The day after the NFL Draft, most teams feel positive about adding some impact players to their lineup. In the case of the New York Giants, winning the Super Bowl makes you have to wait around and select what's left. However, this weekend, that turned into a positive for Big Blue.
General Manager Jerry Reese had a difficult task in trying to repeat last year's magic when seven of the eight players he drafted had an impact on the team's success. This April the needs were fewer, but drafting two defensive backs, two linebackers and a wide out will help Tom Coughlin's chances at repeating.
 After three hours, Miami safety Kenny Phillips fell into Big Blue's lap at the end of the first round. The Giants not only filled a need, but also grabbed the top safety on most teams' draft board.
In a down year for safeties and wide receivers, the Giants may have come away with two future play-makers in those positions. That's because in the third round, Michigan star wide-out Mario Manningham dropped to the Giants as the 95th overall pick.
Both Phillips and Manningham decided to leave after their junior years of college. Phillips was the No. 1 player in the nation coming out of high school, but failed to live up to that hype. So after moving from corner to safety, the only real knock on him was that he wasn't in the same league as former Miami greats Ed Reed and Sean Taylor. Big Blue just hopes Phillips becomes a better safety than James Butler and former Giant Gibril Wilson.
The selection of Manningham could be looked at as a similar move to when the Jets drafted Laveranues Coles in the third round in 2000. Both players had off-the-field issues that forced their stock to drop before the draft. Of course, Coles turned out to be a steal. The Giants now take that gamble on super Mario, praying that the talented Detroit native will make noise on the field.
Last year, RB Ahmad Bradshaw was a risky character pick that dropped to the seventh round, but became an impact rookie with zero problems. Coughlin feels Manningham can accomplish the same. Soft hands and big play ability will make an organization take chances. If Mario keeps his word to stay out of trouble, watch out!
In the second round, the Giants went for USC CB Terrell Thomas who's had shoulder and knee injuries. However, Reese likes his height, speed and versatility. Plus, Thomas, as well as the two linebackers drafted -- Bryan Kehl, fourth round out of BYU and Jonathan Goff, fifth round out of Vanderbilt -- should help on special teams.
The real key will be to see if the risks taken in this draft somehow turn to rewards in years to come for the G-Men.

We've all heard stories about the Jets and their draft day blunders -- ESPN would have it no other way. But over the last few years, New York has turned a corner. No longer were they taking O'Briens over Marinos, and no longer were they the laughing stock of the NFL.
Would that trend continue in 2008 or would the Jets revert back to their old ways?
Vernon Gholston, DE/LB, Ohio State (Round 1, Pick 6 overall)
Although most Jets fans were elated when Gholston had his name called, quite a few seemed very disappointed. With all the rumors about trading up for Darren McFadden, it had to be a bit of a letdown for New Yorkers. But on the bright side, it's not exactly like they walked away with Joe What's His Name.
Gholston has incredible physical talent and a good football IQ. The one knock against him is that he doesn't give it all on every play -- something that will have to change in the NFL.
Dustin Keller, TE, Purdue (Round 1, Pick 30 overall)
After trading up to this spot, many Jets fans were expecting fireworks. Unfortunately, when Keller's name was called, they gave a typical New York reaction. However, unlike in years past, this selection wasn't a poor decision. The Jets were in desperate need of a play-making tight end, and with rumors of the Giants interest in him, drafting Keller was the best move they could have possibly made.
Dwight Lowery, CB, San Jose State (Round 4, Pick 113 overall)
Lowery brings several things to the table for New York, including a ton of potential. He had a monster year in 2006, leading the nation in interceptions and catching the eye of most NFL scouts. Unfortunately, a broken jaw in 2007 really cost him some brownie points. But his loss is New York's gain. Don't think for a second that this kid can't develop into a quality NFL cornerback.
Erik Ainge, QB, Tennessee (Round 5, Pick 162 overall)
Ainge was an interesting pick for the Jets in the fifth round, but provides good value so late in the draft. He has Chad Pennington-like arm strength, but a Tom Brady-like confidence. Should Kellen Clemens falter as New York's starting QB, Ainge could be a long-term developmental option.
Marcus Henry, WR, Kansas (Round 6, Pick 171 overall)
Henry is a project, but one that could pay huge dividends. His football IQ leaves a little to be desired and he has a lot of learning to do. Still, he's a very tall, very fast receiver that could end up being a steal down the road.
Nate Garner, OT, Arkansas (Round 7, Pick 211 overall)
Garner will never be confused for a starter, but will provide some depth along the offensive line. He doesn't really fit the current mold for NFL tackles and struggles when asked to pull. Of all the Jets selections, this is the most questionable.
Overall grade: C+/B-
The success of the Jets' 2008 draft really hinges on the production of Gholston. Can he be an every-down player? Will he give it 100 percent at the next level?
If he does, New York will have a powerhouse DE/LB for many years to come. In fact, we may look back on this draft and recognize him as the most successful DE/LB taken. If not, then another clip will be added to the long list of draft day failures.

What people are talking about this morning ...
- In the weeks leading up to the draft, the New Orleans Saints and several other teams approached the Giants about a trade for oft-injured Pro Bowler Jeremy Shockey, who admittedly was unhappy with his role. The Giants listened, but that was it.
- Kenny Smith, a TNT analyst and 10-year veteran of the NBA, confirmed his interest in the Knicks' GM position. (NY Times)
Although there was a lot of jawing amongst fans at the NFL Draft, there was a moment of united cheer Saturday afternoon.
 Some time between rounds 18-20 (it's too wild to remember exactly when), NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell introduced several members of the United Stated Armed Forces to the audience. Rather than ignoring their presence or allowing political beliefs to cloud their judgment, every single person in attendance rose and gave these brave men and women a standing ovation that lasted several minutes.
It was, by far, the best moment of the draft and something that will not likely be topped.
While the focus quickly shifted back to football, it's a scene I shall not soon forget.
MORE:
Expectations were high for General Manager Jerry Reese and the New York Giants entering the NFL Draft. A year removed from one of the franchise's best drafts of all-time, it was up to "Jerry the Genius" to do it all over again.
Although it will be a while before the Giants see just how productive their rookies really are, things certainly look good on paper.
 Kenny Phillips, FS, Miami (Round 1, Pick 31 overall)
Phillips was widely considered the best safety in the NFL Draft and was often ranked amongst the Top-10 or 15 players available. He adds youth, speed and athleticism to New York's secondary and will almost be assured of a starting role right off the bat. Not to mention, he was clearly a fan favorite.
Terrell Thomas, CB, USC (Round 2, Pick 63 overall)
Many fans believed the Giants would draft Dan Connor at this point, but they opted to go with Thomas instead. And while that surprised many, a closer look reveals another impressive selection for New York. Not only can Thomas play both cornerback and safety, but he's also known for having an incredible work ethic. By all accounts, Thomas should have a very solid NFL career if he can remain healthy.
Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan (Round 3, Pick 95 overall)
This pick is a mixed bag for Reese and the Giants. Being able to secure a talent like Manningham with the 95th pick overall is almost unbelievable ... almost. Unfortunately, there is a reason that every single NFL team passed this kid up several times. He has amazing talent, but his character concerns and lackadaisical combine attitude cost him big; a score of six on the Wonderlic test didn't help him either.
Unlike the situation that led to Ahmad Bradshaw falling down the draft charts last year, Manningham's off-field issues have been ongoing and are quite unsettling. Still, if he can manage to turn the corner and work on his physicality, he could be the steal of the draft.
Bryan Kehl, OLB, BYU (Round 4, Pick 123 overall)
The Giants needed to add a few linebackers, and grabbed their first one after trading up in Round 4. Kelh may not be the sexiest pick, but he's very physical and has a motor that never stops. The one knock on Kehl is that he may have already reached his athletic limit.
 Jonathan Goff, ILB, Vanderbilt (Round 5, Pick 165 overall)
Goff is what many consider a "value pick." Not only does he add depth to a position in need, he also happens to be extremely talented for the round in which he was selected. By all accounts, Goff was the fifth best inside linebacker available in the draft and has a tremendous amount of upside. He could be groomed to eventually replace Antonio Pierce.
Andre' Woodson, QB, Kentucky (Round 6, Pick 198 overall)
What? A quarterback? Seriously? That was the reaction by most Giants fans when this selection ran across the screen, but they should not have been so surprised. How many of you would actually be comfortable with Jared Lorenzen, Anthony Wright or David Carr taking any meaningful snaps? The answer: Not many.
Lorenzen and Wright are both on their way out, while Carr will probably only stick around for a year. Woodson is an extremely talented quarterback with a great arm, and while he may never start, he will provide security behind Eli Manning. If nothing else, he may turn into a terrific bargaining chip for the Giants down the road.
Robert Henderson, DE, Southern Mississippi (Round 6, Pick 199 overall)
Very few people believed Henderson would even get drafted, but obviously the Giants saw something in him. He has good size, good speed and has dominated at almost every level. As Ernie Accorsi once said, you can never have enough pass rushers.
Overall Grade: B/B+
It's really hard to accurately grade the Giants draft because you have no idea which Manningham you're getting. If he shows that he's turned the corner and plays like he's capable of, it's an easy A. Until then, however, it falls somewhere between a B and B+.
That said, Reese has earned the trust of most Giants fans, and unlike other general managers in the game, he gets a passing grade just for being who he is. The man has not made a poor selection to date, and unless there is some sort of unexpected collapse with this year's draft class, you have to tip your hat to him and expect quality results.

Not long ago it looked like Antoine Cason was the favorite amongst Giants fans, but when it came time for them to make their selection, it was clear that someone else had won over the hearts of New Yorkers.
"Kenny Phillips! Kenny Phillips!" 
As Jets fans had done for Vernon Gholston, Giants fans had begun chanting the name of the Miami safety. And when Roger Goodell addressed the team as Super Bowl champions and announced that Phillips was their pick, the building was nearly brought to the ground.
It was a moment that made it very difficult for me -- acting as a journalist, not a fan -- to maintain my composure. I wanted to get up and yell, to chant and cheer. And in fact, ignoring every journalistic code of law, that's exactly what I did.
Several of my colleagues could not help but laugh as I paraded up the aisle toward the fans and away from the media. And much to my surprise, I realized I was not the only one!
A few other journalists and beat writers, who shall all remain nameless, had also found their way up into the crowd and were openly cheering for the G-Men along with everyone else.
All in all, it was a great selection, a great moment, and it will ultimately become another great memory.

"The New York Jets are on the clock ..."
With those words, the crowd at Radio City Music Hall erupted in cheers and the "J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!" chants began.
With five of the six rookie invitees already out of the picture, it seemed like the Jets had only one choice: Defensive end/linebacker Vernon Gholston. And as the clock slowly ticked down, those chants quickly turned into "Vernon Gholston!"
As NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell approached the podium, the theater became deafening.
"Jets fans," Goodell began, "with the sixth selection in the 2008 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select defensive end Vernon Gholston."
Although the building had been buzzing up until that point, this announcement brought out some boo-birds. And while most Jets fans seemed elated, quite a few seemed disappointed with their first-round draft selection.
Despite the boos, Gholston immediately slapped on his brand new New York Jets hat and happily posed with a bright green jersey in hand.
Why any Jets fan would be unhappy with this pick is beyond me. It’s clear that they wanted Darren McFadden, but by that time he was long gone. And with a glaring need at defensive end/linebacker, Gholston was the optimal choice.
In all likelihood, those are the first and last boos Gholston will hear from Jets fans.

How often do everyday fans get to sit amongst the likes of Bob Ryan and Paul Schwartz? How often do fans get to walk into a building and immediately come face-to-face with Deion Sanders? And how often do fans find themselves sitting two rows behind various NFL executives preparing for the crucial NFL Draft?
The answer is not often, but that’s exactly where I find myself today.
 At this very moment, and for the first time in my life, I am rubbing elbows with some of the most popular and well-known sports journalists in the world. And let me tell you, it feels fantastic!
But as amazing as this experience has been so far, and will most certainly be moving forward, it’s been equally as stressful.
The day began with a canceled train reservation (into Penn Station), followed by a delay of the second train. It was beginning to look like I wasn’t going to make it here to Radio City Music Hall and that was quite disheartening. Luckily, the ball did eventually begin to roll and I made my way to the greatest city in the world.
After a few intense blocks in a New York City taxi, I had reached my destination: The 2008 NFL Draft.
The mob outside RCMH was like nothing I had ever seen before and probably something I will never see again. It was like an NFL rainbow; thousands of fans dressed in wild outfits, donning their favorite team's jersey.
Once inside, things moved quickly. I was given my NFL Draft “press box” pass, an NFL Draft “live audio coverage” radio (little did I know how important this would become), and an NFL Draftees manual, which was so large I could barely carry it.
When I was finally able to sit down, it was time to take it all in. And let me say this: TV coverage does this spectacle no justice.
To give you an idea of my view, I was two rows back from various NFL scouts and coaches, sitting two seats diagonal to Bob Ryan and almost centered in front of the main stage (slightly to the right).
Notable fan reactions:
- Any mention of the New York Jets has garnered more applause than mention of the New York Giants.
- Any video of Terrell Owens or the New England Patriots was met with a heavy chorus of boos.
- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was booed louder than anyone (other than the Patriots).

What people are talking about this morning ...
- Good news for the New York Jets? Raiders coach Lane Kiffin said the team is giving consideration to moving down from the No. 4 spot in the first round to make up for the fact that Oakland's second of five picks doesn't come until the fourth round with the 104th overall selection.
- More e-mails involving SuperSonics owner Clay Bennett have been revealed that could slow or even stop the team's move from Seattle to Oklahoma City, a move the NBA overwhelmingly approved last week.
- Ryan Potulny scored at 2:58 of the fifth overtime to give the Philadelphia Phantoms a 3-2 victory over the Albany River Rats early Friday in the longest game in American Hockey League's 72-year history.
- Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas, starting for the first time since November, left the game after injuring his surgically repaired knee in the first half Thursday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
For a diehard football fan, the NFL Draft is like an offseason Super Bowl. They get to kick back, relax and root for their team like it was a divisional game in week 15.
A solid draft could lead to the unimaginable, while a poor draft could lead to several thousand broken hearts.
With so much at stake, and so many options for every team, I've decided to take a look at who may be available for each New York team when their name is called. This mini-series ends with the defending Super Bowl Champions.
 Dan Connor, LB, Penn State: Connor's stock has dropped a bit over the last month, but that hasn't stopped several mock draft specialists from linking him to the Giants. With Kawika Mitchell and Reggie Torbor now in the AFC East, New York is a little thin at linebacker. And although Connor may not be a pass-rushing speedster, he has a lot of intangibles and would add to the Giants already warrior-like mentality on defense.
Kenny Phillips, S, Miami (FL): The departure of Gibril Wilson is going to hurt New York more than many Giants fans realize. Not only was Wilson a hard hitter, he was also tremendous against the run and a solid special teams contributor. Phillips fits that sort of mold and projects to be a top 10 NFL safety by his second year. It would not be the most popular pick among fans, but an understandable one.
Reggie Smith, S, Oklahoma: Despite being more of a "tweener," Smith seems to lead the popularity vote among Giants fans. Many believe he has a higher upside than Phillips and also offers experience at two important defensive positions. On the down side, scouts believe Smith will struggle to turn and run with pro receivers -- bad news for anyone playing in the NFC East.
Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona: Despite a solid performance turned in by Corey Webster during the playoffs, cornerback still appears to be an area of need for the Giants. If Cason can fall through the cracks, New York will almost certainly snatch him up. He's an extremely intelligent football player with amazing instincts and leadership ability.
Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina: There is very little chance that Balmer will fall to the Giants, but if he slips to the late 20s, Jerry Reese may trade up a few spots to get him. This kid has an unlimited ceiling and seemed to finally realize that last year. He would be another great addition to an already solid defensive line rotation.
Other potential interests: Tyrell Johnson, S, Arkansas State and Sam Baker, OT, USC.
MORE:
The answers to these five questions will go a long way in determining how well the Jets and Giants perform this season.
1) What are Big Blue's needs?
It's time for the Giants to get younger at the DB position. Sam Madison, R.W. McQuarters and this off-season's addition of safety Sammy Knight can get them through this season. But they lost safety Gibril Wilson, as well as linebackers Kawika Mitchell and Reggie Torbor. So, they also need help at the LB position.
2) Who might the Giants draft?
 Kenny Phillips
The 6-foot-2, 210 lb junior safety from Miami was highly productive this past season, and is a sure tackler with speed to cover.
Dajuan Morgan
At 6-foot-1 and 206 lbs., the junior safety out of NC State has a knack for being around the ball.
Tyrell Johnson
The Arkansas State safety -- 6-foot, 185 lbs. -- had a terrific combine workout, and the Giants also like the small school product's character on and off the field.
Jerod Mayo
Big Blue would love to see the Tennessee linebacker still around when they pick 31st, but this junior's stock is on the rise. At 6-foot-2, 230 lbs., he reminds me a little of Antonio Pierce; can play inside or outside and is a force against the run.
3) What are the Jets' needs?
Gang Green could use a play-maker, someone who strikes fear in the opponent's defense or an intimidating pass rusher.
4) Who will Gang Green take with the 6th pick in the draft?
The Oakland Raiders hold the key to that question because if they take Arkansas RB Darren McFadden, then the Jets would hope to pick Ohio State DE Vernon Gholston. At 6-foot-4, 264 lbs., Gholston looks like Tarzan, but the Jets would hope he doesn't play like Jane.
The player they really want is McFadden -- in my opinion Glenn Dorsey and McFadden are the best in this draft -- but Gang Green will have to sweat it out.
5) Who will be drafted from Rutgers?
 Running back Ray Rice could go somewhere in the second round, with either the Colts or Buccaneers calling his name.
Offensive lineman Jeremy Zuttah had a terrific combine and can play center, guard and tackle. At 6-foot-4, 285 lbs., he is likely to go late in the second round or back in the third round.
Offensive lineman Pedro Sosa -- 6-foot-5, 288 lbs. -- had a great senior season at left tackle, just ask South Florida sack master George Selvie. He's still recovering from knee surgery, but could be taken in the fifth or sixth round.
Safety Ron Girault -- 5-foot-11, 205 lbs -- performed well at RU's pro day and is a smart, sure tackler and leader. Girault worked out for the Jets and should be a late draft pick.
Offensive lineman Mike Fladell, linebacker Brandon Renkart and wide receiver James Townsend could also be selected late.

A solid draft could lead to the unimaginable, while a poor draft could lead to several thousand broken hearts.
With so much at stake, and so many options for every team, I've decided to take a look at who may be available for each New York team when their name is called.
I'll start this mini-series with the New York Jets:
 Vernon Gholston, DE/LB, Ohio State:
If it weren't for Chris and Jake Long, Gholston may have been considered the favorite to go No. 1 overall. By all accounts, he's the most talented athlete available in the draft and also has the highest upside. He seems like an ideal fit for the Jets and appears to be one of the very few "can't miss" prospects.
Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas:
The chances of McFadden falling to the Jets are slim to none, but that won't stop them from going after him. There have been rumors about New York's interest in him for quite some time, and more fuel was added to the fire yesterday when rumors began to swirl about New York possibly trading up.
Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College:
As I noted yesterday, the Jets appear to "love Ryan" and may be seriously considering him with the sixth pick overall. It's clear that they've finally given up on Chad Pennington and have very little faith in Kellen Clemens. But is Ryan really the answer? It's a relatively thin talent pool at quarterback this year and Ryan just happens to be the best of the bunch.
Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC:
A defensive tackle may not be on the top of New York's wish list, but Ellis is an elite prospect that may be hard to pass up if both McFadden and Gholston are gone. Not only is Ellis a solid run-stuffer, but he's also a fierce pass-rusher with a non-stop motor. It'd be hard to go wrong with a selection like this.
Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida:
Harvey may not be the sexiest pick at No. 6, but if all other options are exhausted and a trade isn't made, this may be a forced selection. The Jets need a solid defensive end and Harvey is exactly that. He may never evolve into a Pro Bowl player, but he'd certainly give New York 7-to-10 years of serviceable production at the defensive end position.
Other potential options: Various trade down scenarios.
MORE:
A franchise defensive end/linebacker may be all it takes to push the New York Jets over the edge, so when this Saturday rolls around, it should come as no surprise to anyone if they were to draft quarterback Matt Ryan in the first round.
 Although most logical scouts and mock drafts have New York taking Vernon Gholston at number six, there are an increasing number of reports that claim the Jets "love Ryan" and are seriously considering him in round one.
Adding fuel to those reports are the sudden rumors that the Jets and Ravens are discussing a Chad Pennington trade.
So, what does this say about the Jets' confidence in Kellen Clemens? And is any of it even true? Well, that's the beauty of the NFL Draft -- everything is open for speculation!
That said, I certainly wouldn't put it past the Jets. After all, they do have a long history of taking the wrong person at the wrong time.
Note: There are also several reports that the Jets could trade up for a chance at Darren McFadden.

Outside of the ongoing Jeremy Shockey drama, one of the most talked about and controversial topics in Giants land is the upcoming NFL Draft. With so many pressing needs, the raging debate has been what direction is the right one for New York.
With the departures of Kawika Mitchell, Reggie Torbor and Gibril Wilson, the simple answer is safety and linebacker; however, not everyone sees it that way.
 Although the Giants seem stacked at wide receiver, many fans still believe another young talent is in order -- possibly in round one.
But do the Giants really need another wide receiver? Do they even have room for another?
David Tyree's stellar Super Bowl performance, coupled with his superb special teams talent, all but guarantees a spot on the Giants 2008-09 roster.
In addition to Tyree, Domenik Hixon is an extremely valuable special teams asset and a much-needed spark in the return game. He, too, will have a roster spot reserved for him when the Giants open against the Washington Redskins in early September.
Then comes the obvious: Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer and Steve Smith. Although Toomer's career may be coming to an end, all three are a part of the Giants' immediate plans, and all three will play very important roles for New York this coming season.
Since the Giants are unlikely to carry more than six wide receivers on their active roster, that leaves only one spot up for grabs. Could it be reserved for a rookie? Absolutely. But with Sinorice Moss and Michael Jennings both vying for that final opening, it would seem wasteful for GM Jerry Reese to throw away a pick on something they don't really need.
While some wide receivers may be enticing, the reality is that New York doesn't need another one. Sure, it'd be nice to have another game-breaker for Eli Manning to throw to, but a quality cornerback, safety or linebacker are much more important at the moment.
