	I really like this pick. With the team not having any glaring needs that weren't already addressed this was definatly a value pick. The only thing I was looking for after our first two was a lb which we traded up in the 4th 8 spots so they must be big on him.

	I think this pick for the Giants is a steal. There is a big upside with Mario, and he can really help, maybe not an impact player this year but down the road, especially with Toomer getting older.

	Well he was considered a first round pick at one point so there's really no denying his talent. However if he doesn't lay off the weed he won't have a chance to show off his talent. Hopefully he'll have grown up enough to realize he'd be squandering millions of dollars by doing drugs in the NFL.

	How could they pass him up? This is an amazing pick. Everyone makes it seems like hes such a bad person and is gonna have problems with his character. I really doubt that. He just admitted to marijuana..... big deal. 2nd round talent in the 3rd round. steal.

	I agree that this pick is a steal. Manningham is a first round quality player. His off the field problems are less serious than a lot of players, and he's shown maturity in dealing with them now rather than later.

	Could be the steal of the draft. Let's see what he does this season. Notice I already have him making the team. Who's gonna beat him out? Sinorice Moss? NOT! Nice compliment to Plax, Toomer, Smith.

	I hated this guy while he was in school. (Penn State fan) so i know a little bit about Mario Manningham... Michigan fans... dont even start. But anyways the kid can play. His off the field issues are somewhat of a factor to think about, but the Giants are a class organization that will read him the riot act and make sure he carries himself like a New York Giant. Mario Manningham can get deep quickly, and has great hands. For Giants fans out there, think Tim Carter with hands. Absolutely a steal. In fact on my blog...Link > >> The True Blue Review I had him ranked in my top 5 that the Giants could take in the first round. He gives Eli Manning a deep target and will stretch the field. I am very pleased with this pick.
