I keep seeing things about him being a good blocker, but I remember after he was drafted reading that he's a pretty terrible blocker. It'll be interesting to see what the truth is.

Jerry got caught flat-footed when the two guys he wanted were taken at 8 and 9, so he took the "athlete who never put it all together" in college. This should surprise no one. Also, I have a feeling that it won't really matter because we'll be getting players out of the rest of the draft. The RB and WR in particular look pretty good... but Apple? I think he's Will Allen 2.0.

NFL's best linebacking corps. You might notice all five were in the playoffs, and the top two were in the Super Bowl.

In the "talk is cheap" podcast with Ranaan and Kratch, they brought up that it's really odd that as a Clemson linebacker, he was third-team All-American. Not a good sign.

Yeah hasn't there been a record number of ACLs?

Can we just ditch this front office and sign Cowher already?

I've seen him on the NFL morning show a few times and he always leaves the hosts in stitches. He's a funny dude.

This is what I thought too. Wasn't the 3 safeties thing a Fewell thing and not a Spags one? Also, I'm pretty sure the reason Fewell ran that defense in the first place was because of JR's insistence on signing Pop Warner linebackers.

This.

I have a weird feeling that this may be the unusual Reese draft class where the later-round picks are all pretty decent and it's the first-rounder who sucks.

I think we should sign him and watch him have two really good years for us... then dump him to make room for Mark Jackson.

And a decent write-up with some game film.

Here's a more even-handed piece of game tape. You can still see the kid's got good vision.

BREAKING NEWS: The Giants' front office sucks.

This kid has the ONE thing every back needs to have... vision. It's what keeps Andre Williams from being a successful NFL running back. Perkins is going to be a good one for us.

Don't worry. When I was concerned last year about our lack of safeties and linebackers, Anita Marks reassured me that somebody will release a A+ quality player that the Giants can pick up, and look how that turned out for us.

Yeah, would have done it for a 2nd and a player too if the player was any good. Not just for a 2nd though.

Indeed.

Would have been sweet if we could have gotten a player out of the deal too, but JR was smart if the Jets were lowballing them.

This is starting to remind me of that one season where we didn't address the safety position and had to go into the year with a bunch of unproven young guys...

Cue the "I hope that Jerome Cunningham doesn't come back to bite us in the ass" comments...

Jolly good cup of tea, Perkins.

It's going to be tough to beat out the great Kelvin Sheppard, Redskins Guy and Some Other Guy, that's for sure

I think we have a Justin Tuck Curse. Since then, every 3rd round pick has been a bust.
