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.

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.

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.

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?

OK, here is the scenario. If you were Jerry Reese and learned that Kenny Phillips might miss the first 4-6 weeks of the NFL season, would you trade up and grab the future all-pro safety Eric Berry? Has the Antrel Rolle signing and obvious potential of Kenny Phillips when healthy made us focus elsewhere? If Antrel Rolle is clearly one starter, then who would the other one be? Michael Johnson? Deon Grant? Do you think it is a dead issue to consider the lethality of a healthy Phillips, Rolle and Berry. When all three are playing at an optimum level, it could change how backfields are used in NFL schemes. The Bermuda Triangle backfield.
Drafting Berry would let the Giants know one thing for certain, they would not need to do anything with the safety position for five or six years minimum. That’s not bad when you think about it. Eric Berry is clearly the best safety in the draft and he also had a very crisp and clean combine workout. It is not likely that the team would pursue this but I was very impressed with this young man. I think he has a very bright future in the NFL. I have Eric Berry going to Tampa Bay with the third overall pick. The last time I felt there was a player the G-men might move up for was Michael Crabtree. Clearly, that did not work out for the Giants or 49ers. I hope he has a very good year and proves the doubters wrong in 2010.
What do you think about the Giants grabbing yet another safety before the 2010 season? Will it or could it ever happen? If not Berry, then possibly safety Earl Thomas or Taylor Mays at pick fifteen? Maybe Chad Jones in round two? Is the safety discussion one that should be over with by now? What are your thoughts?
Eric Berry, Safety @ Tennessee
6’0″ 211 pounds, 4.47 – 40 yard time – tremendous athlete.
