So If Joe Haden becomes a shutdown corner that would be a good pick because Aron Ross is an excellent nickel corner but was also drafted in the first round a steep price for a nickel corner he could be a good safety in the mold of an antrel rolle. I could live with spending a 1st round pick on him as long as he's starting somewhere. That means no safety in the second, a line backer then. I would be happy with that draft but only if we were moving someone to safety. Thoughts anyone? 1st round picks have to start eventually to justify the pick.

That's fair. I like him a lot and I think he represents top 15 value to me personally (especially on the Giants board which won't include any Quarterbacks) Instead of Eric Berry the guy I would hold out hope for is CB Joe Haden. He's getting some Darrel Revis comparisons I think the Giants could draft Revis and make a committment to keeping Ross at Safety or moving TT there for good, which I would also be O.K. with it. If Berry slips past 10 I can see the Giants trading up a few spots for him. Jason C. That’s fair.

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:00:05 +0000 http://www.giantsgab.com/?p=3613#comment-11929 I was slowly slipping over to the dark side and giving in to the idea that we aren't going to get Eric Berry, then I see him projected to go 13 to the 49ers in a few mocks, and there's always a few guys that jump into the top 10 out of nowhere, so I'm still holding out hope. I didn't mean Thomas wasn't worth drafting in the first round, he is, I just feel for the Giants there should be someone they rank higher on the board at 15.

That's exactly how Al Davis drafts. Its NOT a coincidence that profootballtalk, and McShay have him going to the Raiders at 8th (Much like Darrius Heyward Bey) I disagree about Earl Thomas. He's super talented and young. He is similar to Jarius Byrd....the same Jaris Byrd who had 9 INT in essentially 11 games as a safety and in only 14 games played. You tell me what team wouldn't take more than an INT in every other game played. Let's hope a team doesn't make that same mistake they had last year with Bryd. Also remember that Byrd played Cornerback in College so he was transitining positions so there was worry about that. Earl Thomas is more experienced at safety. Just my own personal take. Jason C

The fifth or sixth best lineman in the draft shouldn't be drafted with the 15th pick. If he's the best one there at the time that means another position like DT should have great value.

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 12:12:32 +0000 http://www.giantsgab.com/?p=3613#comment-11915 Earl Thomas is more of a round 2 prospect to me, also he is the exact height and weight as Jairus Byrd, not sure if that was pointed out before or not, but there's one thing there (similar players as far as I read as well). Kindle is pretty much Sintim as far as I'm concerned, and if we're going to draft anyone in the first round on defense, with the way they played this year he damn well better be ready to start week 1. Also, who gives a crap about an O-Lineman's 40 time? If that really sends him shooting up the draftboard so be it, anyone who drafts O-Linemen based on their 40 time deserves to overpay for it.
