The Question becomes what to do if the Giants pick comes after those players are no longer available, but there is a player there that may not address a critical need but is high on the boards? If there is such a thing. Do you take a DE like Andre Branch? He could help considering the uncertainty of  Osi’s situation. Maybe Harrison Smith or Janoris Jenkins is still available, can you ever have too many DB’s? WR’s A.J. Jenkins, Chris Givens or a player I really love Mohamed Sanu could all very well be available.  Do you stick to get what we need? I personally feel you go with best available player. Like I said. You can never have too much talent. Whatever they decide it should be an exciting rounds 2 and 3. I look forward to seeing where they go.

Unfortunately there seems to be a bit of a downside that makes him a bit like the last 1st round RB the Giants seleted, Ron Dayne. Wilson is an indecisive runner and hesitates at the line when there is not a clear hole and starts running east and west. That is never a good thing in the NFL. He could be a help in the return game with his speed and tackle breaking ability and has had a 92 yd return, but I’m sure sure that makes him 1st round talent.

The Giants did have some bigger concerns than RB that could have been addressed. With players like TE Coby Fleener and O linemen like Konz, Glenn, Martin and Adams all available I wonder if this pick could have been used to address those needs considering last years starting  TE will not be ready by seasons open. And the O line did struggle at times last year, especially with Baas at center.

So was Wilson the right pick? Time will tell, we all hope so and will all be watching.
