Per ESPN: "The San Francisco 49ers agreed to a contract with former New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs on Wednesday, a league source said Wednesday." http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7746849/ex-new-york-giants-rb-brandon-jacobs-sign-san-francisco-49ers-source-says Well that just sucks. I was hoping to get him back. Good for him though going to a good team. I, personally, wish him the best because of all he did for us. I hope to never see him running over one of our players, but I do wish him the best.

Curious as to what fellow Giants fans think...

Which would be the best running back for the Giants (weighing in draft value too)???

Mock Draft- Round 1

I posted this over at Mocking the Draft and thought my fellow Giants fans may like to see and critique too!

This mock has many trades, but not many explanations. Reason is that I did not want to guess at what picks/players certain teams would trade to move up. I simply thought that given the opportunity certain teams would jump and give what it takes to get the certain player I have them trading for. If it doesn’t make sense leave a comment and I’ll try and rationalize it. Thanks!

 

1.    Rams – Sam Bradford

 

2.    Lions – Ndamakung Suh

 

3.    Buccaneers – Gerald McCoy

 

4.    Redskins – Trent Williams    

(heard they are interested in Trent over Okung)

 

Chiefs TRADE pick to Bills;

5.    Bills select (from Chiefs)- Russell Okung    

(w/Okung on the board still, and the Chiefs wanting to trade down it happens)

 

6.    Seahawks - CJ Spiller

 

Browns TRADE pick to 49ers (#13);

7.    49ers pick (from Browns) - Jimmy Clausen

 

Raiders TRADE pick to Eagles;

8.    Eagles select (from Raiders)- Eric Berry

 

9.    Chiefs (from Bills) – Dan Williams

 

10.    Jaguars – Derrick Morgan

 

Broncos TRADE pick to Packers;

11.    Packers pick (from Denver)- Bryan Bulaga

(heard the Packers were looking to move up in the draft and I fully expect Denver to move back and pick Pouncey)

 

12.    Dolphins – Jason Pierre-Paul

 (Parcells is looking for the next Demarcus Ware, and not counting on Jason Taylor)

 

13.    Browns (Traded from 49ers)- Earl Thomas

 

14.    Seahawks – Taylor Mays

 

15.    Giants – Rolando McClain    (I would be soooo happy...)

 

Titans TRADE pick to Cowboys;

16.    Cowboys pick (from Titans) – Dez Bryant

(Would not be surprised. Jerry Jones likes his offensive playmakers)

 

17.    49ers – Anthony Davis

 

18.    Steelers – Joe Haden

 

19.    Falcons – Sean Weatherspoon

 

20.    Texans – Kyle Wilson

 

21.    Bengals – Mike Iupati

 

22.    Patriots – Jermaine Gresham

 

23.    Denver (from Packers)- Maurkice Pouncey

 

24.    Raiders (from Eagles) – Tim Tebow

(My one pick that no one has thought of... but seriously think about it. It's Al Davis so it is possible. Tebow and McFadden in the wildcat. Tebow has a great pass catching TE in Miller. Reunites Tebow with Louis Murphy. And Raiders finally get a QB who really has a passion to play and win. Not saying I think he'll be a good QB, just saying it's Al Davis. So who really knows??)

 

25.    Ravens – Devin McCourty

 

26.    Cardinals – Charles Brown

(I expect them to try and set the 0-line up for Beanie Wells. Later in the draft they can address the defensive needs)

 

27.    Titans (from Cowboys)- Carlos Dunlap

 

28.    Chargers – Terrence Cody

 

Jets TRADE pick to Browns (2nd round + more);

29.    Browns pick- Colt McCoy

 (We've all heard the rumors. I think they move here to get ahead of Vikings just in case...)

 

30.    Vikings – Brian Price

 

31.    Colts – Brandon Graham

 

32.    Saints – Sergio Kindle
