Complete list of Giants' draft picks (+ full draft order)

Love the 4th rounders are 4 picks apart

penalties, but the NFL denotes it as if the slot still exists, just without anyone picking in it.

Reese & Co. can work with that.

Man having the last pick in the 1st round just reminded me. yes!!!!

and the Giants have 2 players they want, how do they decide which one to pick first minimizing their risk of losing the other?

one they want more?

considering how badly we messed up this year with a SB win. Wouldn't be that much worse if we just missed the play offs or went out in the first round, so I guess it was OK to win.

the wheelers and dealers rush to their draft charts to calculate how far we can push our top pick by dealing our original 4th.

Round 4, pick 35, #131 overall (compensatory selection)

This should read:

Round 4, pick 36, #131 overall (compensatory selection)

not the first, slim in the 2nd. A 3rd or 4th round move maybe.

I would love to see the Giants move up in Round 2 to get a less bust prone canidate who is more ready to contribute day 1. I know Reese and the scouts are some of the best in the league evaluating talent, but we DID just win the superbowl and we have a lot of depth right not. Some of the draft pick this year we won't have room for. 8 picks! How many of them will actually make the roster or join the practice squad?

you are getting a more bust proof candidate.. Sinorice Moss anyone..

Their philosophy is to bring in good football players and create competition.

He also traded up to get Ramses Barden. The jury is still out on that one, but the last vote was 11-1 to convict.

Reese has had very little movement of draft picks since 2007. You have those two and a couple late ones in minor player deals, that I recall.

I hope he stays put. I wouldn't mind a trade down from 32, assuming we could find someone who wanted to trade up, but that's it.

Really knows if we will move up in the early rounds or not but I trust in Reese if he decides to do so. He has tried before and did not pull the trigger so you could say eventually he will make a move up

It's almost a crapshoot, I'll take quantity over projected quality.

I'd try and move up to get either Massie or Givens in Round 2....imo neither will be available at #63. The red chip cut line is somewhere mid round 2 as I see it.

I think there's a perfectly reasonable chance that Givens is available at the end of the second.

....thats why we do this.

sounds good to me. We should be able to address some of the many needs.

It's a really deep WR class. There may be a run on them in the second and even then, Givens may be available. Think about some of the top guys, even after Blackmon, Floyd, Hill and Wright:

Randle, Jeffrey, Toon, McNutt, Sanu, Wylie, Adams...etc.

The order will shake itself out but, if not Givens, we should still be in the position to draft a talented WR at the end of the second.

...I like Givens a lot. Better than all those guys you named with the exception of Randle, who imo has a chance to go late round 1. What we need at WR is a guy that can go vertical and put fear into the safeties and d-coordinators. There isn't a burner wideout on our roster atm. Nicks, Cruz, Jernigan, Barden, Hixon have some speed but nothing eyepopping. I'd be willing to move our own 4th rounder to make sure I add that dimension. Maybe you wouldn't, maybe a lot of people wouldn't. I doubt the Giants will, but I would.

BTW I'd target Massie before Givens, I think he's going to be the best RT coming out of this draft in a couple years.

...if they are all good. Did anyone think four rookie linebackers would make the team in 2011?

Even without injuries or surprise cuts, there's probably room for an offensive lineman, a tight end, a running back, two receivers, a defensive tackle, a defensive end, two cornerbacks, a safety and a linebacker or two. Again, that's assuming that they don't suck.

Anyway, there will probably be a clunker or two in the first seven picks. Adding an eighth pick improves the chances of upgrading the roster.

out of the 1st round is the limitation on contract length. 1st-round contracts can have a 5th-year option. 2nd-round contracts are capped at 4 years.

Brian Alford.

He appeared in just 6 games making 2 catches.
Lonk to Article - ( New Window )

Who cares, Cruz & Nicks get open deep almost at will.

"WE NEED A BURNER!!!" nonsense.

And their first pick is not until 3RD round, #89.

Too bad.

no doubt, and changes defensive alignments which open up other options. But foremost we need guys who run good routes and can catch. Our offense when running right will get guys open and we have the QB to get it there. We could go speed if we are sure the target can do the first two things.

to find out the times the draft will run on the 26th-28th?

for 8 rookies if they can play. If anyone thinks the Giants are so deep there won't be room for good draft picks to make the team, they are kidding themselves.

Here is a quick list of names of players that were on 53 man Super Bowl roster that are either gone or seem likely to be gone: Mario Manningham, Aaron Ross, Brandon Jacobs, Kareem McKenzie, Dave Tollefson, Rocky Bernard, Deon Grant,Derrick Martin, Tony Ugoh.

That's 9 and doesn't include Will Blackmon (since TT is coming back and was on IR) or our 2 TEs that will likely start the season on PUP. Austin and Beatty

There is plenty of room for rookie draft picks, and there will probably be room for an URFA or two.

If the Giants wanted to move up in any one of the first 3 rounds by trading the pick in that round plus their own 4th round pick, can someone estimate how much they move in that round? For example, if it's round 1, they would move up 2 slots or whatever. If it's 2nd round round, it's this. In know people here know how to calculate that.

My comment is that for CAP purposes, the Giants will continue to bring in more UFDAs this year as they did last year. One of the best ways to offset the large number of big dollar contracts the Giants have is by offsetting with much cheaper contracts and you don't get much cheaper than UFDAs and low round picks. I think they had 12 first year players last year and will probably have a large number this year as well

moved up a couple times this year. They usually don't but with the extra 4th rounder plus they don't have many spots for low round rookies, it could be the year that they try to do it.

Five or six spots in round two. Only two or three spots in round one.

are not as settled as some suggest. A lot of UFA's won't be coming back. There will be a fairly sizable turnover (which seems to be the norm now in the NFL).

We are more settled than anyone else..Champions, flawed or not usually are..

Most importantly we have one of the most settled coaching staffs and the best QB in the game along with Aaron Rodgers

this will set the tone of the franchise for a while..

both those 4th round picks could conceivably be among NYG's 3rd round rated talent
