Grant had an excellent preseason (18 rushes for 90 yards and a touchdown), but the Giants didn't have room on the roster for him with Brandon Jacobs,

Who's Ryan Grant ? Have a url link ?

was trying to beat everyone with the post

I know how good that feels to beat everyone to the punch. Congrats, you deserve this, man.

Well, Wynn just missed the roster and it's not looking great for White or Miree...'

I don't know the player, yet somehow this makes me feel better about the running game. Probably just the kool-aid.

Thompson just gave up a draft choice.


Did you feel the earth shake? That's the first earthquake in GB since.... :P

[RashanGary]

Probably had something to do with Herron going down with the knee. I hate to give up draft picks becuase of the John Jolly, Mason Crosby types but this guy might have a chance. Hopefully he's better than Herron.

Maybe it is White that just lost his job!

If nothing else MM can interrogate him about our Week2 opponent.

I was just about to make an "earth shake" reference mesself, RG.

This guy must be superman reincarnated.

It's amazing TT didn't have his eye on another back that would be a "freebie".

The guy we traded for must be superman or else TT is desperate.

Alternatively, Thompson knows that however many sixth or seventh round picks he has at the beginning of the draft, he'll almost certainly have more by the end of the draft, and at the same time he figures this guy is probably better than whatever sixth or seventh round gem he's liable to take a chance on in the future. The success rate on those guys is fairly low after all.

I doubt it was desperation. He tried to give up Rayner but the Giants wouldnt bite. My guess is the draft pick was a 6th or 7th. The way TT trades down, we'll have plenty of other picks in those rounds.

You read my mind.
