Third round pick WR  Ramses Barden signed  a 4 year 2.48 million dollar contract, including a 731,000 signing bonus.

Barden is a project and he looked it at OTA’S, struggling to get off the blocks and shake the younger corners. The best scenario is that Barden becomes apart of the goal line unit, but as the Brandon London’s and James Hardy’s of the NFL continue to prove, height isn’t everything (and certainly not Plax’s only attribute). Barden may develop into a standout receiver but it is highly unlikey to happen this year.

Fourth round pick RB Andre Brown  signed a four-year, $2.2 million contract. PFT reports the signing bonus as $433,000.

Brown will compete with Danny Ware for the third running back spot. Brown’s deal includes many incentives which he requested. Clearly Brown is confident in his own abilities and is very hungry, not in the Ron Dayne kind of way (ha a fat man joke). Brown was held back at NC State due to injuries, so if he can stay healthy the Giants may have found yet another stud at RB in the later rounds. Brown and Nicks are my favorite picks of this draft, as if you cared….care people, care.

Fifth round pick QB Rhett Bomar  singed a four-year contract, including a $185,183 signing bonus.

Bomar will compete with Andre Woodsoon for the 3rd QB spot. Bomar has excellent QB ‘tools,” but lacks Woodson’s accuracy. Still, Woodson had trouble taking snaps in the 4th quarter of a pre-season game, so I think the edge goes to Bomar. The winner will wind up the emergency QB and the loser will go to the practice squad.
