Re: National love for Giants, Eagles' drafts out of control?
 

From the above article...

What Heckert and Reid did, in brief:

• Traded the 85th overall pick (third round) to the Giants for the 91st (third-round) and the 164th (fifth-round) picks.

• Traded the 91st pick to Seattle for the 137th (fifth-round), 213th (seventh-round) and the Seahawks' third-round pick in 2010.

• Traded the fifth-round pick acquired from Seattle plus the 141st pick (fifth-round, acquired from Cleveland) to New England for cornerback Hobbs.

• Traded the fifth-round pick acquired from the Giants to New Orleans for the 222nd pick (seventh-round), plus the Saints' fifth-round pick in 2010.

• Traded the seventh-round pick acquired from New Orleans to Indianapolis for the Colts' sixth-round pick in 2010.

• Used the seventh-round pick acquired from Seattle to pick guard Paul Fanaika.

So they also got a 3rd, 5th, and a 6th rounder next year. Pretty smart thinking imo.

Now if they would have spent a couple $'s every now and again, they would have most likely won a SB by now. I'm glad they don't.

Again, like I mentioned, saying the Eagles got enough in this draft to trade for a lot of picks in next years draft requires the belief that Maclin fills a need and will be a great player. And then, whatever your opinion is of Maclin, grade the Giants fairly based on the fact that they didn't get him.

Heath Shuler was such a great quarterback that they named a candy bar after him. :)

:laughing- I was actually excited about drafting him. :doh:

Re: National love for Giants, Eagles' drafts out of control?
 

[quote=redsk1;553616]Both had a good draft.

Philly: Maclin, McCoy (who is going to be good), Harris (all acc corner)

NYG: Nicks, Sintim (who will also be a solid to very good pro), Beatty (an OL 6'6" who slipped, and Barden (6'6" WR who scored a crapload of TD's in college)

Both have multiple impact and role players. The Eagles also got return specialist Ellis Hobbs in a trade, not bad.

So, I can understand the love a little. We got 1 impact player and a hopeful.[/quote]

Who's the hopeful?

Not to mention they'll likely recieve a 2nd rd pick from the Jets for Lito(which he should play a lot for them).
2-2nds
2-3rds
2-5th
2-6ths
