Martin would be a great pick, but if they can get Turbin a round or two later and fill some other needs then I like that as well. I know they are looking at Slowly, but I don't know much about him
Oh yeah his chip blocks were insane. Loved watching him blow someone up on a chip block
Him and Pierce if they slip towards the end of day 2/early day 3 seem much closers to the Giants M.O. than a RB early. When was the last time the GMen drafted a RB before round 4?
Glad to see it as well, just hope he is healthy once the season starts
I'd be for it. He's not flashy but he'll be cheap and knows the system.
Paid way to much for a guy coming off a serious injury
The way it's structured it's inexpensive the first two years. If he can't return to form then it's easy to cut him. If he returns to form and continues to develop he'll be getting fair pay.
Gaither is too but all are probably to expensive.I did read Winston failed his physical for the Texans.
Great signing for the Giants. Carlson got 25 for 5 from the Vikes to be a backup. Great value for a guy with a lot of upside. Jerry Reese is pretty good at what he does.
And concerns with his effort aren't a big deal since it's a one year deal. He should be plenty motivated.
Absolutely. He's playing for a contract from day 1. Hungry players don't sit back and get fat off their big paychecks.
I've watched a highlight of Martellus Bennett beating him on a jump ball for a TD. From what I've read is that Horton has about 12 games of starting experience and that he's a big hitter. My expectation is that he's a special teamer and might compete with Sash and maybe Jones for the Deon Grant role.
This from the Mendenhall thread.
Don't get me wrong, I'd be fine with the Giants landing Stewart, but before we start spending grocery money in 2013, we need to lock up Cruz AND Nicks.
Good point. Much more important to sign them.
I agree plus JPP is going to want/need a raise sometime soon as well
Ross' play will be missed. He is not an elite talent, but he a very good player who I feel is underrated. He played a very nice role in both of the Giants SB runs.
Ideally I'd have liked to see Ross remain however my expectation as a first rounder is that Prince should ascend ahead of him on the depth chart. Based on that if Prince is the number 3 we would've then been paying that Jacksonville contract for our 4th cornerback. That's a tough expense to support given our salary cap. Ross was an up and down guy that at times would play an excellent game versus a strong receiver to the point you didn't think he had it in him. Right about the time you started beleiving he had elevated his game he'd have a clunker. I didn't dislike him but I can't argue the decision to let him walk.
I agree nothing ‘sexy’ about any of the moves but they are nice moves to build depth and maybe find a starter (Locklear and/or Rivers) and it looks like Reese will have the flexibility to do what he says he likes to do in the draft which is take the best available player. I know many consider Rivers a bust in Cincy but I think he falls into that category because he couldn’t stay healthy not because he wasn’t any good.Hope he can stay healthy and help the LB unit. What LB position did he play in Cincy and which LB position suits his skill set the best?
I think the Rivers move is real sexy. He is probably a top 2 or 3 linebacker on the Giants ...only Boley is a more established LB. He may not have been as dynamic as the Bengals would have expected from the 9th overall pick but he was a starter from day one and despite the injuries was one of the Bengals leading tacklers. I think this is a huge pickup.'Yenrub said:
We know that if they draft a RB the RB won’t be Trent Richardson. So which RB do you guys want the Giants to draft?I think they will wait until the 2nd round to pick a RB especially if the only RB off the board when they pick in the 1st is Richardson. I think some defensive lineman who isn’t expected to fall will fall and Reese will scoop him up in the 1st
