jranieli Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 - talking about Nicks and not worried about the weight he put on - keeping all options open for a top WR - use Beckum as a HBack and cause nightmares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Has anyone noticed that the Giants have taken 4 offensive players out of the first 5 picks. That has absolutely got to be a first. Giants have always gone defense first. When they take offensive players, the alternate picks from defense to offense to defense to offense, etc. So....finally....the Giants must feel fairly comfortable with their defense (specially with their offseason pickups) because they are molding a monster offensive team here!

fishgutmartyr Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Now that's some breaking news right there.. lol What did you expect? Was some funny dialog between him and Gruden, though. Gruden: "Of course he likes me--He's 6-0 against me in his career!" Coughlin: "I'm trying to get you a job." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Coughlin seems to have opened right up as a coach, like Strahan was saying during that "America's Team" documentary thing Coughlin has turned a page and is just enjoying himself. I like to see that side of Coughlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense--our FA were all defenders--we're one of the best in the league on the line, we're strong in the secondary, and the only draft pick on D was towards our weakest squad: LB. We'll probably go for 1 more OL, and low-round secondary help. We needed at least two wide receivers, and we're screwed if Boss goes down. We drafted LTs no higher than 3rd round the past two years, and when MacKenzie was injured, we had to play Kevin Boothe. Beatty actually works, maybe he takes LT in 2010, and Diehl goes inside; that frees up Seubert to be Ruegamer+. Or Diehl goes RT if MacKenzie falls apart. That was where the need was.

I like to see that side of Coughlin. Me too. Of course that might be a function of the type of players he has now. This team's attitude is light years removed from the team he inherited in 2004.

Nas Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 From the New York Post: Hakeem Nicks WR, UNC • Round: First, 29th overall • Height: 6-1 • Weight: 212 Analysis: Big, strong body, huge hands and ability to make acrobatic catches. Can go over the middle, absorb hits and still hold on to the ball. Not exceptionally fast (40 timed in 4.51 seconds) and not great after the catch. Gained 14 pounds after the NFL Scouting Combine but has lost that weight since. Did you know? Nicks is 20 years old, coming out of college after his junior year and has such large hands that Nike needed to special-order 4XL gloves for him. Clint Sintim LB, Virginia • Round: Second, 45th overall • Height: 6-2 • Weight: 256 Analysis: Natural pass-rush ability. Excellent size, long arms and has shown the ability to play through injuries. Considered model citizen. Does not have great lateral mobility and little experience dropping into coverage. Did you know? Sintim holds the Virginia school record for most career sacks by a linebacker with 27, getting 20 in his last two seasons. William Beatty OT, UConn • Round: Second, 60th overall • Height: 6-6 • Weight: 307 Analysis: Quick and naturally athletic, light on his feet and can handle speed rushers. Not a huge frame, and plays with too much finesse. Did you know? Both of Beatty’s parents are pastors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 This next pick screams "kicker" to me. C'arn Reese, make my day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I predict the Giants will STILL get Braylon Edwards like the Saints got Shockey last year. I believe the Giants may toss in a player as well..... This has been a good draft, combine this with the free agent signings and Reese has adressed needs.

rphguy Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 OK. just got home from church and settled in at pc. We picked ? TE Travis Beckham as our last 3rd round pick. Wasn't TE Shawn Nelson from Southern Mississippi supposed to be ranked better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns dont want players they just got a bunch for the Jets for the 5th pick in the draft. They want picks, so unless we dip into next years draft picks he isnt even coming near our team. Besides Coughlin already said all these trade talks were nothing but rumors leading up to the draft, plus drafting two WRs and a pass catching TE makes me think we moved passed this whole Edwards/Boldin thing.

BleedinBlue Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 OK. just got home from church and settled in at pc. We picked ? TE Travis Beckham as our last 3rd round pick. Wasn't TE Shawn Nelson from Southern Mississippi supposed to be ranked better? Rankings are based mostly on this past college season. Beckum was injured in his senior year so fell...in some cases, right off "expert's" charts. Had he gone in his junior year, he would've been a top pick. Like I pointed out in an earlier thread, both Tuck and Kiwi fell because they were injured in their senior year and fell off most "experts" charts. And they worked out just fine.

BlueInCanada Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 6'0'' 224 Combine Results: 40 Yard Dash : 4.49 seconds Bench Press : 24.0 reps Vertical Jump : 37.0 inches Broad Jump : 115.0 inches 3 Cone Drill : 7.35 seconds 20 Yard Shuttle : 4.33 seconds Analysis Positives: Tall and thick in upper and lower bodies. Strong straight-ahead runner. Nimble enough to sidestep and find a running lane. Lowers his pads to run over tacklers. Will keep his legs churning in short-yardage situations and carry linebackers and safeties for a few yards. Able to stand up to blitzing linebackers. Productive receiver who is a mismatch against safeties in the open field. Negatives: Runs tall. Lacks elite speed, taking a few steps to get going. Inconsistent hands out of the backfield, body-catches too often. Tends to dance in the hole if there is anyone in his sight. Does not have the quickness to make defenders miss once stopped. Must have more awareness of blitzers off the edge. Injury Report 2007: Sat out the East Carolina, Virginia, Miami and North Carolina games after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured bone in his left foot suffered in the Florida State clash. 2008: Again broke the bone in his left foot during spring drills, undergoing a second surgical procedure. Seems like insurance if our bruiser back Jacobs goes down and we need to punch it in from 3rd and short. Edit: NFL Pick Analysis:Brown is a steal at this point in the draft. The Giants do a good job with picking their players. He really made a name for himself at the Senior Bowl and flashed outstanding skills. He's got receiving talent and gives the Giants a great replacement for Derrick Ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
