Its not
often you see a team picking last have a
really good draft, but the Giants did
very well, they locked in on FS Kenny
Phillips early on and didn't stray,
despite reports of unimpressive workouts
and an OK junior season. Good fit for a
team shy of speed and depth in the deep
middle. they then stuck with filling
defensive holes in the second round with
Terrell Thomas, a physical, bump-and-run
CB who helps at a position riddled with
age. WR Mario Manningham's workouts and
conduct knocked him down but Giants need
refreshing at this position and he was
worth a shot. then they get the QB who
led most draft boards before the season
in Andre Woodson in the 6th round.
Overall a very impressive draft

Safety is a
need,
and Philips has
everything you want in a safety. By far the best
safety in the draft and quite possibly one of the
best defensive players in the draft as a Junior
available.
