Maualuga's still in the board... come on G-MEN!
TMS @ 4/25/2009 7:10 PM
Hakeem Nicks it is... hope he's the goods... was hoping for Kenny Britt or Maualuga.
SupremeCommander @ 4/25/2009 7:16 PM
I'm very, very happy with Hakeem Nicks. Of all the guys I watched last year, I was most impressed with him. HAving said that, I still don't think the Giants have enough rostered to get the 8th dude out of the box. I like the corps three years from now, but not this coming season.
TMS @ 4/25/2009 7:25 PM
we still have 9 picks, i think a trade will still go down, probably for Edwards now if anyone... can we PLEASE move up to nab Maualuga now???
VDesai @ 4/25/2009 7:25 PM
Nicks is an awesome player. I liked Britt slightly better but Nicks reminds me of Boldin. I heard we may still have a deal for Braylon.
TMS @ 4/25/2009 7:42 PM
there goes Laurinaitis before Maualuga.

TMS @ 4/25/2009 8:43 PM
our 2nd round pick:

big & strong but not too fast... looks like a player tho... i'm fine w/this pick... we needed to shore up WR & LBer & Reese did that w/the first 2 picks... good job.

I trust Reese in the draft so anyone he gets I feel good about. I just think they needed to get that top-flight WR and they didn't do it. Oh well.
VDesai @ 4/25/2009 11:02 PM
Sintim is a good player. He will start at the SAM backer position probably in the next 2 seasons. Good passrusher. Not a crazy athlete, but a smart player. TC is close with Al Groh the UVA coach.

He's also close with Randy Edsall, the UConn coach. Beatty was one of the OLinemen I listed in my earlier post.

Barden was also on my list. 6'6" Plax clone without the atttiude. And we also took an awesome recieving TE in Travis Beckum. Suddenly we are flush with huge, talented targets for Eli.

We just took a power back from NC State Andre Brown who can step in and replace D.Ward. Check out this vid of him squashing a safety-

Ramses Barden is a freak. 36 TD's in the last 2 yrs. As a Jr., he averaged 25+ ypc on about 60 catches!

love those highlights... he's running fade routes to the corner on just about every play, just like how Eli liked to use Plax in the red zone... we really missed that big target to throw to in the red zone on 1 on 1 coverage last year when we lost Plax... i hope this guy can stick, he's got some great height at the WR position.

our other 2nd round selection... OT out of Uconn

question to V, how did we get the pick to select Barden? it says we got the pick through the Eagles... did we make a trade w/them?

We traded up to get him- gave up one of extra 5th rounders (the 164th pick).

I saw UConn quite a few times and this guy was a flat out stud. Constantly got to the 2nd level to block for Donald Brown. That guy got 2000 yards b/c of this kids performance. When McKenzie's contract is up, this kid may play LT with Diehl shifting back to RT.

nice... Jerry Reese is freakin' MONEY!
VDesai @ 4/26/2009 2:34 PM
This has been A grade draft. We have hit all of our needs with top notch players. Reese is locked in right now.
SupremeCommander @ 4/26/2009 2:38 PM
Andre Brown will likely be the best of the day 2 selections thus far
