40.

Shouldn't that declaration of age be pre-faced with 'I'm a man, I'm.....'

Why don't u c us snaggin' an OL?
Few on the Board worthy of consideration.
I like Callaway @ RT.

Last I checked C was an OL  Koets is a lousy back-up so I think we need to replace him more so than a back-up T.

If I had to give a top 5 for today's first pick it would be:
1. MLB Jamar Chaney
2. RB Deji Karim
3. RB Joe McKnight
4. CB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah
5. RB Jonathon Dwyer
5.

Top players still remaining on my 'value board'

32. DE Everson Griffen
40. DE Corey Wootton, Northwestern
61. RB Jonathon Dwyer, Georgia Tech
64. DE/OLB Eric Norwood, South Carolina
67. TE Aaron Hernandez, Florida
68. WR Mardy Gillyard, Connecticut
71. DT Cam Thomas, North Carolina
72. DE/OLB Thaddeus Gibson, Ohio State
73. S Reshad Jones, Georgia
74. RB Joe McKnight, USC
78. DT Arthur Jones, Syracuse  
81. CB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, Indiana PA
86. DT Geno Atkins, Georgia
88. TE Dennis Pitta, BYU
93. WR Carlton Mitchell, South Florida
95. OLB Ricky Sapp, Clemson
96. SLB AJ Edds, Iowa
99. C Matt Tennant, Boston College

Players remaining from my 3rd Round Target List at positions we still have needs
2. CB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah
5. RB Joe McKnight

I think we will be looking to bolster the roster today with a combination of four the following players:

RB
Jonathon Dwyer
Joe McKnight
Deji Karim
LeGarrette Blount

OT
Bruce Campbell, Maryland
Jason Fox, Miami Fla
Kyle Calloway, Iowa
Sam Young, Notre Dame

G
Marshall Newhouse, TCU

C
Eric Olsen, Notre Dame

MLB
Jamar Chaney, Mississippi state
Phillip Dillard, Nebraska
Vincent Ray, Duke

OLB
AJ Edds, Iowa
O'Brien Schofield, Wisconsin
Adrian Tracy, William & Mary

CB
Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, Indiana PA
AJ Jefferson, Wisconsin
Walter Thurmond III, Oregon

Ideally, I would like to come away with an MLB, CB, pass catching RB and a C so Chaney, Karim, Jefferson and Olsen would be a nice haul

Kindle, Lee or Spikes. Make it happen JR.

Forget Kindle, apparently has some issues with his knee that weren't well known (though the OTF stuff was). Interesting to note that T Charles Brown is another who has been red-flagged due to medical issues.

2nd Round Target List (46th overall)
1. LB Sean Lee
2. T/G Rodger Saffold
3. DT Linval Joseph
4. DT Brian Price
5. DT Lamarr Houston

Trading down
1. LB Navarro Bowman

3rd Round Target List (76th overall)
1. OT Jared Veldheer
2. CB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah
3. S Chad Jones
4. DT Arthur Jones
5. RB Joe McKnight

After the first day I only have 4 players left from my top 32:

QB Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame)
OLB/DE Sergio Kindle (Texas)
S Taylor Mays (USC)
DE Everson Griffin (USC)

Of those 4 I doubt that any are of interest to the Giants so there won't be any real bargains tomorrow with the 46th pick

NB: T Bruce Campbell (Maryland) doesn't count as apparently I didn't check my list thoroughly enough as I had 33 players on it (two number 12's!)
