Sunday’s Giants News: Draft Talk
The print media wrote about the NFL Draft today so you know it’s right around the corner. It’s next weekend in case you forgot. I’ve been pumped about it for a while now. Just like the media wants to know if Reese will continue to make great choices, I want to know the same thing. I’m sure all of us Giants fans want to know the same thing. I’m not to concerned about that though because I trust the Giants organization to do the right thing.
Newsday:
After high-impact drafts, Giants can cruise - Tom Rock believes that the Giants don’t have many glaring needs to fill in the NFL Draft next week so the Giants don’t have much pressure on them to have to get it right. Also, Rock reminded us that Jerry Reese is only the GM this year meaning that he’s no longer the director of player personnel. Last year, he wore both hats because he was the director of player personnel for the previous five years. This year, Marc Ross is the director of college scouting so it is imperative that the Reese and Ross tandem get off to a great start.
New York Daily News:
Giants eye more Jerry Reese picking - Ralph Vacciano reminds us of how well of a Draft Jerry Reese had last year, and he’s anxious to see if he has similar success this year.
Jeremy Shockey trade waves - Gary Myers thinks it would be crazy for the Giants to trade Jeremy Shockey. The problem is that if he’s not happy, he’s not going to produce. He’s going to whine. In one of the articles I wrote about yesterday, he threatened to sit on the bench if his role was not changed. So if you are the Giants, do you keep him if he is going to sit on the bench? Do you keep him if he plays but his desire is to sit on the bench? Or do you trade him for market value and bring in somebody else that wants to be on the team?
Giants’ Eli Manning married in Mexico - Jo Piazza covered Abby and Eli Manning’s wedding down in San Jose de Cabo, Mexico. They have a photo of the couple, and if you click on it then there is an entire photo gallery.
New York Post:
GIANTS ON THE CLOCK - Paul Schwartz also wrote that Jerry Reese wants to repeat last year’s Draft success.
