3 possible scenarios re. Braylon Edwards trade
1. Giants give their 1st rounder + a later pick for Edwards.
2. Browns accept a 2nd and a 5th for Edwards.
3. Nothing happens.
I’ve maintained all along that there’s no reason for either side to cave on this one until they’re under the gun and on the clock. That’s when we’ll know if Cleveland will realize they’re not going to get a better offer than the Giants’ second- and fifth-round picks. Or we’ll know if the Giants realize they’re not going to find an immediate upgrade in the draft and should give the Browns their first-round pick and another mid- to high-round pick for Edwards.

The Giants are trading for Boldin. No wait, the Giants are trading for Edwards. Wait, no they’re not. I mean yes they are.
This is rediculous.
The giants will likely draft Offensive line and linebacker early in the draft.
They will trade for Edwards during the draft. They will trade a 2 and a 4 or something along those lines.
Statistically, the first 4 years of Edwards’ career is almost identical to the first 4 years of Plaxico’s career (except of course, the drops).
Expect the next 4 years of Edwards’ career with the Giants to go similarly to Plaxico’s. He will be a pro-bowler, a superbowl winner, and he will inadvertently shoot himself in the leg in a NYC nightclub in the year 2013.
Boldin has a few intangibles (blocking). But for how ‘tough’ he is, he certainly gets injured a lot.
The Giants are fine even if they don’t address the WR position. They certainly don’t need to draft one. Isn’t this why they’ve spent a #2 on Smith, a # 2 on Moss, and an #3 on Manningham, as well as a waiver on Hixon? How is Kenny Britt the answer, and not Smith, Moss, Manningham, or Hixon. They need depth, that’s all.
Like I said, they will draft Offensive Line, and Linebacker. Defensive Backfield depth as well. They won’t ‘trade up’. They will trade picks for Edwards or trade picks for 2010 picks.
