fefi, I don't have an Avatar but I will call you Uncle if the Mets win the series.

I believe we did that with Tucker and Koy, the baby bulls.

I believe Leonard was taken early in Rd 2. Seriously do we play with a lineman in the backfield and simply expand the plays where we use him. Or something I'm starting to like - play both jacobs and Droughns at the same time. No one really knows which one is getting the ball and the other big fella blocks.

I was hoping we would get Brian Leonard but he went pretty early in Rd 2 as i recall. I'm not sure who is out there.

Big Red - Alex Webster

Josh Phelps, not an every day player starting his 17th game of the season and he has him swing away and hits into a douple play. I do not get it.

Wasn't Ike the one who caught a 4th down pass in the SB and incredibly carried 2 guys for the 1st down? Why are you guys arguing over this? We will all be delighted if Smith turns out as well as Ike and Amani. Keep in mind he was never the 1st receiver in college

Ron Dayne followed by Luke Pettipuke

Big B, senility IS setting in. Sorry Pal.

Boohyah, SUP man? Why are you denigrating my Giants my man? Since I am prolly the oldest fan on the Board, and have been through both the good - my first Championship was in '56 and 2 SB wins. But I have also been through many lean years. I am not overly optimistic about this season but YOU are woefully underestimating Jacobs. I saw him play in college and he was a beast at SIU. Hopefully we'll get him to run a little lower and that will help. Eli - the jury is still out but he has the pedigree and more than once it showed through. I expect this might be a make or break season for him. So I hope to see you posting more often after all you are my best bud when it comes to Boxing.

Until Jacobs started playing for the Jints he had a 6.7 ypc in all of his college career. I think he will be a tremendous RB.

I saw the kid play - he is very fun to watch and could be a real find for us. He has quickness and that vision thing that you can't teach so hopefully he will be a good one. I for one - with the exception of OT - think we had a very good draft.

Gee you mean Shockey should get his ass up here too? It looks like taking that kid from USC lit a fire under Burress' butt. :brooding:

Absolutely Boohyah, and our running game should be unreal. That should definitely help Eli. You all know we have seen flashes of brilliance from the kid. This year he must be consistent and we will have an outstanding year!

I agree he has tremendous upside and no downside - he is big fast and can cover. We know he can get after the QB so I think it's a good move. Tuck will play alot more this year spelling Osi and Strahan & watch the kid DeOssie. he will become a terrific player IMO. Fastest LB in the draft and the only knock was he played in the Ivy League. The good news he was a dominant player on a team that had few standouts as I recall so let's give this a wait & see attitude.

I can't believe this guy is still here - get rid of him.

Hey Jim, how the hell are you? Good to see you on the Board! I agree I lived in the Chicago area, Briggs is a big time player and prolly much of the success that Urlacher gets is because of him.

Thanks Guys - we sould pass on another malcontent type. We do not need anymore.

Fill me in on MIx I don't recall him.

It was prolly a toss up between Ross and the CB taken before him. I like this kid alot. He returns well and is a big hitter. Several mocks had us taking him.

Keep me posted on this guys. I have a webcam and I would be delighted to add my 2 cents in on any Giant's topic.

I agree. How could they pass on Quinn? They have nothing & write it down Brady Quinn will be a great NFL QB. I like Russel too but I think Quinn is more ready to play in the NFL than anyone. Besides how many times do you throw the ball downfield 80 yards? And who are his receivers? Cleveland had a phenomenal draft IMO. Screw Kipers.

Originally I wanted us to trade down and take Big Ben. Now I really believe this kid will be something special. I just absolutely hated giving up so much for him.

Thumper, I just think it's insurance. Shockey plays hurt and misses lots of time. This kid is extremely athletic, is like 6'7" & can jump 35" and he can run with the ball. I think it was a great pick. If DeOssie played for a major college he'd a been a 1st round pick. I love the kid.

I may up that to a B+ DeOssie was an absolute gift. He is big, smart and the fastest LB taken in the draft. He'll contribute right away on special teams and challenge for the long snapper job. Bradshaw & Johnson were solid late round picks. Ross is a big time Corner and hits like a bigger man. Other than the 3 pick and Koets I thought we were an A.
