Who should I pick?

for them, but I can see the rationale. Moreno is simply the best talent left on the board and by a large margin. Wells is probably the next best talent left. There are really no clear 1st rounders left at our need positions (WR, LB, & OL) in this draft.

and like potroast said, by a lot. I was tempted by Sintim, Loadholt, and Unger, but the scouting report on Moreno is just way better than all of them, and there’s a good chance that one of those 3 will be available with the Giants 2nd pick.

Early in the offseason I was against drafting Moreno or a RB, but the more I think of it the more it makes sense. None of us understood why the Giants took Tuck and Kiwi in back to back drafts when we already had Strahan and Osi, but it obviously worked out very well. I love Jacobs, but you can’t deny that he’s injury prone, and I’m not convinced that Bradshaw is anything more than a change of pace back. The only thing I don’t like is that I really think Ware has a chance to be as good as Ward has been, and this might relegate him to 4th RB status again, but Moreno has a chance to become a legit #1 back, so I think it would be worth it.

If the Giants really think English cannot be a SOLB, then Beatty is probably a good option.

Beatty to me may be a step below the top guys, but not by much. All the top LT’s this year aren’t elite, and Beatty may have just as much potential as all of them, especially if he is drafted by the Giants and the way they teach O-Lineman.

But I still think that even Beatty is a reach here and there are other guys in round 2-3 that the Giants could do just as good with.

Knowshon Moreno should NOT be traded to the Browns. In fact, nothing should be traded to the Browns, Edwards is not the answer there. Moreno is the next TIki……….

and the Browns still want to trade Edwards after the draft and ask for a RB, I’d give them Bradshaw or Ware but wouldn’t let them touch Moreno or Jacobs.

Especially for Edwards

I also love this guy. If he ends up with the Giants I won’t complain about that at all.

almost voted for him, but I just think it’s too hard to pass up on a talent like Moreno, especially considering neither RB or OL are a need. I wouldn’t mind seeing them take Moreno here and then maybe try to move up into the early 2nd round (or heck, maybe the Steelers are looking to trade out of the 1st round) and try to take Unger.

think a WR is there other than Robiskie.

Also what about a TE. I’ve been lobbying for Jared COok for the longest time and why not? He’d be a reach yea, but so was Dustin Keller for the Jets. I know copying the Jets is never a good idea, but this guy was legit.

thinking the same thing. Who else?

I really don’t think the Giants are “SET” at RB. Like many know, Bradshaw and Ware are far from sure bets. Jacobs is a bet to get injured at some point, tho hopefulyl not too severely. Bradshaw is nice, but he fumbles a lot in his limited duty.

Danny Ware looks every bit the next Derrick Ward. And even tho Ware hasn’t played at all pretty much, D-Ward barely played at all and stepped right in and did what he did.

But still, Moreno like I’ve been saying is a Tiki Barber type. Id say he has much greater potential too given that he is faster and has no ball security issues right now, while Tiki took a while to cure that.

I don’t know about you, but while I like Jacobs, Bradshaw and even Ware, if the Giants had Tiki in his prime ALL of these guys would be backups. Tiki was the man regardless of how he went out.

than Diehl even at his worst.

Plus, Loadholdt just doesn’t fit the Giants mold. THey prefer athletic O-Lineman rather than just all out maulers.

I guess maybe as a RT he’d be nice, but I even think Boothe is not a bad future option there. Whenever McKenzie was injured Boothe would come in and I didn’t even notice he wasn’t there.

and “dime a dozen-ed” himself right out of the job.

Being a skill position, and one that notoriously shortens careers, I believe RBs will always get paid more than LTs. One need only look as far as the Giants’ own roster to confirm that.

Last year Id say that Kenny Phillips was not only the Best player available, but obviously filled a need.

Thing is the Giants have NO glaring needs. The WR is what most people think, but Reese has said that he like the WR on the roster. Yea, they need O-Line depth, but its just that..Depth. Your gonna draft a 1st rounder to back up for a couple years? Who knows who will fall into the Giants laps next year when it may actually be a need?

RB isn’t a need either, but Id say after losing Ward there are just as many questions there as any. Jacobs has All-Pro ability, but he’s gonna get hurt. Bradshaw may be great, but his fumbling and inexperience are still there. Ware may be better than all of them, but he is the most inexperienced.

Yea, Moreno may relegate one of these guys to 4th RB (well, not Jacobs). I also know that the Giants have a horrible history with 1st round RB’s. But if people were clamoring for Beanie Wells, then Id say that given the past that Wells is too similar to Tyrone Wheatley. But Moreno is too similar to Tiki Barber, more so than any other RB in the draft. Why not if he’s there?

Mighty Mouse couldn’t come and save the day (season)!!! Moreno isn’t gonna be able to do it either.
Using our 1st on him is not good use of it. Trade it before taking him just for the sake of taking him. Only 28 guys will be gone from the entire draft; there’s gonna be no greater values left??
