The Giants made some great picks in the 1st 2 rounds of the draft today.
With the 1st pick, the Giants got a good looking WR, Hakeem Nicks. He broke 13 receiving records at UNC (in only 2 seasons). He is known for having good hands.
In the 2nd round, the giants picked up a pass-rushing LB, Clint Sinton & a big OT, William Beatty. Sinton had 13 sacks last year, but he played OLB in a 3-4 scheme. Beatty was picked in many mock drafts to go in the 1st round.
Overall, it looks like Reese & co made some good moves. Nicks should (keep your fingers crossed) be able to help right away. Beatty will not be replacing Diehl or McKenzie at tackle this year (or pushing Diehl back to guard). Sinton & Beatty will need some grooming time, but should be great additions for years to come.
Can't wait for tomorrow's selections.
