New York Giants Draft OG Mitch Petrus in Round 5

April 24, 2010

The New York Giants have selected OG Mitch Petrus from Arkansas with the 147th overall pick in round five. He is 6’3″ 310 pounds and athletic. Jerry Reese must have a crystal ball or lucky horseshoe on him at all times, because this guy knows how to draft football players. Besides surprising a lot of the Big Blue faithful with taking four straight defensive players, Jerry Reese has also won over the majority in his fourth straight year as the Giants GM. There is a future GM of the Year award in your future Jerry, leave an open space for it over the mantle. I love watching the methodical War Room do their thing. This is one big chess game and the Giants have been addressing areas of need with surgical precision. There has not been a dull moment once this year.

The Giants needed to grab an offensive lineman (Yes, I have been talking about it all weekend) and they pulled the trigger. They take an offensive guard in round five and inch closer to closing out the final day of the 2010 NFL Draft. I would not be surprised to see another offensive lineman taken or a cornerback. The Giants next draft pick is 184th overall in round six. There is no way to know what Jerry Reese is going to do. The man is in the zone this year and it’s a pleasure to watch it unfold. Welcome to New York Mitch!

What do you think about the New York Giants fifth round selection of OG Mitch Petrus? Here is a link to his CBS Sports player profile.

New York Giants Draft LB Phillip Dillard in Round 4

April 24, 2010

As a special surprise to the New York faithful, former Giants TE Mark Bavaro announced the Giants fourth round pick, LB Phillip Dillard. He is 6’0″ 245 pounds and played the ILB position with Nebraska. The Giants continue their defensive assault by grabbing a fourth consecutive defensive player. This was certainly a need for the team and something I knew would come sooner or later. We will have to do a little homework on Dillard and see where this inside linebacker fits into the scheme. I’m more convinced the Giants will make the current LB’s fight it out in training camp for the starting role. It’s nice to see a new player thrown into the mix.

Jerry Reese is having an outstanding draft so far through four picks. This might actually be a record for the Giants though. I cannot remember them ever taking four defensive players in a row. It is clear that Jerry Reese wants new defensive coordinator Perry Fewell to succeed. This is a wonderful example of a GM setting up his DC for success. Once again, Mr. Reese does not hesitate to attack a problem area and close the book on it. By Monday morning, Giants fans will have to nitpick at player depth at certain positions, because we all know that Jerry Reese has done everything he can do to improve this squad.

The Giants next pick in the fifth round at the 147th pick overall. I don’t see how Big Blue doesn’t go with an offensive lineman in round five. I have been saying this since round three though, so don’t mind me. I didn’t see them taking a DE in round one and it messed up the rest of my picks. With the remaining 3 picks, a CB is almost guaranteed for new DC Perry Fewell. Does that mean that the team will come away with only two offensive picks out of seven? Welcome to New York Phillip!

What do you think about the New York Giants selecting LB Phillip Dillard in the fourth round. Here is some video of him on the CBS Sports player profile.

NYG Reporter LIVE 2010 NFL DRAFT SPECIAL: Day Three

April 24, 2010

Hey Giants Fans, we are now about 30 minutes away (10AM EST) from the start of final day of the 2010 NFL Draft. The Giants next pick is at 115th overall in the fourth round.

What do you think about the team stealing Chad Jones in Round 3? This is going to turnout to be one of the better picks in recent memory. I’m very excited to get these three guys into training camp and see them perform. I believe that all three of these players will see playing time in 2010. I don’t know what will happen with Jason “Wild Thing” Pierre-Paul, the sky is the limit for this guy. Linval Joseph is the most interesting pick of the three, for me at least. I knew a lot more about Pierre-Paul and Jones before the draft, then I did about Joseph. It will be interesting to see what direction the team takes today on “Day Three” of the 2010 NFL Draft. Most seem to agree that the team will draft an offensive lineman at some point. It’s now or never because the draft ends tonight.

I have to admit, I was one of those who thought the team would have an OL by this point. I also thought there was a strong chance the team would have a LB. I feel like I’m the victim of an April Fools joke with Jerry Reese’s brilliance, once again amazing all in his path.

Today, the Giants will continue to draft rounds 4-7 to complete the 2010 NFL Draft. The Giants have taken three defensive players in a row, clearly sending a message that Jerry Reese does not tolerate sub-par defensive performance. The Giants are known for being a tough team who build on defense. The second half of last season felt like I was like getting a root canal each weekend. The team does not want to feel that way again and have made moves to avoid it this year. Jerry Reese is going to have to win GM of the Year one of these years. I know this is only is fourth year as the Giants GM but he deserves it.

What do you think? Who should the Giants target in round four? Don’t forget to comment on this story if you have something to say. We will be doing LIVE coverage of all the Giants moves here. Check back with the comment area for updates throughout the day.

New York Giants Draft S Chad Jones in Round 3

April 23, 2010

The New York Giants have taken safety Chad Jones with the 76th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. He is 6’2″ 221 pounds and played at LSU. I absolutely love this pick. I have been talking about Chad Jones for a very long time. This is without a doubt a very high value pick for 76th overall. A lot of experts had Chad Jones ranked as a second rounder, including myself. I was hoping the Giants could find a way to grab this kid and develop him. The New York Giants now have one of the most fearsome safety rotations/tandems in the NFL. Kenny Phillips, Antrel Rolle and Chad Jones, Wow! Jerry Reese is doing work in 2010. Perry Fewell must be in a state of ecstasy over the players he will be coaching in his first year with the team.

Jerry Reese has held on to all of his picks through the first three rounds. Big surprise right? I am extremely proud of the work they are doing and give the Giants an “A” grade for the first three rounds. I can’t imagine what is going to happen tomorrow morning when the draft resumes.

I could not be happier that safety Chad Jones is now a New York Giant. Welcome to New York Chad!

Let’s take a look at who the Giants have drafted thus far.

Round 1 – DE Jason “Wild Thing” Pierre-Paul

Round 2 – DT Linval Joseph

Round 3 – S Chad Jones

What do you think about the New York Giants third round pick S Chad Jones? Here is some video on him form the CBS Sports player profile.

Remember to come back tomorrow morning for the final NYG Reporter LIVE segment. “Day Three” of the 2010 NFL Draft begins tomorrow morning at 10:00AM EST. The Giants will be drafting in rounds 4-7.

New York Giants Select DT Linval Joseph in Round 2

April 23, 2010

The New York Giants decided to take DT Linval Johnson with the 46th overall pick. The Giants are making a statement by drafting two defensive lineman in a row. This is a very good pick for the G-Men who seem to be working their way into the middle from the outside in. They took care of the safety position via free agency and now have taken two defensive lineman back to back. Jerry Reese is on a mission and I’m liking it. Defense wins Championships. New defensive coordinator Perry Fewell is going to have some fun with these two guys for certain. The Giants scouts have once again proven to be among the best in the NFL and I believe the Giants will take an offensive lineman with the third round pick. I cannot remember a time when the New York Giants have drafted three defensive players in a row, with the top three picks during a draft.

The defensive linemen are going to have a battle come training camp, just like the linebacker corps. Those are two areas worth watching closely and enjoying during the 2010 Training Camp. Linval Joseph is a very big man standing 6’4″ 328 pounds and he played college ball at East Carolina. He had 39 reps with the bench press at the combine as well. This will only help the defensive tackle position. Only time will tell, if he performs better then LB Brandon Spikes and LB Sean Lee who were both available at this pick for the Giants. Personally, I think Joseph will have an immediate impact on the defensive line. Welcome to New York Linval!

What do you think about the New York Giants second round selection of DT Linval Joseph?

PS – ESPN went to a commercial and ruined seeing the Giants pick LIVE and we never saw them make their pick. Really ESPN? You’re doing a show LIVE from New York City and miss airing the hometown teams draft pick? Really ESPN? And all on the 75th Anniversary of the NFL Draft?

NYG Reporter LIVE 2010 NFL DRAFT SPECIAL: Day Two

April 23, 2010

The 2010 NFL Draft, Round 2 will begin TONIGHT at 6:00 PM EST. Rounds 2-3 will be done TONIGHT and Rounds 4-7 on Saturday beginning at 10:00 AM EST.

The 2010 NFL Draft began last night and there weren’t many big moves made. At least, none by the New York Giants who sat quietly and waited for the 15th pick to arrive. The Giants decided that DE Jason “Wild Thing” Pierre-Paul was too much to let pass by. I did some research on this guy before the draft and knew he was on the Big Blue radar. A ton of people had predicted round one would end exactly like this and to them I say, well done. Pierre-Paul is a raw talent who is a freak of nature. He is a big guy at 6’4 3/4″ 270 pounds. He can add a lot of muscle to that hustle and bulk up to 280-285 with no problem. The Giants still need to get themselves a linebacker, unless the team has already decided to start one of the current guys. This is something I would not be opposed to since we have some veterans who have spent their entire careers with the team, LB Chase Blackburn in particular. LB Jonathan Goff and LB Bryan Kehl have been getting some votes of support as well. Is there such a thing as MLB by committee? We know there will not be a rookie starting this season, that’s for certain.

I believe that today will be the day that the team comes away with a new linebacker. I’m happy with the teams first round pick but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit surprised they choose that route. I know a lot of the players the G-Men targeted were gone way before they had a chance to pick. I thought for certain the team would take an offensive lineman if they didn’t choose a linebacker. I thought that C Pouncey would be a terrific fit for the team. Pouncey ended up getting selected three picks later by the Steelers. Pierre-Paul seems like the real deal, though he needs some polishing and coaching at this level. I would have to guess that the Giants will choose an offensive lineman tonight and possibly a linebacker or defensive tackle. Perhaps, the team will come away with two of the three positions I have mentioned.

Many have speculated that DE Osi Umenyiora’s job might be in jeopardy now that Pierre-Paul was drafted. Giants GM Jerry Reese was quick to kill that noise, by repeating what he has been saying all along, “Osi will not be traded!”. I believe Osi is owed roughly $10 million dollars over the next 3 years, so it would make financial sense to keep him, as well as for his talent level.

Who do you think the New York Giants will take with their second and third round picks in the 2010 NFL Draft tonight?

What did you think about the New York Giants taking DE Jason Pierre-Paul with the 15th overall pick last night?

New York Giants Draft DE Jason Pierre-Paul in Round 1

April 22, 2010

The New York Giants have selected DE Jason Pierre-Paul. A very explosive defensive end at 6’5″ 270 pounds that played at South Florida. He is known as a menace to opposing Quarterbacks. Jerry Reese was not please with the play of the Giants defensive ends. Some of the guys on the ESPN LIVE crew were comparing him to Javon Kearse by calling him a “freak” of nature with long powerful arms. The entire television panal agrees that Paul will be a very good pro player. They also made a comment that this might mean that current DE Osi Umenyiora might have something to worry about. Osi has now been mentioned  as possible trade fodder for Big Blue and Jerry Reese was quick to dismiss the rumors. I am going to christen Jason with a brand new nickname that fits his playing style, from this day forth, ye shall be known as, Jason “Wild Thing” Pierre-Paul.

Former coach Jon Gruden and the overview on DE Pierre-Paul at NFL.com all say that he should be able to put on another 10-15 pounds with ease bulking him up to 280-285 pounds at 6’5″. I’m still a bit concerned about the linebacker position. There seems to be two main areas that the team should draft shortly. I still believe that OL and LB are two areas that need addressing. Perhaps they will select one of the two, sometime tomorrow, in rounds two or three. Welcome to New York Jason!

What do you think about the Giants taking a defensive end with the first overall pick?

Here is an NFL.com link to some video on the Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul. I encourage you to watch all three very short videos about Pierre-Paul, especially the top video, this is what I like to call a MUST SEE VIDEO of Pierre-Paul doing summersaults over and over again at 270 pounds. This guy really is a freak of nature like the ESPN crew said. A hyperlink has been left in the comment section of this story as well.

2010 NFL Draft: New York Giants Part 3

April 21, 2010

The waiting is almost over for NFL fans. We are now just about 24 hours away (4/22/10 7:30 PM EST) from “Day One” of the 2010 NFL Draft. I have heard complaints from many football fans about the new 3-day format for draft coverage and I agree with them. It’s too long Roger! I am of the opinion, that it will be short lived and the NFL will return to the traditional 2-day NFL Draft weekend by next year. Enough with the advertising revenue you expect to make from extending it to three days and think about the fans in this situation. At least, we hope you will. Tonight should be a night for all Giants fans to exhale. You’ve done your research, you know what the team needs are and there is nothing left to do but wait for the clock to start tomorrow evening.

All signs point to the New York Giants taking a linebacker with their first pick. The team cut Antonio Pierce earlier in the year and have yet to replace him. When I took another look at the linebacker position on paper, I found that they really aren’t in a desperate situation at all there. In fact, it might be one of the more deeper positions on the team, even if there are no star names attached to it. I’m convinced that the G-men will take a linebacker no later then day two, if not on day one. The most popular names being throw out there are LB Rolando McClain and LB Sean Weatherspoon. We will have to wait and see.

Some Giants fans have been talking about grabbing running back CJ Spiller with the first pick. Personally, I do not think the kid will be available that late in round one. I also do not think the team has to be concerned with the running back position this year. Jacobs and Bradshaw will be healthy and Ware and Brown will be there for depth. If I were giving odds on the Giants taking a running back in round one, they would be 50 to 1. Of course, if Spiller is staring them in the face at pick fifteen, it might be hard to overlook. If the team does take Spiller, then a current running back (possibly DJ Ware) will almost certainly be cut not long after.

One extremely interesting scenario would be if WR Dez Bryant is still around at the 15th pick (most experts predict that he will be). I seriously doubt the Giants would take wide receivers in back to back drafts but this kid could turn out to be something special. If the targeted linebackers and offensive linemen are off the board by the time Big Blue picks, I would not be surprised at all if the G-men took Bryant. And by taking Bryant, the team could then cut the recently re-signed Sinorice Moss. This is unlikely to happen but would not surprise me. You heard it here first, wink wink.

Other then the linebacker position, the Giants need some help with their offensive line. Not because the current linemen are poor players but because the team needs some depth in that area. I have serious doubts about LB McClain being available when the G-men pick, so the next logical area to explore would be the offensive line. The team will need to look towards the future and grab a Center or Guard for certain and probably one of each position. OT William Beatty seems to have gained the teams confidence with his play in 2009 and should see more playing time this year. Anything can happen on draft day and the rumors about a possible Osi Umenyiora trade continue to circulate the web. At this point, I’m exhausted and drained from all of the talk, rumors, speculation and analysis and I’m ready to get this thing started. What do you think? Are you ready for the 2010 NFL Draft?

Updated 2010 NFL Draft position predictions:

Round 1 – Linebacker

Round 2 – Offensive Lineman

Round 3 – Defensive Tackle

Round 4 – Cornerback

Round 5 – Offensive Lineman

Round 6 – Defensive End

Round 7 – Cornerback

New York Giants: Seven Rounds in Seven Days, Rd.1

April 20, 2010

They say that all good things must come to an end. With that being said, we have reached the final day and round of our “Seven Rounds in Seven Days” segment. It has been a pleasure to do these comparisons for our readers and we hope you learned as much as we did. We are now only 2 days away from the 2010 NFL Draft. Although, I do not like the NFL experimenting with this new 3-day NFL Draft event, I am excited to have finally reached draft week. I believe that Roger Goodell will find it to be an unsuccessful venture and return to the traditional 2-day draft weekend that all football fans have grown to love. They are trying to generate an air of excitement for something that doesn’t need any promotion and it is coming off as an over dramatic soap opera. They are doing the same thing with releasing the 2010 NFL schedule TONIGHT at 7:00 PM EST. A 3-hour television event for releasing the 2010 schedule? Really Roger?

Be sure to check back with us tomorrow, as we do our final New York Giants draft analysis, breakdown and needs assessment. Then come back on Thursday when we begin our LIVE coverage of the 2010 NFL Draft for three days (rolls eyes) through Saturday.

Let’s take a look at the New York Giants first round picks for the past six years.

ROUND 1

Ernie Accorsi

2004 Draft – Round 1 – QB Eli Manning

2005 Draft – Round 1 – No picks available

2006 Draft – Round 1 – DE Mathias Kiwanuka

Jerry Reese

2007 Draft – Round 1 – CB Aaron Ross

2008 Draft – Round 1 – S Kenny Phillips

2009 Draft – Round 1 – WR Hakeem Nicks

NYGReporter

2010 Draft – Round 1 – Position Prediction – Linebacker

There are some very good players listed here for round one. This is going to be just as difficult to choose a winner, as it was in round two. With QB Eli Manning staring us in the face, I don’t know how we can choose Jerry Reese outright. Once again, Accorsi is missing a pick this round and Jerry Reese has held on to all of his. We have some Pro Bowl players listed here and some that have had extremely short NFL Careers thus far. WR Hakeem Nicks should have an outstanding season in 2010 and if Kenny Phillips can return healthy, he will be a force at the safety position. DE Mathias Kiwanuka continues to push his case for a starting role and if Osi talks his way out of New York, he will get his shot.

Taking everything into consideration from the history we have shown here, I have to give round one to Ernie Accorsi. Eli Manning is just too much to pass over because he is the cream of this crop and a Super Bowl MVP. CB Aaron Ross and S Kenny Phillips have had injuries that have limited their careers thus far but that isn’t Jerry Reese’s fault. Both of these players could have outstanding careers if they can remain healthy.

What do you think about the New York Giants first round picks from the past six years?
