Comments on: Draft recap show with a lil’ help from Ralph Vacchiano http://www.nygiantscast.com/blog/2009/04/28/draft-recap-show-with-a-lil-help-from-ralph-vacchiano/ Two die-hard Giants fans host a popular fan-based podcast and accompanying blog Sat, 31 Jul 2010 20:07:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Seth http://www.nygiantscast.com/blog/2009/04/28/draft-recap-show-with-a-lil-help-from-ralph-vacchiano/comment-page-1/#comment-448 Seth Wed, 29 Apr 2009 17:36:21 +0000 http://www.nygiantscast.com/blog/2009/04/28/draft-recap-show-with-a-lil-help-from-ralph-vacchiano/#comment-448 Nice interview, guys! I'm totally with you on your thoughts on the Blue Screen; Ralph definitely has the most up-to-the-minute news regarding the Giants. Reading his blog on a daily basis will make the wait until the season starts that much shorter. I have to agree that the Giants really should have made a move to get Edwards (or Boldin, but now I'm more sold on Edwards). They most likely could have traded up in the 2nd round to grab a nice little WR prospect AND gotten Edwards, but I guess the price was still too high. I'm not sure our passing game is going to be effective this season without a stud out there to catch the balls, but who knows; maybe Nicks will have an awesome rookie campaign. It's happened before. There still is that chance that they'll try to pry Edwards away from the Browns. They ended up trading Shockey last year after the draft, so there's no reason why they won't give up picks in next year's draft to get him. I won't keep my hopes up so that way if it does happen, it'll be a nice surprise. This year's team will most likely end up being like the 1990-91 SB Team: Stud Defense, Stud Run Game and a Blah Passing Game. The ingredients for a 10-6 or 11-5 season. I'll still take it though!!
