Go Giants!

NO ONE better in the entire NCAA. Yeah, I’ll take that. Jam the line, watch Nicks and Cruz shred your D. Lay back in coverage, watch Wilson break your LB’s arm tackle and go for an extra five yards. Stack the line and double the WRs and Eli finds Bennett. Got no issue with that at all.

First…not many better character guys in the draft. Yes ma’am, no ma’am type that was loved in the locker room.
Also not many better athletes in the draft. Was part of a national champion relay track team. So although he’s 40 was lower than expected, don’t sweat that.
Also a load to bring down…again…great athlete.
His only knock is vision and that could be biased. The homies o-line was bad last year so there wasn’t much to see. That’s also where the knock of ‘tries to do too much’ comes from. If not much is there, a back gets frustrated and tries to do too much…not enough north/south, too much east/west.
With the giants coaching, I think he’s gonna thrive (which sucks). And he will be the star of multiple sportscenter highlights.
If you have young kids, he’s known for going out of his way for autographs and to help the youth so try and get them in front of him.
I wish nothing but luck to him. I hope he does great, but the giants finish below the redskins for once. Hey a guy can dream.

They simply take the next guy in line. Giants have enough picks to move up int he 2nd and get a OL. Patience young grasshoppas.

This has all the makings of a “panic” move, after Doug Martin was drafted just ahead of them.

He could be another, healthier Bradshaw or he could be another Scott or he could be anything in-between.

One thing we know. Coughlin hates backs that fumble and can’t pick up blitzes and I don’t believe for a moment that Wilson was ranked ahead of Martin and was at the absolute top of the Giants’ draft board when picked. General Managers and coaches lie, especially when the alternative of telling the truth about preferring Martin over Wilson is not an option.

Giants panic and select a 3rd round RB.”

Which Super Bowls did the team you GM for win, again? How many Pro Bowlers have you drafted? Just want make sure I have your record straight so we can compare you and JR head to head. When are you assclowns going to realize that you know NOTHING about a draft pick’s future success until after the guy plays in his first couple of NFL seasons.

The Giants GM who has contributed to two titles in 5 years knows more about scouting football players than everyone on this site combined will know in all of our combined lifetimes. In Reese we trust! Welcome to the Giants, Mr. Wilson.

This is a need position and with NFC east getting strong at CB, this is a move to put pressure on LB. Andre Brown is probably gone and Ware to me has not lived up to expectations. Bradshaw missed games and has foot problems. Obviously the Giants didn’t like the guys left in the draft room and felt that TE/OL they could get later. Reese has not missed on 1st rounders, great move.

How he has built 2 Superbowl champions by drafting the “best player available”.

This pick clearly shows thats a load of crap. There is NO WAY Wilson was the “best player available”.

But upon further review it’s not bad, he has nearly the same grade as Martin and highest guy left on the board in Glenn was only an 88. The next highest rated RB was 74.5, I certainly didn’t want Fleener as I think he is horribly overrated, especially considering the dearth of talent in the late 2nd-3rd– many of the tight ends will be solid and Fleener is overrated because of his combine and TE’s this year. Probably would have rather had Lavonte David of Glenn, maybe even a converted upshaw, but still a sold pick considering how little talent there is at running back further down.
