I am much happier with their 3rd round pick then their lackluster 2nd round pick. Terrell Thomas is a CB that most wonder if he can actually cut it at a CB in the NFL. He is noted that he is versatile, thus can be reassigned at Safety. But, at the 2nd round, is this the place to pick a “might”?

I think not.

Meanwhile, Dan Connor, ILB for Penn State, was left for the 3rd round over Thomas. Carolina, who has had a great draft, got Connor, who most felt would go in the 1st round, as the 9th pick of the 3rd round.

I think the Jints made a mistake here.

Meanwhile, near the back-end of the 3rd round, they picked up what might be a WR gem in the rough in Mario Manningham. Mario has some character issues, as well as injury questionmarks, but is considered a playmaking WR who might need to add some size and weight. I think they got someone who might turn into a key WR down the line. Especially when the Giants have not been terribly deep at WR, despite some expectations on receivers in the past.

Giant’s let  Dan Connor, of the Penn State go, at ILB, feeling safety was more important.

Giant’s have been high on Phillips for a while, despite rumors of ILB on their radar like Mayo and Connor.

And I get at least one pick right!

Now, trade in 2nd coming? Might be, but either way, expect an ILB picked up in the 2nd round.

In the 2nd round, as New Orleans have the pick, the Giants were on the phone. Would a deal go down?

No. Saint’s make a pick. The Giant’s do not blink.

As of this post-time, the draft is getting perilously close to the Giant’s 31st pick. So far, there has been no movement on Shockey. Is this because they are keeping cool, or that other teams are just not biting the type of deal for them to pull the trigger?

Still NY sources are saying that the Saints deal might still happen. We shall see. Who will blink. Might not happen until the Saints come around to the 2nd round when the iron gets hot. Saint, in the meantime, are close to a deal with the Eagles for cornerback Lito Sheppard. That trade scenario holds on to their 2nd pick, with Brown and a later round on the table with them. So, intent for the Saints is to pull two trades. Just a matter or time? Or will things changed?

Meanwhile, Dan Connor, ILB, is still not taken. Will he last till the Giant’s pick?

More soon. Jets just snuck into the late 1st round with a trade.
