Giants Land an RB, DE and OL on Day 3

After shocking the world toward the end of Round 3 by taking probable future starter Davis Webb, the Giants went back to doing what they do on Day 3.

In the 4th, they selected Clemson RB Wayne Gallman.  This is interesting because I was looking for them to take Kamara, or someone else, to carry the big load in relation to Paul Perkins.  That didn't work, so instead they took Gallman, who can supplement Perkins, especially in short yardage and at the goal line. Gallman is effective in the short yardage, but is more quick than fast.  So, though he can burst through a hole, he doesn't have breakaway speed to go the distance.  There may be some instances where he can score a long TD by picking his way through the trash with quickness then scooting into open pasture, but he's not a get it and go guy.  Still, he will give us an effective rotation with Paul Pierce and Shane Vereen.  He can also catch the ball, so he won't tip a play by his presence, like some backs we've had.

In the 5th, the Giants got a ringer. DE Avery Moss started at Nebraska where he produced, until he produced a part of himself he had not been invited to.  He went through counseling and emerged as a passrush and run stopping terror from Hell at Youngstown St.  He'd actually been brought along by his old Nebraska coach.  Anyway, if you watch the youtubes, you'll feel like you are watching an Osi meets Tuck mixtape.  He is already the player we have wanted Odi and others to become. If his problems are truly behind him, he'll become part of the passrush rotation right away.  And he plays the run, too.   Rare breed these days, and sort of bizarre set of circumstances brought him to the Giants.

Finally, the Giants combined their 6th and 7th picks to move up for Pitt T/G Adam Bisnowaty.  When he was healthy, Bisnowaty was a  four year OLT at Pittsburgh for 4 years and all ACC for at least three of them. He had a bunch of helium and there was some expectation this major college sleeper, had risen into the 4th or 5th round.  Instead, the Giants were able to move up and grab him.  He had an average combine, but knows how to play.  Also, it looks like the Giants might be taking the top off of the UDFA OL market with USC's Chad Wheeler (ringer who needs gym time), and Jess Dunkman from TSU. So they were able to add substantial talent to a needed area for the price of a 6th and 7th round pick.

I'll write an overview of what I think they've accomplished once they sign all of the first group od UDFA's.   So far, it looks pretty good.
