The Sun Belt conference isn't exactly the NFC. I guess I'll wait and see.

I agree but it is much a much better conference than some might think. Troy alone has produced guys like Umenyiora, Demarcus Ware, Tynes, and Leodis McKelvin. There are some athletes down there.

Wait.....I think I just called Lawrence Tynes and athlete. :confused:

Herb Welsh II?

I was thinking more along the lines of Craig Dahl II. Very similar speed, size, and skill set.

great pick in the 7th round, a guy who can be a homer run hitter.

also everyone, the giants did sign, if they still have him, that kid from the canadien league as a back.

Guys, look at the physicality of the player. You should see that's where the comparisons end.

The comparison between Moss & this kid is fair when you are comparing size --5'8"

One Difference is that Moss was fearful--this kid is fearless

Well I'm sure Sinorice had a highlight film when he came out of college too.  And he came out of Miami not Troy.  Now I'm not saying this guy is as horrible as Moss, but the comparison is fair.  Both small, fast, WRs who will have a tough time seeing the football field.

Agreed, hopefully he turns out to be better than Moss.  If he ends up being a bust this was a very bad pick especially when you consider the other needs the Giants have.

The player had some ongoing injuries that kept him from getting on the field. Then Meggett's son got playing time shared. There were reasons his production went down. Go to Giants.com and under the player evaluations, the whole story is there. Coach Coughlin didn't want to throw anyone under the bus, so see it for yourself. It's there.

This kid is going to be a solid player for the giants.

I swear, some of you guys just are looking for an "I told you so" down the road.

Ok, I get the joke. The entire draft sucks and Reese all the way down to the Scouts on the road have no clue. Our season is shot because we don't have any good Linebackers and the O-line is in Depends Diapers. We should have taken Costanzo even though he was picked up before we could pick. Or, Ingram.

Ugh!

Your all right he will get blown over like a stick in those stiff winds at Giant Stadium. Wasted pick, ripe for an "I told you so".

Hey wait just a second, I have a thought. Do you think it's possible that he might just be able to cover TE's from the Sam position? Maybe contribute to the putrid special teams everyone so loudly exposed last season while he learns the trade and puts on some muscle?  Nahhhh. What a stupid ignorant thought.

some tidbits about jerrel......i can't wait to see him in the return game.....go Giants!!!!!
________________________________________________

"Jerrel Jernigan's 350 all purpose yards in the GMAC Bowl was the best ever in Troy universities' rich 100 year football history.

His 154 reception yards gave him 1101 for the season, the second most in school history and the only Sun Belt Conference receiver in 2009 to amass over 1000 yards.

His now total of 2264 all purpose yards in a season is the best in school history and the only Trojan to ever eclipse the 2000 yards plateau. Jerrel's season average of 159 all purpose yards per game is again record setting and Troy's best.

He broke the single season record of former Troy standout and current Buffalo Bills' return specialist Leodis Mckelvin's kickoff return yards total in a season with 897 (record 765).

Jerrel's on track to be the most prolific receiver in Troy University's history already having broke many records, as a junior, some that stood for more than 40 years old.

I'm not saying he won't be a good pro and I don't know enough about the guy.  I think my problem is that I was excited just a few years ago to get Moss, who I thought would do the things this guy is supposed to do. 

And the fact that he broke records at Troy doesn't really impress me.  PSU just sent their all-time leading rusher to the Redskins in the 6th round.  This is a guy who amassed more yards than Curt Warner, Ki-Jana Carter, Lydell Mitchell, Lenny Moore, Curtis Enis, Larry Johnson, Blair Thomas....  Anyway, records can be deceiving and are not great indicators of future NFL success.
