Donta Hightower visits NYG

this should make some people on this board happy, not me though. Don't think he fits our scheme.

Alabama's Donta Hightower visited the Giants today. On his way to see the Bears tomorrow. He's a hot commodity right now.

from SI's Peter King on twitter

Well I think he can make a very good SAM.

Which may be a need going forward, seeing as Kiwi is in the last year of his deal.

yea he would definitely be better @ SAM then MLB, but I still think he is more of a 3-4 ILB

he can't be any worse than Sintim lol

Here's the question, though, when was the last time we drafted a higher profile player that came for a pre-draft visist?

JPP, Jernigan, Sintim, Barden, Tracy, Beckum, Im sure there are more.

Interesting

I think this is the giants being open minded, looking at all options. If Hightower is moderately high on their board, he would be a solid pick. Love him as a player, dont overly like him for the giants though

lol we were having this argument in my other thread, don't let Neverend or nycsportzfan hear u say that

I honestly can't answer that, but I don't remember any off the top of my head, at least not first rounders

I didn't know who any of those guys were prior to us drafting them... I know who Donta Hightower is.

Adrian Tracy was a high profile guy???

Um. I would consider any players drafted in the first couple rounds to be pretty high profile players.

How many giants draft picks do you consider high profile if you never heard of anyone? None of them?
