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?

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

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

Be sure to check back tomorrow for LIVE draft updates in our 2010 NFL DRAFT SPECIAL!

New York Giants 2010 NFL Schedule Released

April 20, 2010

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.

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?

New York Giants: Seven Rounds in Seven Days, Rd.2

April 19, 2010

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?

WR Sinorice Moss re-signs with New York Giants

April 15, 2010

The New York Giants have re-signed WR Sinorice Moss to a one year deal. I have been extremely vocal about my feelings of Moss. I am in awe as to how Moss is still on the team. Not unlike the Danny Ware situation, I am having a difficult time trying to justify either of them getting re-signed. Of course, I am not privy to the same information as the front office but just looking at both of their career numbers speaks volumes. This will be Sinorice Moss’ final year with the Giants, if he still doesn’t show the team or fans anything, then he should pull a Javon Walker and give back the money. There are only so many spots open on the roster and I have a hard time with the Moss subject when it comes up.

You may not believe what I’m about to share with you (if you don’t, look it up) but here are Sinorice Moss’ career numbers since the Giants drafted him. Moss has exactly 39 receptions for 421 yards and 3 TD’s. He has five years of NFL experience and a ton of injury time. I understand that players get injured and that things happen but this is amazing to me. You have to wonder if he has a cousin working in the human resources department or something at this point. I have nothing against the guy personally but we all have to justify ourselves in the workplace and measuring him with that scale tells me he should be fired.

What do you think about the Giants re-signing Sinorice Moss? Am I being too hard on the guy or do you agree with the reasons I’ve stated?

New York Giants: Seven Rounds in Seven Days, Rd.6

April 15, 2010

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?

New York Giants: Seven Rounds in Seven Days, Rd.7

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.
