NFL-Giants: NY Giants football news

Nolan Nawrocki: Draft expert or draft idiot?

In hindsight, what do we think of this article?

New York Giants
The Giants addressed their biggest needs early, and CB Aaron Ross and USC WR Steve Smith should be able to contribute right away. Jay Alford was a reach in the third round. Zak DeOssie is a classic Tom Coughlin pick and improves the special teams. TE Kevin Boss could help replace Visanthe Shiancoe, but their final three picks — OT Adam Koets, S Michael Johnson and RB Ahmad Bradshaw — while all talented, will take a lot of intense coaching to maximize their potential, and they may never get it. With Coughlin’s coaching staff, they might have a chance. Altogether, this draft would be lucky to produce more than a pair of starters, and there is little exciting about it.
Grade: Average

Personally, I suspect this guy wrote the article without ever seeing the final 3 picks he disparages play even college ball. Johson and Bradshaw helped us win the Super Bowl. So did Ross, Smith, Alford, and DeOssie (snapping).
