WHAT A CRAZY FIRST ROUND...I'm so ******** pissed!!! stressed

Anyways, I was posting here for most of the draft, LOL: http://myespn.go.com/s/conversations/show/story/4418963

Wow, Giants...

I'm still mad. Firstly, I'm angry about how some of the teams picking at the top screwed over the entire first round. McClain to the Raiders at #8 had me breaking down. Spiller going at #9 to the Bills pissed me off too. We were the most affected team, while other teams thrived. It was like a NASCAR wreck or something... Secondly, I question the Giants' decision itself. Unless JPP becomes a total stud or establishes himself to be better than D Morgan / D Williams / B Bulaga / S Weatherspoon, then I will still not support the selection. That pick just didn't make sense for the Giants. I don't get how Coughlin and Reese were on the same page here. We could have traded back; look how easy it was this year, and look at some of the great prospects that dropped!

I've mentioned way too many times that we are fine at DE with Tuck and Umenyiora (and Kiwanuka). It looks like we're not even making any trades, so our depth and talent is fine at the position. JPP is a huge risk, and is a project player. Another big contract for a DE, who will from what I've heard, "receive limited playing time while getting worked in." How would we use him effectively, and how will we be able to juggle all these big time DEs for the long-term? Oh, and...JPP wasn't even the best DE on the board!

I'm just pretty angry, because we all know that this wasn't the most intelligent decision, unless something's REALLY up...

Since the Giants made a senseless pick with JPP, who knows unpredictable today (and the rest of the draft) will be?

I have a plan for what the Giants should do. We should trade Kiwanuka and our third rounder for another second rounder. Then with our two second round picks, we can select Daryl Washington (MLB) and Brian Price (DT). Then we could draft Ed Wang (OT) in the fourth round, Deji Karim (RB/KR) in the fifth round, Zoltan Mesko (P/K) in the sixth round, and Kavell Conner (SOLB) in the seventh round.

Nope but close.

I'm satisfied. Got a solid Back-Up QB in Clausen, a possible #2 Receiver in Brandon LaFell and another decent player in Armanti Edwards. Edwards played QB for App State, but he will be playing WR for the Panthers.

I see the Panthers taking a DT with the 124th Pick.

Of course this draft makes the Giants better. We got a lot of solid players. We added some quality depth, and the Giants will host a lot of competition. I just question some of the picks, because there were some more desirable options available. The Giants could have had a better draft. I feel like we could have been big winners if we took some better players on the board. No, we weren't draft losers like some lower NFL franchises. But I think we had a chance to be draft winners, yet didn't capitalize...


The Giants entered this draft with a need at MLB. McClain was probably our top option, but he was gone early. Maybe guys like Weatherspoon, Washington, Lee, and Spikes weren't really favored by Reese (who liked to use his early draft picks). But what angers me most is that once we actually did take a MLB, it was Dillard over the better Chaney. Jamar Chaney was passed up by us in the fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds, until the Eagles jumped ahead of us to take him in the seventh (are you wondering why?). We opted for Dillard, an oft-injured MLB who played behind the best DT in the college game (Suh). Chaney was one of the top MLBs in this draft. He was the most athletic MLB in the draft, he has a great overall skill-set, and was a one man show at Mississippi State. He would have been perfect for our defense, and would have been a great value pick.

I'm just extremely pissed that we passed up on Daryl Washington in the second, and Jamar Chaney in the fourth, fifth, and sixth. Those two would have been very good MLBs for us, and both fell right into our laps (Chaney multiple times). Considering how far he fell, Jamar Chaney was right there for the taking. Not selecting him was the worst move by the Giants this draft, in my opinion. Kirk Morrison would have also been a solid alternative...

They do, they told me so. We got really lucky, we went from having maybe one QB to now having 3 potential QB's and a guy that can throw from the wildcat.

Yeah and we did it with out a first rounder.

sad it seems like we never have a full seven picks.
