Football guy in town who might get them to change their way of thinking pretty soon.

First Schreff is an OT although some people say he might be a better fit at Guard. In any case like us, the Giants do need both at present. While many here and in other sites speculate that he isnt worthy of a top five or even a top ten pick, how many times have we seen guys deemed not worthy out perform their eventual draft position??

There are a lot of questions around Schreff. First is where he can play. Second is his combine performance. It wasn't great. This all leads to legitimate questions if he is worth a top 10 pick. We can't afford another whiff with this pick. If we can trade back, he comes into play.

He has played mostly Tackle. He can help a team at either Tackle or Guard. We can plug him in at RT or either Guard right now. So top 9 is ok in over 50 percent of the mocks?

So the real question becomes, would he be a reach at 5?? I dont think so, but then again IM a bit biased on this one.

This might be a classic example of drafting for need which can be risky. Scot has already said is is taking BPA reagardless of position. I don't see us taking him at 5.
