Giants Draft Thread

[mike]

With Braylon Edwards on the market and 10 draft picks to play with, Giants general manager Jerry Reese has admitted that a lot could happen.

"You never know what could happen," Reese said last week at his annual pre-draft press conference. "(It's) going to get hot and heavy and we could package some picks and do something with them. So you never know."

Even if New York isn't able to land a receiver like Edwards to replace Plaxico Burress, they could use their additional picks to trade up and take a top-flight pass-catcher.

"There are always a lot (of options)," Reese said. "Everybody is jockeying, saying, 'Do you want to move up? Do you want to move down?'"

With the Browns asking for a first-round pick in exchange for Braylon Edwards, the Giants could turn their eyes towards North Carolina's Hakeem Nicks as Plaxico Burress' replacement.

The Giants have had Nicks in their sights for several months because of his toughness and ability, according to several team sources.

He had gained weight, which he blamed on an injured hamstring, but is reportedly back down to 212 pounds

Mike Garafolo, of The Star-Ledger, reports before the New York Giants selected WR Hakeem Nicks with the No. 29 overall pick in the NFL Draft, they had worked out the parameters of a trade with the Detroit Lions to move up to the No. 20 overall pick, according to someone briefed on the negotiations between the two teams. The person, who requested anonymity because the Giants don't discuss war-room talks publicly, didn't divulge what was being offered to the Lions but said the trade was contingent on Missouri WR Jeremy Maclin being available for the Giants to select at that spot. However, the plan was nixed when the Philadelphia Eagles jumped up to the No. 19 overall pick to select Maclin.

Giants had one of the better drafts imo

I thought so as well especially where they picked. If Nicks can pan out like they think he can he could end up being a great player in this league.

Todd McShay had the Giants as the best draft on ESPN the other day, which I applauded
