The Official NFL Draft Day 2 thread

[patchick]

just as an aside, jared crick is still available..... will he fall to us? do we trade the 5th round pick to move up? then trade the 90th pick??

I figure they traded #62 for a 3rd + 5th in order to have the ammo they need to package those two picks and move up to #70.

:bricks:

Unreal. I remember feeling jealous when the Giants landed Mario Manningham in their draft four years ago, and now they've done it again with Rueben Randle.

Just be glad those jerks didn't get GRONK!
:rocker: :rocker: :rocker:

They went down 28 spots to #90 to pick up a fifth. Good night.

Amazing how BB just threw away the draft value accumulated the past few years

 

[The_Chuck_Rule]

So the giants get a great value on the next WR to catch a TD against us in the next Super Bowl.... Right over tavon Wilson.....

Somebody ban this fool for this statement, please.

Ken - for what it's worth, looks like the Falcons knew all about him - BB resurrects the big nickle!!



Mike Nolan's love affair with the "Big Nickel" formation, where a third safety is thrown into the mix. With this in mind, we'll take a look at another draft prospect who is on the Falcons visit list, Tavon Wilson.

Wilson spent four years at the University of Illinois, splitting his tenure between playing cornerback and safety. At 6'0", 205 lbs. he appears to have some decent power to him, something Nolan would be immediately drawn to.

He was known as a valuable leader for the Fighting Illini, and his college bio page says he was Illinois' honoree for the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award in 2010. These are two qualities we've come to expect out of prospects The Comrade brings in.

In 2011 Wilson was one of the better defenders on a defense that only allowed 19.6 points per game, ranking No. 15 in the nation.

Nothing in that piece suggests a need for the Patriots to take him when they did.

This makes no sense on value chart...gave up pick #62 ( 284 points) for pick #90 and #163 (140 and 26.2 points) WTF????

Maybe we owed Green Bay for Nick McDonald, informerly.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

I feel sorry for the kid. What a welcome he is getting.

That's my point. Tavon is already dead to many Pats fans.

There goes Tru

 

[Armchair Quarterback]

Think we could have used Randle and/or Curry?

Last time BB and Co. took their ball and went home (2007 draft) the Giants cleaned up.

They've also beat us twice in the Super Bowl because we have players who can't catch, can't cover and can't rush the passer.

So by all means treat another ******* draft as a joke. We're all set apparently.

wow first a pothead now a rapist...... Thats crazy. jeff fisher does not give a sht about character concerns.......

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

haha...Indy, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

 

[ATippett56]

Casey Hayward, CB from Vanderbilt is much better value at #48 than Tavon Wilson, SS from Illinois!

 

[condon84]

At the end of the day, it's meh. BB's not perfect. I remember when we drafted Tyrone McKenzie in the 3rd round. I remember watching South Florida a lot that year and saw him play and when we picked him in the 3rd I knew right away he wouldn't work out. There's a slew of BB picks that are "doh" but at the same time there are a lot of picks that work out. As long as we have Tom Brady...

Piece of **** Indy looking to duplicate success

He welcomes it, they're more likely to maim the other players without question.

You should probably take a break and stop making a fool of yourself.

 

[ATippett56]

The New England Patriots did not even select the better safety at Illinois.

Sweet mother of god, Jeff Fisher loves delinquents..

EDIT: ER' delinquents

 

[Ununcle]

It's amazing how fan sentiment can change in the form of one day.

Lulz! I was just thinking that. I know I've gone from one extreem to the other.

Somebody ban this fool for this statement, please.

Do me a favor and bite me! sorry you can't handle the truth

Tell me that you don't feel the same level of frustration to see what could be a very good WR that many posters here were hoping for the pats to take, get taken by the fawking giants... After we take a nobody, and then trade out of the spot ahead of sad pick for half of its value... So please go back to whatever hole you came out of...
