Freak athletes?
Who are some players the Giants are projected to go after with our 1st round pick that folks would consider "freak athletes?" With our BPA mentality, is there a freak we may go after that could surprise us b/c it's not a need.
The only person I can think of from an intangible standpoint is the WR from Georgia Tech. He's tall, can leap and is very fast.
Any thoughts?

[/quote]The thing about Hill is he times so much faster then he plays. He isnt smooth as a route runner so unless he is running in a straight line his speed is useless. He is a lot like Heyward Bey

To be fair to bey, he has gotten better. Still not worth a first round pick, but still lol

Heywad Bey made great strides the second half of last year. Look for him to have a big year next year. I think some WRs have to learn how to use their speed to their advantage. Hill may be this same type of player. I prefer Kendall Right to Hill. Right is the most NFL ready receiver in the draft and we can win now. </P>

Bey actually looked pretty good this year. And there we rumors the giants were highly interested in drafting him.

Gotcha. Yea, I didn't know much about Hill, just read about his bio/stats.
What about other positions? Is there a pass rusher that would be too hard to pass up? A DB, or LB? I don't believe there's a RB that stands out at 32, but maybe an OT?

+1
49 career receptions in college ... I don't see the Giants blowing a first rounder on that.
And I doubt he's there at the end of the second because someone will bite on him due to his Combine performance.

There isnt anyone in that freak athletic mold at 32 in the realm of JPP.
But Nicks wasent an "athletic freak" either.
