The Philadelphia Eagles have decided to give the keys to the kingdom to QB Kevin Kolb. You may have been busy yesterday, with church and Easter egg hunts but by this morning you have probably found out that QB Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins. The question I pose to all of our readers is simple, how does this trade effect the New York Giants?
First lets take a look at the situation, which for a lack of a better word is, insane. We have Donovan McNabb, Mr. Eagle, being traded to division rival Washington because the team took McNabb’s “feelings” into consideration. Really? (If the Redskins lose both games to the Eagles, could this become scandalous?) The Buffalo Bills and Oakland Raiders were said to be the top two contenders for landing Donovan but at the last minute they trade him within the division? Crazy. It would have been nice if Washington had done the same thing for QB Jason Campbell, who has been treated like a guest the entire time he has played in Washington. Apparently, the only consideration Campbell was shown was a phone call, after the fact, by head coach Shanahan and McNabb himself. The Redskins have a horrible offensive line and they do not have the WR corps that McNabb enjoyed in Philadelphia. Taking all of this into consideration, the McNabb trade to Washington helps the G-men this season in my opinion.
Next we have the fact that QB Michael “half man, half amazing” Vick will be backing up who? Kevin Kolb. Perhaps, I am getting old but this entire scenario a few years ago would be considered grounds for a one way ticket to the funny farm. But here we are getting ready for the 2010 season and it is a reality. Kolb will be the true starting QB for the first time in his career. Many experts have said that he is ready to lead this team and most say he will do very well. A new young QB doing very well to me means, keeping your team above 500 and ending the season with a 9-7 record and no playoff spot. So this situation also helps the G-men for the new season. Both teams, Washington and Philadelphia, will suffer at least one year of growing pains for these changes they made. The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys will be fighting for NFC East supremacy come the end of the year. What are your thoughts on how this will effect the Giants?

Hello Giants Fans,
On behalf of the NYG Reporter, I would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter Sunday. This is a time for family to come together every April and enjoy each others company. I hope that you and your families enjoy this day together. This year, Easter is also a reminder that the NFL Draft is now three weeks away. Soon all of the guessing and analyzing will be over and Giants fans will finally know the answers to all of their questions. Will it be LB McClain or LB Weatherspoon? Will it be DT Price or RB Spiller? No matter who the G-men take with the 15th overall pick, you have to like the moves that Jerry Reese has already made. The team wasted no time in addressing the areas of most concern and continue to surprise many by signing players, as early as a couple of days ago. I have faith in Jerry Reese and the staff. I know that they obviously have the teams best interest in mind and will make the right choices, according to the plan, when the time comes. That is still three weeks away, so for today, Happy Easter!

Hello Giants fans, I thought we could do something different today and try to predict the Giants draft picks by position and round. Naming player prospects is fine as well, as long as you list the position next to the name. I have been having some talks with my fellow Giants fans about this and opinions vary as always. Of course, we still don’t know if Big Blue is done with the free agency market yet. So far, they have signed S Antrel Rolle and QB Jim Sorgi. There are positions of need to fill, with MLB being the most apparent.
So for now, let’s assume that the G-Men are done with free agency (which I do not believe). Looking at the current roster and taking into consideration the quality of players that remain at each position, let’s try to figure out what the Giants will do on draft day. Good luck and I look forward to checking out your predictions for the 2010 NFL Draft. I will leave my personal predictions below.

At the beginning of the 2009 season, the biggest concern for most Giants fans were the wide receivers. Having lost Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress in the same year seemed to be too much to overcome. One of the big names that kept popping up all over the internet was WR Anquan Boldin. Boldin recently signed a 4-year $28 million dollar deal with the Baltimore Ravens and will finally be out of All-World WR Larry Fitzgerald’s shadow. So why am I bringing this up?
Now that Hakeem “Octo-Hands” Nicks has some experience under his belt and Anquan Boldin is with a new team, I thought it would be interesting to do a comparison on both guys. Hakeem Nicks would not be a Giant if Jerry Reese had brought in Boldin, a move that surely would have included giving up draft picks. In my mind, these two guys are linked and it is fun to see how both will perform in 2010.
Let me say that I think the Giants made the right move by drafting Hakeem Nicks. I don’t think anyone can deny that the brightest spot on the team in 2009, was the WR Corps. All of us were proven wrong. Hakeem “Those are some big hands” Nicks could prove to be a superstar in the NFL. He performed extremely well in his rookie season and will surely have a bigger role in the Giants offense next season. I can only say this now, because I was one of those fans worried about the WR group. Yes, I admit it. Not that I didn’t believe in Nicks but when you see a great player like Anquan Boldin on the table, it’s hard to look away. And all of that brings us here today. Nicks surely on the cusp of becoming a number one WR with the G-Men and Boldin about to become a number one WR in Baltimore. Who do you think will have a better season in 2010? Does it come down to Eli Manning or Joe Flacco having a better season?
2009 Season Stats:
1. Anquan Boldin – 15 game starts, 84 receptions, 1,024 yards, 4 TD’s
2. Hakeem Nicks – 6 game starts, 47 receptions, 790 yards, 6 TD’s

It’s safe to say that New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs had one of his worst years in the NFL last season. The entire Giants running game seemed to be injured or playing injured throughout the year. When the year was over (basically after the Panthers game) officially, the coaches decided to place a number of Giants on the IR list, Jacobs was one of those players to close out the season on the Injured Reserve list. Jacobs had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in January which begs the question of how well he will perform in 2010. Can he go back to that bruising, bully style of running attack that gave him his reputation in the first place? I think Brandon the Bull will be fine in 2010. He will be playing with a chip on his shoulder this year. I am extremely confident that RB Brandon Jacobs will rush for 1,000 yards this season. Who wants to bet against him?
RB Ahmad Bradshaw had some ankle issues and injuries of his own, after rookie RB Andre Brown was lost for the season in training camp. DJ Ware played in a limited role but missed a bunch of time due to injury as well. Hopefully, 2010 will prove to be a year when injuries are a non factor for the running back group. I truly believe that the Giants can return to form if they can find the missing piece, which is who will fill the Derrick Ward role from a couple of years ago? Can Andre Brown step up and do that? Brandon Jacobs runs too hard to be in the game for every single down. The running game in general needs some help from the third string and beyond.
