Tank, yeah, I’d say so;
Pacman, maybe, but I think so;
Proctor, yes, if they find a replacement. Probably won’t cut him till camp, though, until they know
they have his replacement on the roster.
McQ, probably. but see Proctor.
Carpenter? Why? He’s under contract. Zack is gone. Burnett may be too. You just gonna clean
out the ILB position bring in Bradie and a bunch of question marks?

You can’t fill every hole. They entered the draft knowing they had incredible age at CB, with Henry and Newman being 30 or over. They did not have Pacman and needed to put young CBs in the pipeline.

They had one RB on their roster and he was looking for a new contract.

They hit big with Jenkins and Scandrick and Jones and Choice. They went straight off their board. They took Bennett over Godfrey but you must understand. Bennett was rated in the top 30. Godfrey was not. I’m sure Bennett was the highest rated player on their board when they picked at 61.

And he looks like he could be a player.

Yeah it sucks that they could not fill every hole but they filled their two most critical needs and got a great value pick in their estimation. They appear to be right, though it’s early.

They need to do this again. OL is a priority and I’m sure S is the other one.

Henry cannot stay healthy at corner where he has to make far less plays against the run.

I give henry 3 – 4 games at safety and he will be out due to the pounding.

This may sound crazy but until I see Williams playing with the same the defense I saw the last 7 games this year I will not write him off.

With all the problems the defense had maybe Williams wasn’t the problem everytime a receiver got deep.

I’m tired of everyone saying a safety is a high need and requires a high pick. With the work the scouting dept did last year I am sure they can find a safety in this year’s draft.

He barely covers anything.

from the Skins picked in the draft?

The draft dept does their homework and they will get us a safety.

As for RW2. Look at our drafts with WR’s. Sherrard/Harper/Williams/Smith ( might have been thebest and he was not a first or second round pick). W epick Wr’s as well as we pick DE’s.

RW2 is better than anyone we woul dhave drafted this year.

Other teams pick up safties and WR’s in the 3rd round and they are keepers.

Thomas Everett put some teeth in that 1992-93 secondary.

Teague was competent and made the occasional big play, which sounds pretty juicy about now.

First post on BTB.

We used our first round pick on Kenny Phillips – who we all hope will turn out to be a prototypical UMiami safety like Reed and Taylor. He showed a lot of promise this year; good coverage skills; sure tackler in space – but he seemed to hit a bit of a rookie wall later in the year. He also wasn’t as big a ballhawk as I hoped he’d be. But we Giant fans still have very high hopes for him.

Unfortunately, our other safeties – Butler and Johnson – are average at best. I’m hoping that Reese uses one of our three Day 1 day picks to shore up that position with another stud to play alongside Phillips. I was hoping to nab Kam Chancellor with one of our two second rounders but he just announced that he would be returning to VA Tech for his senior season.

But I totally agree with Raf here. Safety is rapidly becoming the new “must have” position for any team that wants to have long term success – right up there after QB, LT and DE.

who is a master of the cheap shot. I saw at least two plays today against Minny where he dove into the pile, helmet first, after the play was over. The first one of those dazed Peterson and sent him to the sidelines for a few plays.

Yes, he’s a talented safety but he’s also a dirty, dirty player.

As for SS I like Kevin Ellison of USC & Michael Hamlin OF Clemson (even though he said he will stay at Clemson for his senior year). Nic Harris of Oklahoma is also in the mix but I have heard some folks say he may be a better LB – might want to stay away from a Safety from OU! I have seen Chung play but like Ellison the best.

Williams weakness is coverage. You want to move him out in space where he has MORE coverage responsibility?

Wow, I’m nearly speechless.

QBs never challenged Roy when they could exploit Bullets.

2006 Michael Huff, Donte Whitner and Jason Allen were off the board before the Boys drafted Crapenter
2007 LaRon Landry, Michael Griffin and Brandon Meriweather were gone before Spencer was hired.
2008 Kenny Phillips was there but who do you throw back Jenkins or Jones?

As a GM, I would have drafted Mendenhall and still made the trade for Jenkins, which would still leave my looking for a safety today.

Witten is taking lots of physical abuse – he could be worn out in four years. Bennett and a veteran FA could man the TE spot and we wouldn’t necessarily see a big drop off in production.

If not Witten, Newman.

The risk, of course, is if your draft pick is a bust. #31 was a top ten pick.

He may have a short career as an elite TE because, he blocks, catches over the middle, runs through double teams without a helmet. But what other TE does that? That’s a huge price to pay for an elite prospect.

Keep that list so we’ll have something to talk about after the Senior Bowl and Combine. Those guys will be in the discussion, but don’t forget:

Patrick Chung
Enamuel Cook
Rashard Johnson
Michael Hamlin
Sean Smith
Nic Harris (The second coming of Roy Williams)

Maybe we should break these guys out by SS and FS

The worst was when Parcells thought that the rookie Watkins was a viable solution to be the starting FS. Late in the season, he wasn’t even dressing.
