For the record- who would you have drafted?
« on: April 26, 2010, 04:29:15 PM »
You can take the Giants pick or anyone below that choice (no trades).  I will archive this post so we can revisit it after the season is over.  Feel free to do the top pick or the top 3 or the entire 7 picks.

Here is a helpful link to build your draft list:

I would have taken Pouncey with #15 as a high value and solid need especially in 2011-2012 and beyond, and saved the DE - DT- LB picks for later in rounds 2,3,4, with no safety in rounds 1-4..

I would have taken Weatherspoon, I think he fits our defense and I like his motor and after that I wanted Sean Lee but none of that happened and until I see a reason for it I guess I will always wonder...

Don't know, but w/ McClain gone I would have traded down.  Or Dan Williams, who I thought should have gone about then but didn't.

1. Iupati
2. Terrance Cody - so I have little problem with Joseph, a similar pick
3. Donald Butler (LB)  - and be kicking myself that I let Spikes and Angerer slip by in Round 2
4. Matt Tennent (C) - yes, I could have waited and got him in the 5th
5. Greg Hardy (DE) - If he recovers from his injuries, he's a stud
6.  ~X( Frisco took Byham!?  ~X( . Ok then, James Starks (RB) - As good as anybody in this draft after Spiller and Matthews (jeez I really wanted that blocking TE from Pitt.  ~X(
7. I would have passed on Dodge and hoped to sign him as an UDFA. I'd take Blue Cooper (WR) - he sounds like a Giant.
The Coach sees the glass as half full. The Media sees the glass as half empty. The Fans can't understand why we have a glass that is twice as big as it needs to be.

I would have taken Pouncey or Morgan.  Otherwise I would have traded down to early 2nd round & taken Lee then and then a DT or another ILB with the 3rd pick.

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! - Rocky Balboa

My first pick was Williams yet considering what was on the board, I would have been more conservative and selected DE Morgan.

Pierre-Paul has more upside yet I view Morgan as a safer pick.  He reminds more of the Strahan/Tuck mold while Pierre-Paul reminds me more of Osi.  I don't see Jevon Kearse.

1) Derrick Morgan
2)  Sean Lee
3)  J.D. Walton
4)  Thaddeus Gibson
5)  Mitch Petrus
6)  Jonathon Dwyer
7)  Matt Dodge


I like Morgan better than JPP.  I think we're fine at DT right now.  I like the Joseph pick, but I definitely would have gone with Lee.  Got a good center in round 3 and kept the guard in round 5.  Picked up some RB depth with great value in round 6.  I wanted 2 LB's out of this draft and I think Lee and Gibson would have been great additions!

1. Morgan
2. Butler
3. Jones

If not Morgan - I would have moved back about 5 spots and grabbed Pouncey or Iupati..

Happy with Rounds 2 and 3 and 4...Not so much on Rd 1 - I will let it play out but see no year 1 help from JPP - situational only..

According to Pat at Inside Football - inside sources have stated that Spiller was the Giants' first choice, followed by McClain and then JPP.
