		<description>Koko,
Yeah that is exactly it. 1A. Edwards 1B. Boldin 1C.Holt

I love Boldin but I think Braylon&#039;s skill set is closer to what Plax brings, and I think Braylon is faster. Now, I might be over stating Eli&#039;s need for a tall quality receiver. I think that is where my thinking might be most flawed.</description>

		<description>Really  Edwards is your #1?

Or do you mean 1A: Edwards 1B: Boldin 1C: Holt.
 
Personally I&#039;d take Boldin over everyone else. He&#039;s tough, a good locker room guy (sans the one episode in the playoffs). He&#039;s still big. Great hands. 

I may even take Holt or Harrison over Edwards for cheaper... And then draft a guy to step in.

I think Holt or Harrison can still perform at a good level for another year or two, just enough time for whomever they draft to step up (or find another WR next offseason).</description>

		<description>My choices:
1. Braylon Edwards
1A. Anquan Boldin/Holt
2. Crabtree
3. Darrius Heyward Bey &amp; Hakeem Nicks/Kenny Britt</description>

		<description>I think all of you you are under selling Braylon short. He had one really bad year, and still went over the 800 yrd mark. I think he would actually be the perfect solution to replacing Plax. He is tall, has great body control once the ball is in the air and I think he is faster than Plax. He is also a mild mannered guy who won&#039;t give you any Plax headaches. 

Crabtree would be great but he will be a top ten pick, so it will take a whole lot of trade picks to match the value of a top ten pick. Crabtree is by far the best receiver in the draft, but its going to difficult. Darius Heyward Bey would be awesome, but buyer beware, his hands are suspect. He might smell a bit like Reggie Williams rather then DeSean Jackson. 

Anquan would be great but brings a different skill set than what we are looking for. It should bring wins nonetheless. 

Reese should also look into Torry Holt who also brings a different mix of skill sets but is still verry productive.</description>

		<description>No Giant fan in their right mind would want TO any close to the Giants roster.

If you think that Shockey and Plax were distractions for the team ... TO would be the father of all HEADACHES and DISTRACTIONS to this team.

Giants need someone that goes into the game and fits into that TEAM first mentality.  Personally, I just would like to see this Plax thing work itself out.  Hopefully he really has learned his leason.  BUT, than again you never can tell with todays athaletes.</description>

		<description>I must say that there is a crazy level of Jet sympathizers in the press here in NYC.  Its unreal to me that a team that hasn’t won anything since 1969 and has a continuing LOSING tradition gets so much positive press in a city that only rewards CHAMPIONS like our NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS!

The press, including SNY, seems to not only show excessive Jet interviews, coverage and overwhelm everyone with all this Jet coverage but make Giant fans laugh at the fact that they really think that the Jets will SOON become winners!  This is insane.  Jet fans are so used to hoping, that they haven’t realized that they have been hoping their lives away and have been messuring a seasons sucess by not their teams victorys (being that they never win) but by OTHER TEAMS loses.  They seem to believe that if the Giants dont win the superbawl then the Jets have actually WON something! lol    That is JUST SAD.

Being at Giant fan in NY, we all hear the Giant bashing and Plaxico shot himself jokes, Giant fans really don’t care.  Being that the G Men are 3 time NFL champions and have done so in RECENT MEMORY!  Meaning I HAVE SEEN and been ALIVE for those victories.  Most Jet fans weren’t even born during the Namath era.  Plus, have you ever even looked at his career numbers, I can make a list of NFL qbs that aren’t hall of famers that would have blown him off the field statistically.  

I just wanted to post this statement just to see if my fellow Giant fans aggree.

GO GIANTS!  The DEFENSE looks MASSIVE for 2009.</description>

		<description>NO WAY T.O. gets close to Giants stadium unless he buys a ticket.

Braylon/Boldin would be nice but the cost is foreboding.

I would look to trade up to the front of the second round to get Kenny Britt. 

After we took Laurinaitis in the First round .</description>

		<description>1) JR won&#039;t sign T.O., I think this goes without saying. (I&#039;d have to reevaluate my fanhood of the NYG if I had to watch T.O. play for them...)

2) Braylon Edwards/Anquan Boldin are going to require too much money, draft picks, and potential players (I personally don&#039;t want to lose any of our D-line depth...why would JR build this D-line, only to trade Kiwi/Robbins/Cofield). 

3) The draft is the way to go. Package some picks (just picks JR!) together and try to grab Crabtree. I disagree with the notion that it&#039;s hard to find a 1st year starter in the draft (Eddie Royal/DeSean Jackson last draft, Calvin Johnson/Dwayne Bowe the year before) and, c&#039;mon, Crabtree could quite possibly be better than Plaxico ever was, in his first year. 

With the combination of little cap space, few needs (with the signings of Vickers and C.C. Brown yesterday, I&#039;d say (besides WR) the Giants need another OLB (SAM), CB/S (depending on whether or not Terrell Thomas makes the move to Safety), OL (preferably OT), and RB (just to challenge ware/for depth)), and a lot of draft picks (9 right now, some estimate 11 after the compensatory picks are announced), look for JR to make the move for Crabtree, hopefully, or one of the top-tier WR&#039;s in the draft and hope we can pair them with Plax.</description>

		<description>We should get Torry Holt, he can be cut by the Rams or get traded. With our connection with Spags can help us get the deal done if they don&#039;t cut him.</description>
