Andre Woodson

The Giants drafted Kentucky QB Andre Woodson in the 6th round. I think this could end up being the steal of the draft. There was a time during the college football season when there was a debate about who would be the top QB taken, Matt Ryan or Woodson. Now obviously Woodson had some flaws exposed over the course of the season, but the fact that we got him in the 6th round is incredible. He has all the physical tools, his main problem stems from a hitch in his delivery, although it didn't effect him much this year as he set an NCAA record for most consecutive passes thrown without an interception. He could turn into the long-term backup for Eli with potential to be a starter someday (either for us if something happens to Eli, or for someone else after we swindle a boatload of picks from some QB desperate team in a few years)

Overall I'm really happy with this draft. Manningham could be the deep threat we've been waiting for, Woodson could be the next Tom Brady (what? They were both drafted in the 6th round!), and Phillips is gonna be our starting safety. Don't know much about the other guys, but hopefully they'll be good too.

Does this mean?
I figured Wright was gone when they signed Carr. Does Woodson mean the days of the Hefty Lefty are over?

Woodson
CJ, I will post more on this Monday. For now, let me just say I am really intrigued by this pick. Reese took some risks in this draft, and Woodson could turn out to be an excellent backup down the road. Bye-bye, Lorenzen.

I'm gonna miss the big guy
 but I don't remember Woodson celebrating wildly before being beaten by a hail Mary in the final moments. Restraint on the field and at the table is a virtue.

i know that they won't take 5 QBs

but why even take 4? with carr and woodson as backups, there is really no point in keeping on lorenzen or wright.
