Offer the shockey picks, the compensatory 3rd rounder and sinorice moss for Braylon

It's not easy being Giants fan in Philly.. but it sure is satisfying

That video shows a lot of ability, but it is from his big 2007 season. One thing is clear watching these. Both are very good, but very different. Boldin is catch and run, get the short dump offs, screens and quick throws to him and let him do his thing. Edwards is more of a beat the corner down the field deep threat. But, I won’t complain if either of them winds up in a Giant uniform.

The dump passes won't work

Eli doesn’t throw dump passes well for some reason and that’s all Boldin catches. Edwards just kinda reminds me of Plax with the #17, even tho Edwards is 3 times as fast. I also think that yea Edwards is kinda of a butterfingers, but was Plax really Mr. reliable at catching the ball? Yea Eli can throw a lot of ducks, but an NFL receiver should be able to catch geese when they are thrown let alone ducks(?).

And Hoya, not only would the Browns be nuts for settling on Moss (or maybe the Giants plan to use him and aren’t offering?) but you can’t trade the compensatory pick.

I think Edwards is the better fit given that the giants have lived with Plax’s pancake hands they can live with Edwards, especially since he has more talent than plax.
