This draft was subpar just based on the lack of top round picks. I don't think that Monty and Golston could make the roster of some of leagues top defenses.

Scouts knew that Rocky had that bad degenerative condition in his knees. We still picked him any way. His career should be taking off right now but he's being held back by nagging injuries.

Not that great of a draft. The only draft I'll like is one where we have all of our own picks.

We are one of the leagues top defenses. We have a maniac owner that will do anything to win. We went after the best DT in football, he would start on any team in the league. If I am wrong, name the team.

Yeah Haynesworth can start on any team.

I was saying that Montgomery and Golston probably wouldn't be able to crack the roster on some of the NFL's top defenses.

I am aware that we had a top ten defense but that didn't translate to wins like it did for the other nine teams.

I can't think of any other team in the league where neither Monty or Golston could at least win a starting job out of camp. Minnesota, probably, but even they could definately use the youth.

Jacksonville 2003-2007 could have probably done without them, but there's no 4-3 defense in the league today that has two guys who you could say would definately start over Monty and Golston. They might not even make the Giants roster, but realistically, either could win a starting job in camp.
