That sucks. Now they have more picks. Eh.

Chalk up another bust for the Bengals.

He couldn't stay healthy with them. That said, I think this was a steal for the Giants and he will contribute next year. I think there is a good chance he could earn a starting spot.

Yep. They got the 167th pick in the '12 draft, for the 9th pick in the '08 draft - just at the time when a first round pick should be entering his prime and becoming an impact player.

Great trade for G men

Seems fair up front given what Rivers has been so far. We'll have to see what the Bengals do with that 5th round pick and how Rivers comes along in NY to know who won this.

There's not going to be anyone available in the 5th round with more talent than Rivers. It's a completely stupid trade from a completely stupid organisation.

[/quote]That will probably draft someone like Burfict with one of their 2 first round picks.

That would be funny, watch him play well and stay healthy and help lead the Giants back to the playoffs lol.

Well I don't know, they'll probably follow the same draft strategy as last year and draft who the caption on the TV lists as the best remaining player. It actually worked pretty good for them.
