ppodlesny Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I thought for sure they were going LB in round 1 but when the LBers were coming off the board then WR was a no brainer....I like what I see from this Nicks kid on the highlight reels....big strong kid, could come in and produce right away...I also like the fact they address the LB and OL positions in round 2, both positions I felt needed to be addressed right away....not sure why they took another reciever, rb and QB, but they must have been rated to the level as to where they were taken.

The rb is a steal from what I've read. Reese said Bomar was too much value to pass up at the spot and he wanted a good competition between the youngsters for the number two spot next year when Carr's gone. The other reciever is an enigma. Hard to pass up. A supreme physical specimen with good speed for his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman329 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 A word of caution: I saw somewhere a listing of the last 8 WR's the Giants drafted. Between them, they had a total of 40 catches their first year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 does this mean the Sinorice Moss experiment is over? One would think so !!! Just a guess but here ya go: Nix Smith Hixon Tyree Manningham Bardon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 does this mean the Sinorice Moss experiment is over? I think it's going to depend on the health and development of the other receivers as they go through camp. If someone gets banged up, they may put them on PUP to start the year, then Moss will be retained. But, should everyone be healthy, and not be a total disaster, then I think Moss will be cut. Smith, Nicks, Barden, Manningham, and Hixon have to be considered safe. So it's really between him and Tyree, and I think a healthy Tyree provides much more value because of specials, and due to that Moss is the odd man out.

Between them, they had a total of 40 catches their first year. None of those guys were Hakeem Nicks! I think this is going to be different for two reasons. One is because of the NFL body that Nicks has... he is a big physical receiver so he won't be intimated by NFL DB's. Secondly, there is that gaping hole at the 1 spot and I'm inclined to believe that the Giants want Nicks to start there over Hixon. Of course he will have to earn it, but they drafted him to be the kind of player that can do it all, and haul in anything thrown in his direction. The Giants need a guy like Nicks to play well and right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a veteran presence in the lockeroom for the WR group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Good point Martin. Tyree is the new elder statesman out of that group... with it being so young, they really do need him to be a mentor and show the young guys what kind of work ethic it takes to be in the NFL.

Sephiroth Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 does this mean the Sinorice Moss experiment is over? Nah, he's actually going to be our #4 or better WR. Heck, he might be #1 on opening day! Just ask Tree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
