PrintThe New York Giants took North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin [full profile] with the 52nd pick of the 2011 NFL Draft. Austin is a 6-foot-3, 310-pounder with immense talent. He is a "high-risk, high-reward" player.

i love
The pick this kid is going to be a beast as long as he has the right attitude and I believe TC knows how to fix his attitude

I like the pick
I think the LB’s and CB’s get better with better interior linemen. I’m hoping Austin has an attitude and Joseph learns to play. Stops runs and creates pressure on QB’s. Giants “D” was statistically better than what I saw on the field.
I like it too
The Giants will be better off drafting for the defense and getting free agents for the O-line. Once the lockout ends, lots of guys will be available. Better off letting a rookie get his feet wet on defense than defending Eli’s blind side.
well
I thought it wld be Paea but Austin is a beast..we have the leadership to deal with him ! Its a win in my book…Mason foster in the 3rd & I’ll be happy
wake me up at draft time..

Peae doesn't get to the passer much - he's very similar to Cofield
We needed a real 3-tech like Austin

That's what they have to do
with this kid, high risk, high reward type. Did they get value, most definitely…The rest is up to him.

nothing
I hate more in a player coming out of college than this kids profile. I’m not familiar at all with him except for reading about him and watching one clip of him. I’ve read many player profiles that said, “questionable work ethic” and the like, but his is the worst I’ve seen. We very well may have the veteran leadership to keep him in line, but, I don’t want players where you have to try so hard. Doesn’t sound like he loves football or hard work. I’m very worried about this kid.
The draft and who we might get has been posted to death and then back to life. I've lost interest in the draft until the day comes....
Trouble
Joseph, Austin, Backflip… Young line that will be trouble for years to come.
Yea Baby
The greatest player ever!!!
you have such a way with words
the only thing that can make this better is if you posted it every 5 comments 40 times
Wonder if they considered Martez WIlson
It hought they’d consider Wilson there with his speed. I wonder if they did. I’m glad they didn’t reach for an OL like James Brewer or something there.
We ignored OL and LB again
Yay
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
Never said that
But you can’t just ignoring the positions until 3rd or 4th round every year, and expect to do well.
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
based on the round 1 and 2 picks alone
and our 10-6 record last year, i expect us to do quite well
I see Blue, he looks glorious!
What happened last year? Oh that's right, our O-line fell apart midseason
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
we should have drafted a WR in the first too
because our WR corps were all injured too…
Not comparable
Four of our five starters on O-line are over age of 30
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
AGAIN
not giving up on Petrus, or Beatty.
Can’t judge draft picks after one or two years. Seriously.
I see Blue, he looks glorious!
i bet last season
some people would have argued against adding to the OL because we had a good, established line. point is you never know. just try to have the best 52 players possible
nothing personal
justing joking about the picking for need concept in general…last year pierre-paul seemed like a luxury, but one or two injuries and we needed him
yeah
because weve done so well with the o linemen we pick up late in the draft every year
I think they will take a LB in free agency
I heard that all of SD’s guys are free agents. They can all work out for us.

I like the pick.....
But, we came in needing OL and LBS.
Where is that?
I think you draft for the future… So I’m cool with these picks!
NFL.com on Austin
Pick Analysis: Jerry Reese doesn’t get enough credit for his willingness to add talent to positions of strength. Austin is a legitimate first-round talent with the potential to be a dominant interior player in their one-gap scheme. His combination of strength, power and athleticism is off the charts, and he should be a terrific contributor as part of a deep defensive line rotation.
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
exactly, another example of BPA
wayy too good of value to pass up at the spot, regardless of positions of need.
Reese said he was going that route before the draft, and he has not disappointed
I see Blue, he looks glorious!
Except for the fact
that he’s lazy and a quitter and might just not like football all that much.
The draft and who we might get has been posted to death and then back to life. I've lost interest in the draft until the day comes....
another back up
when most teams look for staters in the first two rounds we look for back ups they most not like eli bacause hes gonna get killed when the o line get hurt again
Again?

eli is so injury prone
misses way too many games
I think they would've taken OL
if Wis was there. It’s just that every OL behind him didn’t rate so high on their board. Don’t forget we also have Petrus from last year and he played OK when given the chance.

yea Solder (unfortunately) and Wiz were their boys I think
they’re off the board, so go with the highest rated.

I'm really a fan of what we've done so far
This Defense is gonna do nothing but continue to get better… remember it wasn’t that long ago that the D was very very suspect. Yeah, I know alot of that was due to our coordinator but showing a commitment to making it the strength of the team (the way the Giants should be) makes me a happy camper.
Prove me wrong TC.
agree
our CBs are very good, but have shown lapses. Prince was a no brainer IMO at our #19 spot, wouldn’t have minded even trading up for him.
People forget Austin was a potential #1 overall pick before the whole UNC thing, this guy is a REALLY dominant DT and will be a huge part of our DLine for years to come.
I’m ecstatic about our draft picks so far
I see Blue, he looks glorious!

GOOD VALUE,COULD BE A BEAST
nice pick,value over need{ot,olb] if they can keep him motivated,he could be special
Good value picks
G/C, LB, RB later. Lnival Joseph?
BPA again
I think Jerry wants to look back and say this was a monster draft for the Giants. I like the “swinging for the fences” attitude. This defense could be dominant.
If I’m a free agent LB, I want to sign with the G-Men, ya know? Who is potentially available?
Go Giants!
TULLOCH
arguably the best 4-3 MLB in the draft.
And the Titans took Ayers sooo…. maybe?
I see Blue, he looks glorious!
any time you can get a top 5 pick at #52 you do it
character concerns be damned
couldnt agree more
2 potential top 5 picks at #19 and #52?
Sign me up please
I see Blue, he looks glorious!
Im giddy from the 1st 2 rounds
Now perhaps Jerry starts to think about BPA with need in mind
Why is Tom Quinn still here?
Dont really like it
and marvin austin is not a top 5 pick, absolutely not. Thats laugable..
I think having character concerns at DT is HUGE. Motor, inconsistency, effort? Sorry, I don’t like it. Paea was much more safer
Ok now you're just trolling
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ

Martez Wilson, Quan Sturdivant, and Mason Foster are still on the board!
Great value pix!
These picks are great! i’m sure ol and lb will be addressed.
I agree
doesnt bring it, inconsistent, immature, dont like it dont like it. and there are concerns he just played hard for an nfl paycheck..
he's
gonna have to play hard to make a lot of money though. Second rders usually make between 500,00-1,000,000
Revis island? Prince's Kingdom!
Let’s see we have two #1s playing corner & one #2 playing corner. We also have a #1 playing free safety
Now we have three #1s playing corner.
Can’t we find DBs in the 3rd,4th,5th,th rounds??
I mean we have been drafting DBs in the 1st round SO MANY TIMES NOW, it’s ridiculous.
DBs
is one of the positions where the talent drops off a lot after the 2nd/3rd round.
I can find the Raven’s GM saying that somewhere.
Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.
-John Madden
Jeez you can't win them all
We tried to take a tackle prospect, trust me, but the Colts jumped us. We took BPA because we didn’t like the OLine prospects where we were, ok. This is the draft. This is what you do in a draft. Did you want Hudson, a GUARD prospect, in the 2nd round? I could see Wilson, but he’s not a great fit for us. Other than 1 inch of height, Austin fits us perfectly as a 3-tech.
Eli should call up Peyton
And tell him to stop stealing all our tackle prospects.
We weren't going to take a tackle anyway
Beatty will get a chance. Diehl can still play T. So can Andrews.

The Giants clearly did their homework and they feel the risk is worth the reward. Marvin Austin has 1st round talent and if he wasn’t suspended this year I think he would have gone in round 1 … Warren Sapp had character issues including failing his drug test at the combine …. I’m not saying Austin will be that good but he’s got ability and the Giants have veterans on that Dline that can help mentor a kid like Austin. I think he’ll also be motivated himself.

Enough with the name-calling. Everyone has a right to express their opinion. If you don’t want to be disagreed with, keep yours to yourself. If you disagree with someone else’s opinion, express it like an adult — with some class. Otherwise, keep that to yourself, too.
On top of which, always remembers Jerry Reese knows a lot more about this than we do. We don’t have to understand what he’s doing.

Love the pick. Austin fell this far cuz he’s a nip, not cuz of his talent. If Bro’s gone, so be it. But Austin has the potential to be so much better then him (as does Anvil).
So we got 2 BPAs. One high first round talent and another mid-first round talent.

Can you say VALUUUUUE!
top 10-13 at 19 and first round talent i the second half of the second round,CRAZY VALUUUUUUUE!
While everyone is celebarting over a boom or bust pick, we still dont have a LB or OL drafted, right?
I’d cool it, people here are making austin a bigger deal than he is imo. too much for a risk, damn. im really disappointed, but prince will bring me in a good mood =)
Seems like a better idea then spending a token pick on a LB or OL just to "address" a perceived need
who says any OL wouldn’t be a boom or bust? LB?
All I know is Austin is a better player then those available.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Martez Wilson and Rodney Hudson were still available dude
austin is the better player but has the higher bust rate
Hudson has a much higher bust rate considering he's tiny
I like Wilson and wouldn’t have been upset with the pick at all. Just not upset with Austin either.
Austin is MUCH safer then Wilson and Hudson, however. MUCH safer.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
And what does that tell you?
It tells you that the Giants did not have either of them graded as highly as they had Austin graded, and that they think they can get players at those positions later. Marvin Austin is a first round talent, Wilson and Hudson are not. Austin might bust, but he might be a 10-time All-Pro. We just have to want and see how it works out.

actually I'd say he was the safest pick avaiable there
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
as im typing this from tallahassee currently enrolled at FSU and part of the FSU SBnation blog as a writer
I’m telling you, Hudson is WAY too small to fit in our scheme
I'm surprised that wasn't as obvious as it is
not the writing for FSU’s blog, I had no idea..the idea that Hudson is tiny.

Rodney Hudson needs to be in a ZBS.
The Giants are a predominately down-hill power running team. Hudson + Giants would never work anyway.

yeah. im not trying to brag or anything
I’m just pointing out that i’ve seen every game he’s played in and im completely biased pro-fsu and even I acknowledge that Hudson wont fit here.
He’s a great player with fantastic technique and FSU coaches and fans love him but his combine weight is no where near his game weight.
Agreed
I keep saying this. You don’t go into the 2nd round and say “we have to have a center” so you take a center despite the fact there are other players on the board you think are better. It’s not like the Giants will play w/10 guys if they don’t get one.

plus, it's not like madden
you dont draft the top rated C because he’s there, players need to fit into your scheme
they develop their youngins at all positions too
did it with Koets and they’re doing it with Petrus as well.
And I don’t think Beatty is any worse then the available tackles for the Giants from where they picked in round one and beyond.

this isn't a great tackle year from top to bottom

The whole UNC fiasco makes me nervous, agreed.
But he just needs to be motivated… and getting picked in the 2nd round could the best thing for him. This guy seems to have a chip the size of a fissure in his shoulder.

20 year old kids are dumb
think of what you did at 20 and its easier to justify the lack of common sense
everyone does something stupid in their lives
especially in college…isnt that kinda what college is for anyways…
Die hard Giants fan since wide Right! I was 5...
Let's not get so crazy
that we can’t be objective. And for everyone who is trashing commenters only for disliking the pick…well that’s why people are here — to voice their opinions. Ideally they do it in a civilized manner. Yes Reese knows more than we do, but if we’re just going to assume every move he makes is the right one, just cause he does this professionally, we’re deluding ourselves.
Personally, I trust Reese, and I hope he’s right. But Austin’s game tape is pretty pathetic.
Ok, "pathetic" was too stong, but...
he looks like a great athlete who can’t seem to find the ball much. Although he is double-teamed a fair amount. I REALLY hope he produces!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhIC4VU2N50

On the other hand, it looks like he had some pretty nice contributions against BC:

Yeah that whole UNC defense underperformed pretty hard.

I agree, people are acting like hes a "10 year all-pro" as it IS
That’s wrong, he has the POTENTIAL to be a 10-year all pro, he doesnt play like that on the field. He shows flashes of it but is inconsistent overall and gets blown off the ball quite often. He’s been a career underachiever who has a history of not bringing it every down on the field.
His suspension isn’t the ONLY thing bad about him
Anyone else noticing
that LBs keep coming off the board, but not the guys we want, guys “ranked” below them? Not saying anything, just noticing….
yea, little weird
I keep seeing LBzez that I wouldn’t want in the 6th round coming off the board.
Oh well…more for us.

he's really fallen
i remember when a lot of scouts had him in the early second and the top ilb
I was saying last year how we needed a real 3 tech
The way we had to blitz to get to the QB makes me think that the Giants think the same way.

looks like im going to spend the next few hours arguing about austin
hes not a top 10 talent who got suspended and fell.
no, hes was a potential top 20 talent who has underachieved, played with a poor motor, and is very inconsistent who has proven to be immature off the field combined with bad interivews caused him to get eliminated off boards and fell in the draft.
well even if he's just a top 32 talent
getting him at #52 is pretty good.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
that i can agree with
i just dont like how everyone is already saying hes a steal and going to be a beast. great value but is a total and complete question mark in my view
everyone's a questionmark
its a great value and a good fit. Really hard not to like
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
18-22 year olds generally are inconsistent and immature
we can afford a poor character risk here and there. It’s when you ignore character completely that it becomes a problem.
can you also ignore motor, effort, and inconsistency?
COMBINED with immaturity? I just can’t, i just can’t
correctable problems are worth taking
for his upside. If it doesn’t work out it doesn’t work out, but he could be an all-pro DT. Taking smart risks like this makes sense. If it pays off it pays off bigtime.
okay so with picks 1 and 2 in the books, whether you like them or not,
who you guys got round 3?
We could use OL, but still some great LBs. I like Greg Jones here. Also wouldnt be too upset with Herzlich
I see Blue, he looks glorious!
youre right, he probably could,
but I love this kid. I think he’s going to play like a top-round talent, and would hate to miss him
I see Blue, he looks glorious!
I don't like it
More tomorrow but I don’t like it.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.

Another WR...
Do we only draft positions where we’re already stacked?
That tells you
Maybe they don’t think they are stacked … and maybe they are worried about Steve Smith.

That’s what I said up top… maybe worried about Smith.

He's not 5'9"

If they didn’t draft him to return kicks, than idk wtf they’re doing.

I get that, but personally, I’d rather not use a 3rd rounder on a return man.

Thanks Jerry. Just keep on pretending O-line and LB don't matter
and the team will keep failing on the field.

by tito (eight and oh) on Apr 29, 2011 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions
yeah,
I was just looking at the similarities, both 5ft 8 receivers, both won’t (and in Sinorice’s case, didn’t) see the field, and both were a waste of a pick
I know
but its just kinda hard to see where the guy fits in. Nicks, Smith (maybe), Manningham, Barden, Cruz. Sure he can be a return specialist, but after the rule changes those aren’t really needed as much, just seems like a wasted pick. Not to mention the guy is 5 ft 8 without the speed that Moss had. What makes you think Coughlin gonna put this guy on the field when he wouldn’t put Moss on?
who the hell is Jerrel jernigan!?
And this was going soooo well. And with Foster and Cannon on the board!!!

WE SHOULD HAVE DRAFTED FOSTER
Extremely pissed. What freaking linebackers in the draft are left? None! Besides herzlich! LOL
they are giving Sintim and Dillard a chance

Sintim's gotten extensive playing time, and has done nothing
We better go after impact LBs in FA

No he hasn't.
He had a few snaps in 2009…and that was it

Guess it's another year of our D-line having to play out of it's mind
just to hide horrible LB core

ill take herzlich
but rlly foster would of been very nice maybe they will trade up to get one of them……. i like the explosive player though to addd to the offense but idk
Not a fan of this pick at all
Kickoffs moved back so returns might be few and none so He is small and 5ft 9 wtf
Why is Tom Quinn still here?
yup
not terrible but foster i like more but at least its another option for eli and gives us a different look….. will he ever be given time behind our wrs, smith nicks, mannignham, barden and others???
FA
Is where we get an impact LB. JR has already said we will pounce when FA starts, and I guarantee we target a good LB now.
Die hard Giants fan since wide Right! I was 5...
then idc
then im fine with not taking a lb we dont need 3 we got boley who is servicebale and goff too behind our d-line we just need 1 more..
It would be nice if we didn't just settle for mediocrity at LB for once
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ

Jerry must REALLY believe in Sintim.....
and Dillard, and Adrian Tracy. Special teams were so bad that perhaps this is an answer that area.
Jernigan
Jernigan is flat-out a playmaker who has the ability to make an immediate impact as a return man at the next level. He has excellent speed to stretch the field and the hip fluidity to maintain momentum in transition and separate out of his breaks. He lacks the size to be a No. 1 receiver in the NFL, but he is a slippery runner in the open field after the catch and projects to be a weapon in the slot. He has a chance to be a second-rounder.
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
Manningham?
sounds like him to me, albeit smaller

Wow
Lot of complainers on the board about the giants draft.
Theres a reason we’re not GM’s people. I mean, I don’t individually scout players out so I would never sit there and bash a pick considering I’m sure the management have done their due diligence on each player. Have some faith. There are always quality picks in the 3rd, 4th, 5th rounds. In Reese we trust.
You should've seen her face. It was the exact same look my father gave me when I told him I wanted to be a ventriloquist.
But Seriously....
People are bringing up the 2009 Draft and say that Nicks is the only productive player…. even if i agreed with that statement, which i don’t… What LB would you have the NYG take that was effective with any of our non first round picks….we took Sintim in the 2nd, and i am more than curious who you are mad that we passed up….
I don't see who they passed up, anywhere
Maybe Martez Wilson in the 2nd. Maybe Mason Foster in the 3rd.
More so Foster in the 3rd. But while I like them, not so hung up on in that it needs to be portrayed on who we did pick and what they bring to the team.

I didnt even get to this year...
I wanted to find the logic in the spread of vitriol towards the front office…they do a damn good job year in year out of finding good players for the team… depth is good at most positions… you can’t predict injuries, and even so, the replacements did more than their share… if anything we rushed a few O Linemen back a little too early….

2009 draft was not very good
I’m not seeing many good players that got drafted in the later rounds. Especially not LB’s.
by mclaren_is_the_best on Apr 29, 2011 10:31 PM EDT up reply actions
2009 was brutal
Several of the first 100 picks are already out of football. At least Jerry connected with Hakeen Nicks.
Well If SS12
Is not gonna be ready this kid plays the slot and he seems to be a take it to the house kind of guy if you miss the tackle so thats nice if SS12 does come back he still is a great return guy. The Mcluster comparison is encouraging so I will trust Jerry knows a hell of alot more then me so I will concede to the experts on this pick. In short I like This pick book it.
Why is Tom Quinn still here?
thank the football gods we have prince
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing every changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
LOL
according to BSPN, it was more significant that the Bears took Paeua than Giants and Austin
