JAYRON HOSLEY WAS A GOOD PICK FOR THE GIANTS

"The pick of <a href="http://www.rantsports.com/search/?cx=partner-pub-1362184578149106%3A0810558991&amp;cof=FORID%3A10&a mp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=jayron+hosley&amp;sa=Search&amp;siteurl=ww w.rantsports.com%2Fnew-york-giants%2F&amp;ref=www.rantsports.com%2Fnfl%2Fteams %2F">Jayron
Hosley</a> may prove to be an important pick for the New York Giants in 2012.
Corners are much needed in today’s NFL and you can never have enough of them.
Hosley will fill a need as the Giants move forward in this season.

Prince Amukamara </a>in really his first full season will end up playing the
nickel. Hosley at this point is the team’s fourth best corner. He’s one play
away from being on the field a lot for the Giants. If Hosley was two inches
taller he probably would’ve been a first round pick.
</p>


Hosley plays a physical brand of corner and may also help in the kick and
punt return games. Just because the Giants picked Hosley doesn’t mean they think
less of what a guy like Amukamara can do. The way teams run wide open offenses
around the NFL, you need as many good corners as you can to cover the wide
receivers and maybe even some tight ends. Little injuries come around here and
there throughout the NFL season, and having depth at every position is
important.
</p>


Hosley did fail a drug test at the combine which might have caused his stock
to drop a little bit, and guys who end up failing drug tests will have questions
about them especially in their first year and being in New York. With all that
said, I think this was a solid, smart draft pick by Jerry Reese and may prove
great dividends right away in 2012."</p>

I really hope he, or anyone for that matter, can add some pepper to our bland return game.

4.38 40 with great cover skills. I really like this pick.

Hopefully he's fairly polished in both man and zone coverages. In our system, you need to be versatile.

Does the failed drug test scare anybody else b/c it scares me. The most important 2 month period of your life and you can't lay off the marijuana. I honestly don't know what goes through these guys heads. Yes they are young men and 20 something guys aren't notorious for their savvy decision making, but c'mon. I did a lot of dumb things when I was 20 but I never had a chance to make millions presented to me. If I did I'd like to think I'd put the doobie down.

If Hixon is healthy, it will be his job to lose.

I don't disagree with you in terms of "what were you thinking?" However, for Reese &amp; Co. to pick him means, to me, he's got a boatload of talent they are pretty sure they can develop.

He reminds me a lot of a young Asante Samuel.
