Ben McAdoo on Sterling Shepard: "He has a bigger catch radius than someone who is 5-10." #Giants
Well if Cruz is back, then one of them needs to play outside  
PatersonPlank : 4/29/2016 8:02 pm : link
I guess it really doesn't matter which one.
Wow  
XBRONX : 4/29/2016 8:02 pm : link
just 8 drops in four years. Great hands
we won't use the traditional #1, #2, slot WR offense  
SHO'NUFF : 4/29/2016 8:03 pm : link
all our muthafuckas can run circles around anybody...omg, we're putting up 30+ points a game without TC's influence.

Yeah Eli sucked last year and wasn't able to throw...
I like Shepard really loved to have gotten Spriggs  
Mason : 4/29/2016 8:03 pm : link
but understood the need at WR. If Dable and Davis or anything. And Cruz is back as Beason said with Harris. That is a good WR corp to complement OBJ.

Now if we can deal for Davis we look for a safety.


I must be out of the loop. What are you talking about here?
Let's not forget McAdoo's use of Vereen

1) Leads in with Eli Apple being controversial, "Let's see if they get this one right." Because Apple is already wrong. Jesus.

Uhh - Mayock said he was one of his favorite players in the draft.
Yes!

I don't know if he's a true #2 WR  
David B. : 4/29/2016 8:04 pm : link
But he'll definitely be a great addition at a need position.
Four fantastic WRs  
Anakim : 4/29/2016 8:04 pm : link
Height be damned. Excellent route running, speed, quickness and heart define these four WRs.

The H and Z receivers  
B in ALB : 4/29/2016 8:07 pm : link
are crazy flexible now with Shepard able to play both and presumably VC coming back healthy.

This pick opens up a lot of options in the book.

And no. Victor Cruz is NOT on notice. Gimme a fuckin break.
now work out a deal for Anthony Davis  
SHO'NUFF : 4/29/2016 8:07 pm : link
and we can skip OT and go straight to LB/S.
Hard to Argue  
Percy : 4/29/2016 8:09 pm : link
With this pick, my own fav for round two. What to do about RT or RG? Or LB or FS? Hell, you can only do so much in the draft. (Sorry-- putting this in late.)

Indeed they do, slot receiver in RD. 2, okay.
I guess Spriggs would not have been value at #40?

they showed on NFLN highlight package of Shepard was awesome. Wonder how the 3 wide package looks with OBJ, Shepard and Cruz, if Cruz stays healthy. Would like to see Davis in three wides if his talent level jumps in year two.

Absolutely. There's no reason why you can't have two slot receivers at the same time and there's no reason why either of those guys can't run sideline routes.

and Vareen in the backfield.

dune69 : 4/29/2016 8:12 pm : link
about seeing Eli throw to these three receivers. OBJ, VC, and SS are end zone bound.
Why don't we trade up  
5BowlsSoon : 4/29/2016 8:12 pm : link
To get a tackle. So what if we give up our third and 4th or 5th to do it.

The Giants aren't signing Boldin
I think alot of people are  
Mike B from JC : 4/29/2016 8:13 pm : link
Misconceived, They are not going to pick a oline unless it's a BPA. If a better rated fs or olb are there, they are going to be the pick. They like Hart alot, even at RT.
We don't need Boldin at this point  
Anakim : 4/29/2016 8:13 pm : link
Louis Vasquez would be nice though

SHO'NUFF : 4/29/2016 8:13 pm : link
teams will have to draft and field more "slot" cornerbacks in the future to counter OBJ/VC/SS.
Spriggs and Whitehair

It's pressure coverages on secondaries,opens up game for runs, especially sweeps, spreading sides out wider.
OBJ loves it

He seems like the type of crusty old vet they would sign short term. Can't rely on a rookie to perform like a starter for a full year.
