However you need to justify it is okay with me. I just wanted to make sure you knew the facts.:)

They all run like SS and LB this year. This was one of the weakest years in the 40 I've seen.

That said, it's up to the Giants, now.

The common wisdom was that the Giants' biggest need is at WR, in the wake of Plaxico Burress, but whatev. The upside of Michael Johnson was too great in the first round. Complaints that this was nowhere near a need for the Jints is legit. But the Giants pride themselves and their recent Super Bowl on their monstrous defensive line, which at this point features two Pro Bowlers, and two other guys that could start on any other defensive line.

Injuries hurt them last year but they kept on truckin', and it's a prime concern to keep that defensive line tenacious. You do that through depth (Johnson will not be expected to contribute immediately -- he's a long-term prospect), and through leverage. If Johnson develops as he should, he prevents the Giants from having to drop huge money on the next DE up for a contract who had his numbers pumped up from playing on this line.

Smith was more of a no-brainer for a defense that needs help at SS more importantly, and CB secondarily.

So while WR was a prime concern, supposedly, for this New York team, I elected other paths instead of worrying about a WR corps that, even without Burress, many teams would love to have.

But that ends now. The Giants would love a big body with some speed, and Florida's Louis Murphy brings both. Not great numbers in Florida's offense, but with a low 4.4 40, and a solid frame, and a damn good Combine, the Giants think there's something there. Maybe not a Plaxico Burress, but definitely more talent for their WR corps.

With the 60th pick in the NFL Draft, the New York Giants select WR Louis Murphy, from the University of Florida.

Carson Palmer hates you. :harumph:

I think Murphy can be productive. Burress? No, he's not as big nor as physical. He's more of a speed/finesse guy but with more size.

That sucks dude. Well at least you found your dog.

With the loss of Kris Jenkins last year and a possible Julius Peppers trade looming, the Panthers look to improve their D-line and select Fila Moala, DT/DE, USC

Well he's not going to be a 303 lb DE in their 4-3.

Yeah. By the 3 hour mark, I really expected to find her dead. Worried she got her leash wrapped up in brush or a tree and choked herself, broken neck, etc.

The very few times she's gotten away, she's always come right back - or at least barked or howled when you called or whistled for her.

Thumb update: No fracture. Seeing a specialist tomorrow. My doc is worried I may have torn a ligament. Hopefully it's nothing more than a sprain.

Either way, it appears I'm ****ed for at least 4-6 weeks, barring a miracle.

That will likely slide your value to the midrounds, OTW.

Shit, I was an UDFA at best BEFORE this.

LMAO

Probably not, but there are no guarantees, Fox remains with the team beyond this year. Which means they could switch to a 3-4 in the future and he could easily be a DE in a 3-4. Hence the DT/DE comment.

This must have popped into my head about 20 times last night:

LMAO

The Titans select Juaquin Iglesias, WR, Oklahoma. Just a solid all around football player. Could become Hines Ward.

Warpath, you're doing a great job with the draft. Thanks again, man.
