Are you kidding me?

I think this is going to get us back to the glory days of the White House and Super Bowls!

Desean jackson is just too small to be anything more than a #3 reciever and a great return guy.

They said the same thing about westbrook as a running back.

I was waiting for the Steve Smith comment. Not even close to the same guy. Steve smith has a wide shoulders and strength. Desean is built like Roscoe parrish. Those guys are great when they get the ball in open space like a punt return or end around, but most of the time they are too small to get off jams.

Giants signed 2 of the top 20 undrafted players.

Totally different. You might as well say "they said doug fluite was too small to play QB"

Tell that to Willie Parker and Wes Welker! One the NFL's leading rusher, and the other the best slot reciever in the NFL ( Both undrafted )

Just saying, the Giants draft extremley well. I woulden't write of anybody they draft. There fifth running back on the depth chart ripped it up last year.

I heard a discussion about this the other day. Something like 10 percent of undrafted FAs make NFL rosters and somewhere between 10 and 20 percent make the team in some capacity (e.g., practice squad). No question the odds are long.

The G-men took no Olineman or DT's in the draft so they brought a bunch in.
they are concerned about safety so they signed the guy from Michigan State who was considered the best undrafted safety.
they signed the WR from Alabama,again a guy considered the best WR not drafted.
they also signed the supposed best DE not drafted.he was also from Alabama.

...in case anyone hasn't noticed the Gman have a thing for DE's
