For years they have been saying that Eli is not vocal.... But in the Saints game, when Bradshaw screwed up a blocking assignment that lead to quick pressure, and then an INT, Eli was yelling at Bradshaw, and the whole media world stopped, and said why is Eli yelling? Eli is the leader of the offense, no question. Sure he doesnt get everyone pumped up like Brees, but who elese does that? Eli is the leader on the field, and in the end thats all that really matters. Eli leads by example. Now on defense there is a lack of a leader, and I believe that will be Tuck. Some people say that Dansby is a leader, but I am not buying that. Maybe he was a leader for the Cardinals, but it is very hard for a FA to come in and be a leader, especially the high profile guys. Think about LT, Strahan, they were with the team as rookies, they emerged as leaders, they werent brought in. In other words, you cant buy leadership, it has to come from within, something that is home-grown. I wouldnt let that get to you.

The only reason he wasn't more vocal before was he had to take a back seat to veterans like shockey and plax and toomer. Now that he's the older statesman we will see that he is the unquestioned leader of this team. He's already yelling at his recievers and backs when they screw up we will see more this up coming season. Believe you me this ain't your grandpa's Giants.

I've seen him run between the tackles on several occasions and unlike Reggie he isn't afraid of contact. This would be a luxary pick that I would cosign in the second round if he were still available. But if we drafted him my main man bradshaw would be out of a job.

I think there are far greater needs, and would rather trade down to get the position we need, then take one we dont in the 2nd round. I do believe Jerry Reese goes by the BPA to an extent. Usually in the first round he selects a position of need- CB in 2007, S in 08, WR in 09. All the other rounds he usually stick to BPA, but he does focus on certain positions. Say we need a DT, S, and OT in the 2nd round. The highest rated player out of those 3 poisitions would be selected. Not just based on BPA. Sam Bradford could fall to the 2nd round (doubtful, but never know what physical says) does that mean that we should draft Bradford, just because he is best player avil? No, we would focus on our positions of need, and then chose the best player avilable out of that position group. Jerry Reese usually takes this approach (BPA on certain positions) with rounds 2 and 3. Sometimes with 4, but usually rounds 4-7 is strickly BPA. And another note: Reese has not selected a RB higher then the 4th round. RB's are a dime a dozen, and they feel that a guy in the 4th round, can be just as good as a guy in the 1st/2nd round. Just look at our current RBs Jacobs 4th round Brown 4th round Bradshaw 7th round Ware was a late round/UFA (selected by Jets) I am against taking a RB in the first 2 to 3 rounds of the draft.
