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

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?

Are you beginning to get excited Giants fans? We are now only 4 days away from the 2010 NFL Draft. All of our research and investigation of players will soon be over and we will finally know who the G-men had on their radar all along. Big Blue had a busy week last week, they signed a few players and seem to be just about ready to enter the War Room and lock it down. I anticipate one or two more moves, on the teams behalf, before the draft this Thursday night. I don’t think it will be anything major but you never know with Jerry Reese. I am still not counting out a possible trade on draft day but it seems unlikely given Reese’s history of holding onto his picks.
In case you haven’t read the previous “Seven Rounds in Seven Days” articles, what we are doing is comparing Ernie Accorsi’s last three years as GM with the team and Jerry Reese’s first three years as the new GM. We are not comparing these men to find a winner but rather taking a look at the past six years and what rewards have come from their work. There are no winners in these comparisons, we are just doing something entertaining for the fans leading up to draft day.
OK Giants fans, let’s take a look at the New York Giants third round picks from the past six years.
ROUND 3
Ernie Accorsi
2004 Draft – Round 3 – No picks available
2005 Draft – Round 3 – DE Justin Tuck
2006 Draft – Round 3 – LB Gerris Wilkinson
Jerry Reese
2007 Draft – Round 3 – DT Jay Alford
2008 Draft – Round 3 – WR Mario Manningham
2009 Draft – Round 3 – WR Ramses Barden and TE Travis Beckum
NYGReporter
2010 Draft – Round 3 – Position Prediction – Defensive Tackle
This is a difficult round for me to decide between Accorsi and Reese but once again, I have to give it to Reese. I’m giving Reese the nod in round three because he drafted double the players and all of them are still on the team. I also like the fact that he was able to get two picks in round three last year. Defensive end Justin Tuck is a huge pick of course and we need to give Accorsi credit for scouting him. I never envisioned the Giants as a team that did a lot of deals during the draft. But after seeing how many picks are absent from Accorsi’s final three drafts, is really opening my eyes. Until I laid everything out like this, I had no idea that the team had been consistently giving up that many picks.
Another thing that stands out in my mind is exactly how young the G-men are. The New York Giants are a very young football team and about to get even younger next weekend. If you take a look at our previous articles, where we take a look at every position on the team, you will see that a lot of those positions are extremely young. A player with only four or five years of NFL experience is considered the veteran in those areas.
What do you think about the New York Giants third round picks for the past six years? Who would you give the round three crown to between Accorsi and Reese?

The New York Giants re-signed two players yesterday, as they continue to make roster moves just five days away from the 2010 NFL Draft. WR Domenik Hixon was signed to a one year deal and will be entering his fourth season as a New York Giant, after two years with the Denver Broncos. Hixon has been asked to do a little bit of everything, including returning kick offs and punts on special teams. He is a tall receiver at 6’2″ but never blossomed into the threat the Giants envisioned when they brought him on board. That’s not to say that Hixon can’t flourish later in his career but to this point, he hasn’t done much at the WR position. The crowded wide receiver group will make it even more difficult for him to crack the starting lineup. At this point, it would take an injury or two for Hixon to become a starter. WR Steve Smith, WR Hakeem Nicks and WR Mario Manningham appear to be the top three guys on the team.
DJ Johnson is a young cornerback who played his first season in New York in 2009. We don’t know much about this guy yet but apparently the team thinks he is worth holding onto as an exclusive rights free agent. Johnson is also a big guy at 6’2″ 200 pounds and could provide some needed depth at the cornerback position. CB Aaron Ross remains a huge question mark for the CB group. Terrell Thomas has become a force at the cornerback position and could earn a Pro Bowl spot this year if he continues his outstanding play. DJ Johnson has no shot at cracking the starting lineup this season but he certainly will be a welcome addition to the cornerback group. I hope that he can prove me wrong by becoming a terrific player quickly and making Big Blue even stronger but it’s unlikely.
What do you think about the New York Giants re-signing both WR Domenik Hixon and CB DJ Johnson?

The 2010 NFL Draft is now 5 days away Giants fans. Today, we take a look at the round four picks from the past six years. So far, Jerry Reese has proven to be extremely resourceful by garnering the nod for rounds 5,6 and 7 over Accorsi. Will he be able to run the table and grab round four as well? True Giants fans know that comparing both of these men is like comparing Michael Jordan to Magic Johnson. Opinions may vary on who was the better player but all will agree that both were great. Both are great in their own right and we are merely comparing picks here and not the men.
Let’s take a look at the New York Giants fourth round picks for the past six years.
ROUND 4
Ernie Accorsi
2004 Draft – Round 4 – LB Reggie Torbor
2005 Draft – Round 4 – RB Brandon Jacobs
2006 Draft – Round 4 – DT Barry Cofield and OT Guy Whimper
Jerry Reese
2007 Draft – Round 4 – LB Zak DeOssie
2008 Draft – Round 4 – LB Bryan Kehl
2009 Draft – Round 4 – RB Andre Brown
NYGreporter
2010 Draft – Round 4 – Position Prediction – Cornerback
Finally, we have a round that goes to Ernie Accorsi and a round where Accorsi has all of his picks. There should be no doubt at all that round four has been a monster for Accorsi in his final three years as the New York Giants general manager. In my opinion, all three of his picks are winners. Reggie Torbor is a player that I have always liked, Brandon Jacobs is the starting running back for the G-men and Barry Cofield is solid as a rock in his defensive tackle position. I like all three of these players and all have proven to be wise choices. Jerry Reese didn’t do bad either. All three of the players Reese picked are still on the team. DeOssie and Kehl have had more opportunities to play then Brown (Brown was injured for his entire rookie season in 2009) but Brown has some serious potential to grow and flourish.
What do you think about the New York Giants fourth round picks for the past six years? Do you agree with me in giving round four to Accorsi?

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?

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.

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.
