New York Giants News & Notes: Giants Taking Care Of Chad Jones

by cjmulrain on Jul 7, 2010 11:01 AM EDT in New York Giants News

Good morning, Giants fans. It's still unknown whether Chad Jones will be able to play football again, but the Giants are taking responsibility for his medical treatment, whether he'll ever join the team or not. It's good to hear, and I'm glad that everyone seems to be pretty realistic when talking about his chances of returning to the field.

USA Today takes a look at the Giants disappointing season and what the owners are expecting for the season to come.

Jerry Reese was back in his home state of Tennessee recently, talking to kids at a Boys & Girls Club about his life story.

The Star Ledger continues its summer questionnaire series with Giants safety Deon Grant.

Finally, the popular saying is that you can't grade an NFL draft until three years later. Well, it's been three years since that 2007 draft that helped propel the Giants to the Super Bowl, and the USA Today has the grades. The Giants come out with an A-, with only the Patriots, Jets, and Vikings graded ahead of them. It's hard to complain too much about having the fourth best grade in the NFL, but I disagree that Steve Smith isn't a "star." Sure, he's not Adrian Peterson, but he led the league in receptions last year and was a pro bowler.

Good Links!

I like the approach this season:

Get back to Black and Blue. Hit someone and ask questions later.

Now I’m upset again about losing Jones. He was as big as a LB and plenty fast. That guy would have become the enforcer.

the rookie grades didn't even include Boss

he should at least be mentioned in that blurb….

I would say we should have gotton an A

Steve Smith was a Pro Bowler last season, Ross was hurt most of last year but he did start at CB in the Super Bowl, and they did not even mention our starting Tight End came out of that Draft.

I always like to give players 4 years in the league, some guys are late bloomers, after 4 years you pretty much know what you have in a player.

I completely disagree w/ USA Today

Call me a homer, I’ll never deny it, but we def had the best draft that year. Sure, the Pats got two superstars that year, but they were acquired in trades during the draft. I’m not sure that’s even a just comparison. Still, those players all contributed to that Super Bowl win, which was over those A+ graded Pats. And all 8 are still on the roster. Amazing.
