Pretty decent draft so far. I still really don't like McClain in the 1st but Jones in the 4th would be a steal. I'm definitely warming up to the idea of a RB in the 3rd to replace Buckhalter.

Giants are looking to trade up (perhaps). Denver could move if they want, right

If DENVER is looking to trade down.... Things might work out well for us!

We pick at 11, and after us goes MIA-SF-SEA-NYG!

All four of those teams MIGHT be looking at Spiller. I'm sure Spiller slips out of the top-10, and if JAX starts to dangle the picks.... Well, we might do the same. Price would be cheaper, right?

If NYG wants to get CJ, wouldn't they deal with us? Send us a 3rd round pick?

We still draft Odrick.

Just a thought.

Beat writer Mike Garafolo confirms reports that the Giants are high on Clemson RB C.J. Spiller.

The Giants were listed as one of the teams rumored to be considering a trade into the top ten for a shot at Spiller. According to Garafolo, "It might be a bit early for that kind of talk, but I can tell you the team likes Spiller." The Giants are also believed to be high on Alabama LB Rolando McClain, who will visit on April 12.

C.J. Spiller could be climbing the ladder

There's a sense in some league circles that only a truly special running back is worthy of a top-ten draft pick.

If so, it means that some regard Clemson's C.J. Spiller as a truly special running back.

We're hearing talk of teams possibly trying to invade the lower reaches of the top 10 in order to get a crack at Spiller, with rumors currently focusing on the Dolphins and the Giants.

The Dolphins currently hold the No. 12 pick; the Giants are at 15.

Since 2006, only three running backs have been chosen among the first 10 selections: Darren McFadden, No. 4 in 2008, Adrian Peterson, No. 7 in 2007, and Reggie Bush, No. 2 in 2006. In 2005, three running back were taken in the top five.

That year, the Dolphins drafted Ronnie Brown with the second overall pick. If the rumors are true, they could be looking to supplant Brown with Spiller.

The Giants spent a lot of time with McClain at his pro day and coach Tom Coughlin said during the owners' meetings last week he's impressed with what he's seen from McClain on film. Coughlin also said he spoke to Alabama coach Nick Saban about McClain.

So what more info could the Giants need? Well, perhaps they want to put McClain on a white board to see how well he can run through a 4-3 defense after playing in a 3-4 in college. Or maybe they want their doctors to ask a few questions about his issues with Crohn's Disease.

Or maybe, based on the Giants' recent history of not bringing in their first-round picks for visits, they're not interested in him and this is merely a smoke screen.

Nahhhhhhhh.

Trust me, he's on their radar, as is Clemson running back C.J. Spiller. ProFootballTalk.com reported Monday they're hearing teams, including the Giants, are clamoring to move up for Spiller. It might be a bit early for that kind of talk, but I can tell you the team likes Spiller.

Of course, having said that, I just got word from his agent he's not scheduled to visit the Giants. You know what that means.............

If the Giants want to trade up I think it would be to get McClain.

[ERoyal248]

I would glady trade back with the Giants, we could use some extra picks. They would probably want McClain given thats there biggest need, RB isnt a big need, already got Bradshaw, Jacobs, Ware and Gatrell Johnson. Not sure who i would want at 15 though, maybe Pouncey.

If the Giants want to trade up I think it would be to get McClain.

and if it is for McClain, it will be with Jax to get ahead of Denver.

[Hoserman117]

and if it is for McClain, it will be with Jax to get ahead of Denver.

Why? If we were offering to trade with them I doubt they'd call up Jax to jump ahead of us when they could switch with us.

[JayJack]

and if it is for McClain, it will be with Jax to get ahead of Denver.

Jax want to move back, but if they don't, they are also interested in McClain.

[Den615]

I voted for James. I think he will hold up better than Trindon in the pro's, plus he would be a better situational offensive player as well.

[BF]

Trindon Holiday. Would be entertaining watching a mini rocket returning punts and kickoffs.

[Hoserman117]

I voted Holliday.

[JakeNbake]

Pretty decent draft so far. I still really don't like McClain in the 1st but Jones in the 4th would be a steal. I'm definitely warming up to the idea of a RB in the 3rd to replace Westbrook.

When did we get Westbrook?

[Hoserman117]

When did we get Westbrook?

Sorry I meant Buckhalter. I'll edit

[broncos SB2010]

If the Giants want to trade up I think it would be to get McClain.

It could also be to get Derrick Morgan, Dan Williams, or even Joe Haden. All 3 of these are players that SF, Miami, and Seattle might take. SF probably wouldn't take Williams though.

[I_Shon]

I was torn between Render, and James. Both seem like solid picks. James in my opinion should last longer than holiday.
