If they ask who was our star, give them twenty five names, and if you forget our names, just tell them we were Yankees.
True but that player would also be 22 rather than 28.
I'd still rather do what I have to in order to get McClain on draft day.

Agree. But it will cost you.
Depends what happens in the evaluation process. Who knows, there might be a potential great MLB who is around in the 2nd or 3rd round that we have our eye on.
We cant forget that great players are found in every single round.

The latest mock draft has McClain falling to #15. Tha'd certainly work for me.

how likely is that, really?

When is the combine? We should have a better idea by then.

The combine starts 2 weeks from yesterday.

TheBlueScreen It's early, and a lot can change, but I've heard the Giants are more interested in MLBs in the draft than in free agency, to replace AP #nyg
Yeah, it's in 13 days. That's hilarious.
I also hear the NFL Draft is in a little over 2 months. Holy ................, what a knee-slapper.
I heard they moved the 1st day of the draft to Friday night. How stupid. I really do not like Goodell at all.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/fo...g_concern.htmlJonathan Goff is the incumbent going into training camp, but there is a solution for the Giants in the draft: Alabama's Rolando McClain. He is projected to go right outside the top 10 in April. The Giants are picking 15th. That puts GM Jerry Reese in prime position to trade up a few spots
Dumb & Dumber
They did that last year. It starts on Thursday this year.
Don't tease me, you know what I do for a living.
I wonder what it takes to make a deal? I'm hoping he does drop out of the top 10 so the price to move up won't be as steep.
In 2 months? really? LMFAO!
On a serious note, holding the draft on a Thursday is stupid.
If I were Denver at #10, I would be taking McClain, regardless of what happens with Brandon Marshall.
Don't tease me, you know what I do for a living.
ESPN offically turned it into an advertising most eye$ on the tv event.In 2 months? really? LMFAO!

Yeah I mean, I know it's going to take a lot to move up in the top 10 from 15. That's the fun of the draft though. You never know who might fall right into your lap.
Minor news, but if you're one of those people who likes going to training camp, it seems as though they're staying in Albany:

I can see a few people here having trouble with this:
So now the Giants employ 2 Kevin Gilbrides.TheBlueScreen Kevin Gilbride Jr., son of the Giants' offensive coordinator, is reportedly the team's new offensive quality control coach. #nyg
Two Gilbrides? Holy ................ what a knee slapper!
iyam..that's 2 Gilbrides too many.Two Gilbrides? Holy ................ what a knee slapper!
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
Quality control..glorified secretary.

one kevin gilbride was too many, now 2?! we're doooooooomed!

http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/gia...out-for-g.htmlThe Giants brought in several kickers during the season for tryouts to keep the pressure on incumbent Lawrence Tynes. Now they’re doing it in the offseason, too.
Former Cowboys kicker Nick Folk will work out for the Giants later this week, according to a report on ProFootballTalk.com. While in the area, the report said, he’ll also work out for the Jets.
Dumb & Dumber
The last Offensive QC coach (Ryan) was just promoted to WR coach to replace Sullivan, who has been promoted to QB coach. It may be a non-sexy position, but that doesn't mean he's a glorified secretary. WR coach is a significant position.
I have no association with "TEPLimey" at nomaas. Apparently a very disturbed individual likes to get their rocks off on pretending they are me. Sad, really.
They are bringing in the wrong kickers. We need a new punter.
Bring back Ted Lilly!
Ofcourse...Mangini had that title in New England and was able to work his way up.
All I'm saying is that the job in itself doesnt mean much. Kinda like being one of the many assistant coaches on an NBA bench. It doesnt mean you will never get a Head Coaching role but at the present time, you role isnt all that crucial.

SI.com's newest mock draft has Rolando falling right into the GMen's laps at 15:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...t-2/index.html15 ILB Rolando McClain Alabama Jr. 6-4 258
With veteran middle linebacker Antonio Pierce released, the Giants have a job just waiting for the polished McClain. New York's defensive line still needs more pass rush, so a talent like Georgia Tech's Derrick Morgan, USC's Everson Griffen, or Florida's Carlos Dunlap could be on the radar screen for the G-Men.
The Giants would have to trade up at least 5 spots to have a realistic shot at McClain.
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
Eh, you're probably right. I could see them making that deal though. I don't know that they want Goff in that spot next season.
http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/giant...HGxqO0yPGtmBXJThe Giants are in the process of making tender offers to their restricted free agents and should be able to keep all of the 11 players in that category if they so desire.
Of course, they won't want to bring back all of them, but offering tenders is a no-risk move that at least ensures they will be able to match any offer and receive compensation if the player signs elsewhere.
Teams can make an "original pick" tender -- which means the compensation is a draft pick in the same round the player was selected in the draft -- or use a higher or lower tender, depending on how valuable or desirable the team deems the player to be.
In the case of someone such as defensive tackle Barry Cofield, the Giants want to keep him but aren't looking to secure him with a long-term deal. Cofield in 2006 was a fourth-round draft pick, but this week the Giants used a second-round tender on him.
That means Cofield is guaranteed $1.759 million for the 2010 season. He made $1.01 million last season and is a virtual lock to return, as the Giants figure no team will be willing to give up a second-round draft pick for him.
Somewhat surprisingly, backup defensive end Dave Tollefson -- originally a seventh-round draft pick of the Packers -- also was given a second-round tender, assuring he will make $1.684 million this season -- a nice raise from the $460,000 he made last season -- and that he, too, won't be going anywhere.
Linebacker Gerris Wilkinson (third round) and tackle Guy Whimper (fourth round) were both given "original pick" tenders.
The other restricted free agents are offensive lineman Kevin Boothe, safety C.C. Brown, cornerback Kevin Dockery, tight end Darcy Johnson and receivers Derek Hagan, Domenik Hixon and Sinorice Moss.
Tendering a player ensures nothing, as the Giants at a later date can cut any of them. Figure Brown, Dockery, Johnson and Moss won't be back.
Looks like thats finally it for Moss
Dumb & Dumber
And Brown. 1 season too late.
NotoriousOHM Coughlin just talked and said Osi will have to earn the starting jobOsi might not like this...NotoriousOHM Coughlin hopes the Osi situation does not become a Shockey situation
Looks like the guy wants a new contract after his worst year as a pro (on and off the field). What a joke.
Nope, they tendered him for some odd reason. Dockery and Darcy Johnson were not tendered.
Don't tease me, you know what I do for a living.
And now he gets tendered for reasons I can't fathom.
Don't tease me, you know what I do for a living.
My dream scenario right now is for us to sign Dansby and then draft Taylor Mays.
I think I'd rather see them go after Kirk Morrison, who the Raiders only put a 3rd round tender on, then Dansby. Dansby is said to be looking for $30M guaranteed and he hasn't played MLB in a 4-3.
Don't tease me, you know what I do for a living.

The media is hedging all of their bets. I've seen reports from $100M for Peppers to this. The truth is that the ones who are talking don't know, and the ones who know aren't talking.
Signing Peppers and trading Osi to move up and draft McClain would be a wise move, IMO.
I have no association with "TEPLimey" at nomaas. Apparently a very disturbed individual likes to get their rocks off on pretending they are me. Sad, really.
Rolle expected to visit Giants
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-visit-giants/
I really hoped I would wake up this morning to see that we have chased Peppers.
Oh well.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
If they are going after Rolle, does that mean Phillips might be more hurt then they are letting on?
Some reports state that KP's injury can threaten his career, and that even if he returns, he will never be the same player. If true, signing Rolle becomes a necessity, not a luxury.
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
I think it has as much to do with Michael Johnson's crappy play as Phillips' injury.
Don't tease me, you know what I do for a living.
Rolle's a Giant. Although we certainly overpaid a bit, it helps fill a necessary hole.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...n-from-giants/Safety Antrel Rolle has a new home.
Barely a day after being cut by the Cardinals, Rolle has agreed to terms with the Giants.
Per a league source, it's a five-year deal worth $37 million, an NFL record for a safety. Rolle gets $15 million guaranteed and $22.5 million over the first three years.
He reportedly wanted $8 million per year, but the top of the market had been only $7 million. Rolle now pushes the high-water market even higher, thanks to the final year of a rookie deal that forced the Cardinals to pay him $12 million or set him free.
The Bears and Dolphins were in on the deal early, but both dropped out after plunking down big money on other big-name defensive free agents.
