Giants Take S Darian Thompson in the Third



Boise State is one of the college programs I follow, and for years I've been wondering when the Giants would grab a Bronco in the draft.  They just did by taking Free Safety Darian Thompson in the third round.   Darian is a big interception guy, who can also tackle and hit.  Darian ran a bad 40 at the combine, but he plays faster than that, and also is one of those guys who just knows how to play.  Sort of like Will Hill was but without the apparent off field interests.   He'll probably end up a starter eventually, but will certainly up the competition in the Giants young Safety group right off the bat.  They're having a terrific draft.

I don't know anything about them but I don't like the position. They need LB and OL.

This is like the 2007 draft, where they had a bunch of needs and then took them off the board in weird order, and then all of them helped. Also we have new position coaches at OL and LB and they may have some favorites they know they can use tomorrow or in UDFA, like McNally used to.

I hope so, but I think skepticism is reasonable.

I think letting it play out and then seeing what happens works, too.

At least they don't employ Girardi (either of them really).

Darian Thompson played CF on his high school baseball team. Said at Combine tracking balls in OF helped him make INTs in football. -- @TomRock_Newsday
