DRAFT PICK THREADS- MERGED

[Uni]

The Giants take Jerrel Jernigan, the Eagles take Jaiquawn Jarrett, and the Redkins take Jarvis Jenkins. Weird, huh?

madbadger  when, where and what David Tyree (drug dealing), I was not aware!

vette  JR and the rest of The Giant brain trust have been incessant about the need to get faster.  I have a feeling they know exactly what they are doing and so far all indications are we have very good potential with our first 3 picks.

As of 1979 and until he died, Welly Mara had nothing to do with who the Giants drafted.

Jernigan could bring Wildcat to Giants
BY HANK GOLA
At 5-8, 181, third round pick Jerrel Jernigan is going to have to make it on speed and quickness, which he has in abundance. A high school quarterback, Jernigancan thrown the option pass, run it and catch it. He'll also be tried as a return man.
If he works out, you could see the Wildcat in the game plan.

Madbager - Are you going to tell me that you made no mistakes or made any poor decisions when you were in your early 20's?? He got involved with an agent and paid for it by missing a year of college football. Thus, according to you he has character issues.  /???

And the Cowboys take Jerry Jones.

Does this pick alleviate the need to draft a 3rd down scat back?  Perhaps this type of player can loosen the box on 3rd and short with the threat of his speed and shiftiness.

Personally I prefer my 3-technique tackles to be pot smokers.  worked out well for Warren Sapp.

greg, the videos I've seen of him show him lined up in the backfield often.

Just resign Cofield.  This kid is a rookie and hasn't played in over a year.

Can't understand why you all are so down on Will Allen.  Did you forget the time we were playing Minnesota And Culpepper threw a pass at Will's man.  Will turned around and saw a hard thrown football headed right for his chest.  He put his hands up to protect himself from the ball, but the ball hit him in the chest.  Trying to fight the ball off, it got stuck in his hands.  His only pick, as I remember.

He's Cam Newton's mini-me.

Coaches are just trying to get the ball in his hands, that's all.

Thanks Bama! Its great to get feedback from those of you who follow college. Hopefully when can see him in mini camps soon if the lockout ends.
