He would be a good backup plan. They could draft someone like Myron Rolle in the middle of the draft to develop behind the old man. That old man can still play at a high level, though.I am glad Dansby signed with MIA. Now maybe the Giants can get McClain in the 1st or sign Morrison at a more reasonable price. Dansby was so much about the money that I am wondering if he is suddenly not going to be very motivated now that he got that money.
I think that’s a solid backup plan for it would allow Reese to be flexible in the draft without having such a glaring need at any position and go BPA especially early on, hopefully focusing on LB, S, and OL… although I’d really like to see Rolle signed.As far as Dansby, although I heard that the Giants really liked him, and may have been planning to draft him if Arizona didn’t take him when he came out, there were questions if he was a good fit at MLB in a 3-4 set and at the money he got, I’m glad the Giants didn’t take the risk.
I'm hoping for Rolle, but I'd be happy with any of those guys over having to rely on Michael Johnson, CC Brown
or a rookie.
The way contracts are escalating in the NFL, just because you are the highest paid doesn't mean you are supposed to be the best. It just means you're pretty good and signed your contract most recently.It's the nature of the beast for every team at every position so it's nothing to be worried about.
I understand that but these deals can still wind up being bad for the team. It's the bad teams like WAS who sign guys to overpriced contracts which wind up biting them in the end, but it's a cycle since that is a big reason why those teams are bad in the first place. I just hope this isn't one of those deals. I usually prefer to let other teams sign free agents who are good but not great to contracts that are the highest for his position in history and then my team signs a guy like Sharper or Clark, both of whom can be just as good as Rolle but should come at a much lower price. I do think Rolle provides a great upgrade over what they had, though, so I am optimistic.
The Daily News also reports that Brunell and Garica are on the radar as well.Looks like the Giants are intent on a vet backup. Seems reasonable. Have a vet plan while they see if Bomar can develop.
Well, he's currently the Giants starting MLB, but that doesn't mean mch.Lost most of his rookie year to various injuries and starting the last 5 games last year when Pierce was injured.He's a smart player who showed some improvement but I'd say the odds are good that the Giants will draft a MLB pretty high in the draft meaning Goff, a former 5th round pick, will have to compete for the job at best.So no "unthinkable", but I'm thinking less than likely as well.39407 said:
The problem with Goff is that the sample size of his work in the NFL is so small, Giants really don't know what they have in him and I don't think the Giants can risk rolling with what they have at LB so unless Goff wow's in camp, I'd expect a high draft pick or some vet signing like Morrison to be starting in the middle next year.
That is because their FB is extremely overrated. he is a pretty good run blocker who has NO offensive game at all and does not need to be accounted for. Hedgecock is not very valuable IMO
This is the plan we should all hope for.
I'm warming up to the idea of Witherspoon as well.
Well, it looks like Vacchiano was off for I just heard that Pat Hanlon reported that Jim Sorgi just signed a one year deal with the Giants.
I dunno. The Iggles made no attempt to hold on to Spoon and we've seen how well we've done picking up their rejects. I like Spoon but I don't want to have to rely on him.
I've seen him projected to be WLB and MLB, depending on who you talk to. Very athletic specimen who would bring speed to the position. I've read rumors that a number of teams are looking at him from mid teens down to the bottom of the first round.Would 15 be too early to take him? Maybe maybe not, but if Spikes running a 5 seconds 40 scares you away and you want the top tier of LB who are suited to play in the middle of a 4-3, from what I'd read and seen, the tier probably ends after McClain or Weatherspoon and I'd hate to see the Giants trade down and miss out on both just to pick up an extra 3rd... unless they make pre-draft moves to sure up the position.
I think the 40 time is a vastly overrated stat as and one should only really take notice if they are unusually low or unusually high.Having said that a 5 second 40 for a LB is horrific.I wouldn't want to touch him until at least the 3rd myself.
What happened to Ross and Thomas?A CB in the second round looks like a luxury pick to me.
Much of this makes little sense to me.They are a team trying to get better.GordonGekko said:
Understatement...
I don't think the G-Men will take Rolle in the 2nd (then again, I haven't exactly been confused for a draftnik -- see earlier in this thread where I had a brain fart about Thomas/Ross when asking about McCourty), but if he's still hanging around in the 3rd, I think that would be the perfect place to snag him. Intelligence, character, and ability would be something I think would be very tough for Reese to pass on...bigern1000 said:yes it wasI don't think this move means that the Giants won't draft a S in this draft
Maybe Rolle from FSU or the kid from LSU (can't remember his name)
and
I agree 100% with keeping Osi instead of drafting Paul who I see as a project
I am open to the idea of Spiller but don't think he will be there at 15 and I don't want to see them trade up for any player in this draft (not that they care what I want)I wouldn't be surprised to see them take the kid from Miss St in the 2nd or 3rd as an offensive weapon
I love how he has now deleted his post.
