NFL Draft: In 4th round, Giants select Phillip Dillard, MLB, Nebraska

So you profile only the seven choices we most want….and save Reese the reading time and the decision making from among your choices ;-D

Finally the giants adressed that goff isn’t a starter, yet. Dillard is what this team needed because goff is not near a good starter at inside linebacker

Kirk morrison got traded to the jags. The giants again just sat around and didn’t try to do anything outside the box to get somebody inside the box that would have made me a lot more comfortable with our lbs

I love Norwood for us. Keeping my fingers crossed.

We are hoping another 4th round pick blossoms into a Pro Bowl player. I hope we got it right this year. For just one draft, I’d like to see an impact LB drafted that can come in right away and do some things.

Pick this is a rich draft we need to make move to more big gap between picks

I don’t see where there’s a big need for a linebacker on the roster. I keep hearing how we gotta get a LB to replace Pierce but with no salary cap this year there’s no Demeco Ryans, Barett Ruud, etc. This free agent class only had one MLB I’d have take before the 4th round and that was McClain. The Giants obviously agree because they didn’t draft any and passed up both Washington and Sean Lee. Its not a big deal at all plus who says one of these late rong guys or a priority free agent can’t contribute. Antonio Pierce was an undrafted free agent.

to quote another regular poster, meh.

JPP. Hated it when it happened, mellowed upon reading Ed’s thoughtful post, back to hating it. I’ll give Ed that this was a bold pick, which is just a positive way of saying it is a risky, reach pick. Reese said you want to get on base, hit singles, doubles. No way you can say that with JPP, since he’s played all of 6 major college games. Think about it: ET goes at 14, JPP at 15. Roughly equivalent value? I’m not a talent evaluator, but geez…..

Linval Joseph: Fat guy in the middle. Not mobile outside the box, little likelihood of rush up the middle. Takes up space against run. Best we could do? Really?

Chad Jones: Finally, a pick I feel good about. Good value for R3. Tremedous hitter, athletic, great upside.

Dillard: I can’t fault Reese for focus on the D, where it should be. But, not a difference maker here. I just wonder whether he should have been a bit more aggressive to see if you could get a difference maker here. How ’bout doing what the Jets did….move up to take the SC back?

i don’t know these players like Reese and Co., and they have forgotten more about football than I know, but I find it hard to get excited about these picks.

but i dont like the pick of philip dillard.. he probably isnt going to do much…im real mad we didnt get akwasi owusu-ansah! depth at corner is always good and he is real good on special teams!

Cmon Reese
