Every year, while the Giant rookie reported to be "movin' on up" and a pleasant surprise is fizzing out at training camp (falling to Earth), there is ONE team that actually HAS grabbed a true hidden gem, a player well under the radar on draft day who rockets to stardom. My point is... at least one year in my life I expect that to happen to the Giants... and somehow, although I might continue to refuse to believe it, I am beginning to suspect this might be the year, and that might be the guy. Last time the Giants even came close to a "home run" in this category, it was also a running back who turned out to be very very good, although IMO not a true home run... Ahmad Bradshaw. Bob
Bradshaw was a great 7th round pick. A couple of others that could be mentioned are Mark Bavaro (4th rd), and David Diehl (5th rd), but the real gem was Victor Cruz (UDFA). I guess you just never know. Hopefully, this is the year the Giants beat the odds
