So let me get this straight... So far we have picked 2 WR, an OT, a RB, a QB ,a TE, and ONE f*ckING DEFENSIVE PLAYER??? REALLY?? WE ALREADY HAVE A TOP 3 O LINE, A TOP 3 RB, AN UP AND COMING TE, AND A TOP 10 QB. I'M OK WITH THE RECEIVERS ALTHOUGH I WOULD HAVE MOVED THAT #1 FOR EDWARDS OR BOLDIN IN A f*ckING HEARTBEAT AND THE KID OUT OF PITTSBURGH IS A f*ckING REACH. HEY JERRY, GO GET ME SOME f*ckING DEFENSE YOU DUMB SPOOK WE PLAY IN THE GODDAM NFC EAST !!!! Edited by BleacherCreature, Apr 26 2009, 03:47 PM.

My problem with the draft is that they didn't trade for Edwards. I'll get into that at some other point. I think you're forgetting they signed three free agents on defense. The needs on defense are linebacker and depth at cornerback. The only playmaking LB in this crop was Aaron Curry (who reminds me of Patrick Willis) and teams ain't letting athletic linebackers slip out of the top 10 anymore. Clint Simtim was like a, "Eh, f*ck it, we need a linebacker, right?" pick to me. He's a middle class man's Reggie Torbor. Can't cover for sh*t but he can rush the passer. Maybe he's a situational rusher on third down... when all 11 players on defense, I assume, will be defensive ends. I would've passed on him and gone safety or cornerback there. And this is a bad cornerback class. It's a need position, but there's probably only 2-3 prospects who you think will be good. I like the Ramses Barden pick. Small school, but he was crazy productive and I like his physical skills. He's 6'6", 230 and cut and he's got like a 35" vertical. If nothing else, he should at least be a red zone threat who draws attention down there. I didn't know who Travis Beckum was (and I don't like his name; his name makes me fear him getting a torn ACL in training camp and not amounting to sh*t) but checking out his Combine numbers and seeing his highlight reel, I kinda like that pick. He's a Dustin Keller clone, even kinda looks like him. Similar size (Bickum's an inch taller) and Keller ran a 4.55 last year, Bickum ran a 4.54 this year. They're used in similar ways, running underneath and intermediate routes and using their speed to get small separation. If he sees the field, I think he and Smith will give Eli the 8- to 12-yard range targets. And you can bring him out of the back field on swing passes, line him up at fullback, split him to the slot a little and f*ck around. He can't block for sh*t, but he allows an offense to get creative and move him around. Like Keller. However, Gilbride is the OC and we know the Giants offense is anything but imaginative. I was more excited about the RB pick when I thought it was Aaron Brown, the lil' speedy ***** from TCU. I figured he was being taken as a kick returner. Andre Brown is a Derrick Ward type with alright speed (ran a 4.49, but he doesn't show that speed in games) and size, but who runs really hard and can break tackles. But I'd rather not use that high a pick on a RB when they've already got 3 and he's gonna struggle to get playing time. I don't know what the f*ck the Rhett Bomar pick was for since they've already got a QB project with a strong arm and bad mechanics in Andre Woodson. And at least Woodson was productive in college and elevated his team, unlike Bomar who f*cked up and cost himself at OU. Wasted pick. The guy probably won't make the team. |
