NY Giants news
Nothing new on the draft front, except that the Giants signed some competition for kicker Matt Bryant. Todd France was cut by the Vikings but has a strong enough leg to kick 50+ yard field goals. His accuracy on extra points seems to be good too. In the same article, you can read about Ryan Van Dyke who's doing pretty well for himself in NFL Europe.
What does it all mean? The Giants probably don't plan on drafting Kaeding in the third, but if the best college kicker fell to the fourth, the Giants might want to think about him with the first pick on day 2. If the Giants don't trade up for Manning, and Gallery is off the board at #4, they might go for Roethlisberger. Or they could go for Sean Taylor or Roy Williams or try to trade down a few spots where they could still get Big Ben, Taylor, or R. Williams. If they don't get a QB in the first, and Losman doesn't fall to the second, don't be surprised if the Giants go for Matt Schaub in the third.
Hopefully Van Dyke beats out the bachelor, so our QB depth chart would have Van Dyke and whoever we draft behind Collins this year. You might think I'm being to hard on Jessie Palmer, but seriously who's working at becoming a better football player? Ryan Van Dyke. Who's playing with women on TV? Jessie Palmer. Which kind of football player do you want on your team?
