Dan Connor has mo chance to be anything more than Chase Blackburn in the NFL. His skills are limited but he is a solid player. The big run on second-round WR's has left a ton of other positions available. First round was tackles and corners. Second round, wideouts. We got a good second-round corner in Terrell Thomas. Charles Godfrey was ranked higher by Kiper but Thomas has had all the credentials since high school and only injuries put him this far down. When healthy, and he has been for a while he has been awesome. I cannot imagine what WR any sane Giants fan who knows anything about football was clamoring for as every receiver was taken before us in round 2 in what was a notoriously weak class. In fact, the Redskins loading up at receiver in a weak class was, to me, a good thing. When we pick at the end of round 3 there will still be some really solid players available and the Giants are a second-day team anyway as over 5 of our 11 offensive starters and 4 of our defensive starters were drafted on a Sunday. Give Reese some credit, we stayed put, we did not do anything stupid and we got the best available players at the positions we needed. We got the #1 ranked corner even though I believe Tyrell Johnson is the better player, and we got the corner who was the best available in a deep class when we selected second. Mel Kiper, if you look at his boards, is as intelligent as the average fan so his rankings mean nothing anyway. Thomas is a good player at a big-time program and is a solid pick for 63 overall. Calm down to all you guys who don't know your football very well.
