Top draft prospects for 2007
I’m back. Nothing wrong but I needed a vacation…
Anyway here’s an interesting article on the top 20 prospects. From #15 through #20a I see some good prospects that could help the Giants and at least one of them will be there when we pick.
CBS Sportsline has us taking a safety. If Reggie Nelson from Florida can put Demps or Wilson on the Bench I have no problem with the pick. Even if Demps and Wilson win starting jobs, I’d like to be able to bench them when they screw up.
Of course with Whitfield retiring and Petigout gone, the Giants look pretty thin at left tackle. Will Diehl move over there with Guy Whimper as backup? That doesn’t sound like a recipe for success to me. Maybe we need to draft a tackle?
The Giants are likely around 15 million under the cap now. Briggs and Samuel are franchise players. Will the Giants find decent value in free agency? Most teams have some cap space to play with… I wonder how large an effect free agency will have on the Giants’ draft.

I’m not feeling good about the LT position, myself. I just hope they don’t overspend for an overrated bust like Leonard Davis.
I’d also love to see them pick a decent CB to push Corey Webster, who’s looking more and more like a bust these days.
Another WR would be nice to eventually replace Amani, who’s a year older and coming off major surgery, and replace Tim Carter now, who just sucks. That guy can’t catch a cold. They need to drop that dead weight and this is a deep draft at WR.
I keep reading about the Jints wanting to take another RB for insurance should Jacobs go down. Guess they don’t have alot of faith in him lasting the year.
