I don't think you can separate the draft from the rest of the offseason process, they are very much interlinked imho What a difference a week makes. I thought the Eagles game will be a pivotal point in the season. Lets face it, we were soundly ...

The Giants had a promising start to the season. With the disappointing losses in the last two weeks, it is understandable for many people to ask: Is this a bump in the road or are the Giants just not as good as expected?

I am also assuming the Giants will be a play-off team this year Note: Once Ross is back healthy, I expect Ross or Thomas (more likely) Ross to move to FS. Ross is physical and instinctive.

The one glaring position to me seems to be safety, our coverage deep is poor

two guys I wouldn't mind making a play for are Michael Huff (Raiders) and Jarrad Page (Chiefs); but there are likely others as well


I know it would cost a draft pick, but we are pretty set at most positions


any thoughts?]]> Big Blue/NFL Talk Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:22:38 GMT http://touchdownblue.forumotion.com/big-blue-nfl-talk-f2/trade-deadline-option-t581.htm#1784 http://touchdownblue.forumotion.com/big-blue-nfl-talk-f2/trade-deadline-option-t581.htm http://touchdownblue.forumotion.com/big-blue-nfl-talk-f2/steve-smith-t579.htm Big_Pete http://www.draftcountdown.com/forum/showthread.php?t=908&page=378
