Blue Wire.

Welcome back.

This is the Big Blue Banter.

New York Giants Football Podcast.

I'm Dan Schneier.

Joined is always my co-host, Nick Bellato.

And today we're lucky because we're joined by a person that I recently, at least, came into on Twitter.

I would say maybe two years ago, started loving his work on the draft,

and then we connected a little bit just through replies.

And finally, now I get the opportunity with Nick to talk draft with him.

And that's Damien Parson of the Lockdown NFL Draft Network and a scout and analyst

for draft network, which I'm sure all of you are very well aware of.

You can find him on Twitter at DP underscore NFL. I asked him before the show because we've talked a bunch on Twitter, but we haven't talked like name-wise. And I asked him a bunch.

Live reactions after that.

Yep.

All right.

Let's start this off fun.

Let's start to do a little bit of a my guys kind of show. So I want to hear who some of your guys are in this draft class name. And then we'll talk about if they may be fit what the Giants want to do. Oh, man. Josh Downs, wide receiver out of North Carolina, it's one of my favorite receivers in this entire class. I know a lot of people are big size enthusiasts. For me, it's all about building my receiver core like a basketball team. You know what I mean? I always say you can't win with five Shaquille O'Neils. You can't win with five Joelle and Bs. You need a point guard. You guard you're shooting guard you need a slasher you
