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?

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?
BE SURE TO CHECK BACK WITH US TONIGHT AT 6PM EST FOR LIVE DISCUSSIONS IN THE COMMENT AREA BELOW.

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.

Hello Giants Fans, the wait is over. Here is the the regular season schedule for the New York Giants in 2010. You can also find this information in the “Schedule” tab in the top tool bar throughout the entire year. It looks like the Giants have four night games this season and a pretty difficult schedule. Enough jibber jabber about that, let’s take a look at the schedule.
2010 New York Giants Regular Season Schedule
Week 1 – 9/12/10 1:00 PM EST Carolina Panthers @ New York Giants
Week 2 – 9/19/10 8:20 PM EST New York Giants @ Indianapolis Colts
Week 3 – 9/26/10 1:00 PM EST Tennessee Titans @ New York Giants
Week 4 – 10/3/10 8:20 PM EST Chicago Bears @ New York Giants
Week 5 – 10/10/10 1:00 PM EST New York Giants @ Houston Texans
Week 6 – 10/17/10 1:00 PM EST Detroit Lions @ New York Giants
Week 7 – 10/25/10 8:20 PM EST New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys
Week 8 – BYE WEEK
Week 9 – 11/07/10 4:05 PM EST New York Giants @ Seattle Seahawks
Week 10 – 11/14/10 4:15 PM EST Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants
Week 11 – 11/21/10 8:20 PM EST New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles
Week 12 – 11/28/10 1:00 PM EST Jacksonville Jaguars @ New York Giants
Week 13 – 12/05/10 1:00 PM EST Washington Redskins @ New York Giants
Week 14 – 12/12/10 1:00 PM EST New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings
Week 15 – 12/19/10 1:00 PM EST Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Giants
Week 16 – 12/26/10 4:15 PM EST New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers
Week 17 – 1/02/11 1:00 PM EST New York Giants @ Washington Redskins
I haven’t had much time to digest this yet since it just came out about 15-20 minutes ago but I see a lot of tough opponents in 2010. I like the fact that the team has a bye week in the middle of the season during week eight. I also like the fact that the team will be playing in four night games. Roger Goodell made a point to have all of the NFL teams play a division rival in the final weekend of the regular season. The NFL changes the schedule from time to time but this is what they have put out thus far. Any changes that need to be made from here on out will be made in the actual “Schedule” tab on the top tool bar.

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?

It feels like we just started doing this segment yesterday but here we are almost at the end. Tomorrow will be the final day of the “Seven Rounds in Seven Days” comparisons, as we reach the first and last round. We are now only 3 days away from the 2010 NFL Draft. This is an extremely unique situation that will not happen again until Jerry Reese decides to retire and a new GM takes over the reins. The 3 year see-saw of draft pick comparisons might not happen again for at least a decade, so I hope all of our readers enjoyed this. I can honestly say that Jerry Reese has done an outstanding job replacing a legend in the pro football world. New York Giants fans have nothing to complain about when it comes to the front office.
Be sure to check back with us on Wednesday, when we do our final 2010 NFL Draft predictions, needs assessment and breakdown. Then be sure to stay with us for the draft weekend, where we will be doing LIVE updates and analysis.
Let’s take a look at the New York Giants second round picks for the past six years.
ROUND 2
Ernie Accorsi
2004 Draft – Round 2 – OL Chris Snee
2005 Draft – Round 2 – CB Corey Webster
2006 Draft – Round 2 – WR Sinorice Moss
Jerry Reese
2007 Draft – Round 2 – WR Steve Smith
2008 Draft – Round 2 – CB Terrell Thomas
2009 Draft – Round 2 – LB Clint Sintim and OT William Beatty
NYGReporter
2010 Draft – Round 2 – Position Prediction – Offensive Lineman
This has been the most difficult round to compare in this segment so far. Both Reese and Accorsi have done an outstanding job here by drafting players who have already made it to the Pro Bowl. I am going to call round two a push in my opinion. Let me explain why I see round two as being equal. If we “x” out the solid players such as OL Snee, CB Webster, WR Smith and CB Thomas, that leaves us with WR Moss, LB Sintim and OT Beatty. Moss is clearly the bust out of all of these guys but Sintim and Beatty are too young to have proven anything yet. So Moss being invisible “x’s” out Sintim and Beatty’s inexperience. I have to give Jerry Reese some extra credit for once again grabbing two players in a round and holding on to all of the Giants picks.
What do you think about the New York Giants second round picks for the past six years? Do you agree with my theory about Accorsi and Reese being equal this time?

Today we will take a look at the New York Giants round five picks for the past six years. We will be comparing former Giants GM Ernie Accorsi and current Giants GM Jerry Reese’s draft picks and making our own 2010 NFL Draft pick by position. There are now 6 days remaining until the 2010 NFL Draft. I want to be clear that this isn’t a comparison of careers and in no way is this a disrespectful analysis of either of these fine men. This is a pre-draft segment that we thought would be entertaining for the week leading up to the 2010 NFL Draft. The three years we are looking at for Ernie Accorsi are a fraction of his legendary career.
Let’s take a look at what the short history of round five picks for the G-men are.
ROUND 5
Ernie Accorsi
2004 Draft – Round 5 – S Gibril Wilson
2005 Draft – Round 5 – No picks available
2006 Draft – Round 5 – CB Charlie Peprah
Jerry Reese
2007 Draft – Round 5 – TE Kevin Boss
2008 Draft – Round 5 – LB Jonathan Goff
2009 Draft – Round 5 – QB Rhett Bomar
NYGReporter
2010 Draft – Round 5 – Position Prediction – Offensive Lineman
Once again, I have to give the edge to Jerry Reese in round five. Ernie Accorsi has kept his record in tact, by not having a pick available in round five. The main reason I am giving Reese the nod is because of TE Kevin Boss. Although safety Gibril Wilson was an equally good player, he is no longer on the Giants and was recently released by Miami. Jonathan Goff could find himself in a starting role this year along with Boss, another reason why I have to give Jerry Reese some extra points. Does it strike anyone else as strange, that Accorsi is missing a pick in each round for his last three years with the team? I’m not talking conspiracy strange, just strange that I hadn’t really noticed it before. A future article might have to investigate what the Giants gained from giving up those picks.
What do you think about the New York Giants round five picks from the past six years? Which GM gets your vote for having the better round five?

Here we are on day two of the “Seven Rounds in Seven Days” segment. We will be examining the past six years of drafts by round. A different set of rounds everyday for seven days. The legendary Ernie Accorsi will be compared to the young buck (I say that with respect) Jerry Reese. The 2010 NFL Draft is now exactly one week away. What will the Giants do? Could they still grab a player via free agency? Will there be a major trade announced? It’s beginning to get very interesting, the closer we get to draft day.
Now, let’s take a look at the New York Giants round six picks for the past six years.
ROUND 6
Ernie Accorsi
2004 Draft – Round 6 – WR Jamaar Taylor
2005 Draft – Round 6 – DE Eric Moore
2006 Draft – Round 6 – No picks available
Jerry Reese
2007 Draft – Round 6 – OT Adam Koets
2008 Draft – Round 6 – QB Andre Woodson and DE Robert Henderson
2009 Draft – Round 6 – CB DeAndre Wright
NYGReporter
2010 Draft – Round 6 – Position Prediction – Running Back
After taking a look at the history above, I think it is fair to say that round six is a push between these two legends. OT Adam Koets is the only player out of them all that may have any promise of making a living in New York. Robert Henderson would fall to second on the list if I had to choose. It is nothing against the other players that the G-men drafted, it’s just the nature of the business to be somewhat judgmental. The one pattern that I am picking up on thus far, is that Ernie Acorsi seems to be missing picks quite a bit. No doubt from wheeling and dealing but I find it interesting that while Accorsi has given up a pick in each round so far, Reese continues to be stingy with his draft picks and has retained them all. Both of these men are experts at what they do and trying to figure out which system is best is ludicrous. A blend of both styles might be the best thing for New York.
What do you think about this brief history of round six picks? What position do you predict Big Blue taking with the 2010 sixth round pick?

April 14, 2010
The 2010 NFL Draft is a mere 8 days away now and will be held on Thursday 4-22-10. I thought we could do something interesting leading up to the 2010 NFL Draft. I plan on writing about a different round every day for the next seven days, leading us right up to two days before the 2010 draft on Tuesday 4-20-10.
What I am going to do is take the last three drafts, all of which were done by Jerry Reese, and the last three drafts before that, done by Ernie Accorsi and compare them. That means we are taking a look back at the previous six draft years. I think you will find it very interesting how well these two men stack up with their drafting prowess. You will be getting three actual draft results each, from Jerry Reese and Ernie Accorsi, plus my position predictions by round, for the 2010 Draft. We will use a countdown style beginning with the number seven and ending with the number one.
On Wednesday 4-21-10, NYGReporter will do our “The Day Before: The 2010 Draft” segment and then LIVE coverage throughout the three day draft weekend.
So without any more delay, let’s take a look at how Jerry Reese and Ernie Accorsi drafted in round seven for the past six years.
ROUND 7
Ernie Accorsi:
2004 Draft – Round 7 – OT Drew Strojny and CB Isaac Hilton
2005 Draft – Round 7 – No Picks available
2006 Draft – Round 7 – CB Gerrick McPherson
Jerry Reese:
2007 Draft – Round 7 – S Michael Johnson and RB Ahmad Bradshaw
2008 Draft – Round 7 – WR Marcus Monk
2009 Draft – Round 7 – CB Stoney Woodson
NYGReporter:
2010 Draft – Round 7 – Position Prediction – Cornerback
Based on the information and history we have to examine, I would have to give the round seven edge to Jerry Reese for grabbing Ahmad Bradshaw in the seventh round. He also got Michael Johnson in the very same round and draft. Ahmad Bradshaw and Michael Johnson are the only two, round seven picks, that have remained on the team since 2004. Plus, Reese was able to hold onto all of his draft picks.
What do you think about the round seven comparisons? Did Jerry Reese win this round in your mind as well? Even though this isn’t a competition between two guys that we all love, it’s still fun to compare. I’m just trying to put an interesting twist on some pre-draft analysis.

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.
