The Most Wonderful Time of the Year PT 1

Yup, the NFL draft is coming up this weekend, and the Giants head into it with 10 picks and no glaring needs, unless you count having a #1 WR that roles the safety and makes the O go a glaring need. The Giants will enter the proceedings with ten picks with 5 in the top 100. At least they might, though my latest understand is that if they do deal for Braylon Edwards, it will be during the draft. An Edwards deal would eat up 2 2009 picks and maybe 1 2010 pick. After the Edwards deal, the Giants would have 4 top 100 picks and 4 other picks to address very few roster shortages.

With their 8-10 picks, I'd like to see the Giants get one from the group of Mack, Unger and Wood. Beyond that, I'd like to see them pick up another passrushing DE (what? you say!), a running back, a db, a wide receiver, a linebacker and an OT. So that's 7 players from 8-10 picks. It's a flat draft so I don't care what order they come in, and expect Jerry to always get better than round value out of all of his picks. It should be a great weekend and I'll be excited if we make the Braylon Edwards deal or if we don't. Go Giants!
