Well... the Giants are up, and I'm none too pleased.
It's cliche to say this, but Harvin was my pick until Mecca showed me up. The Giants were waiting for the invention of sweatpants with a built-in gun holster, but apparently the economy has caused a depression in imagination, too, so I see no need to have Burress around. Harvin would have been a fantastic replacement.
The other remaining WRs make me nervous, too. Britt and Nicks? Too risky for a first round investment; I've got loads of picks I can gamble with later.
So I look to the defense. Sean Smith intrigues me, but spending 1sts on safeties two years in a row slows down any ambition I may have on taking a shot with him.
Linebacker is a position of need in this Draft for me, but nothing here thrills me. So I'm going another route.
The Giants are in an enviable position; they are just about 100% built on both lines. But why settle for great when you can be SUPER FANTASTIC.
The Giants are pretty much going to have to gamble on whoever it is they pick here, so why not go with the player with the highest ceiling?
With that in mind, they pick a player who will need a hell of a lot of coaching, who really couldn't land in a better situation than this franchise.
With the 29th pick in the NFL Draft, the New York Giants pick QB Chase Daniel, from the University of ....
Oh wait.
DE Michael Johnson, Georgia Tech.
