A few days ago, G101's own Kyle Langan released his mock draft of the top 20 picks. Today, we take a look around the web and see what others are predicting for our beloved Big Blue. Keep in mind, mock drafts are rarely good for much other than spotting some riser...

As a part of a mock draft series on Giants 101, I decided to take a new idea to the approach of a mock draft.  Rather than sit and postulate about who each and every team will select, I assigned teams to other bloggers and avid NFL fans and let them...

March 27th, 2011 at 1:29 PM
It's the age old debate when it comes to the NFL draft - positional need versus drafting the best player available at your selection. If you ask some of the top GM's around the National Football League the question, they'll tell you it's a combination of both. As toward leaning...

March 11th, 2011 at 4:15 PM
Just prior to the combine, I unearthed the first of many mock drafts that Giants 101 will produce this off-season.  With the combine in the past and draft analysis in full effect, it is time to re- adjust the focus once again.  New York Giants Mario Manningham, Will Beatty, Brandon Jacobs, Eli...

February 18th, 2011 at 7:32 AM
Other than the combine (which begins next week), the only event scheduled on the NFL calender at the moment is the draft. Lockout or no lockout, draft season is one of the most fun times of the year for any NFL fan, and that wont change this year. From the second the...

NFL Draft Provides NFLPA an Opportunity to Make a Statement
February 15th, 2011 at 8:40 AM
As the final days of the 2010 league year dwindle down, the possibility of a new CBA coming to fruition prior to the start of the 2011 league year on March 4th seems like nothing more than wishful thinking. As recently as last week, negotiating sessions between the owners and NFLPA...

The 3-2 New York Giants are riding a two game winning streak this going into this weekend when they take on the 1-4 but greatly improved Detroit Lions at home. Can the Giants keep up the intensity and beat another inferior opponent to improve to 4-2? Here are the keys...

September 10th, 2010 at 9:26 AM
The New York Giants open their season on Sunday at 1pm @ home against the Carolina Panthers. Usually I post a few keys to the game for the Giants, and state that if the Giants do these key things well they should win the game. Not this week. This week...

Photos from New York Giants Training Camp
August 7th, 2010 at 6:36 PM
As you read earlier today, I was live and in person at training camp sitting amongst the fans (no, I didn't see Krow this time). I managed to snap off a handful of pictures in between texts to Simon and figured I'd share them with you. Before I do however, Justin...

Just How Important is Hakeem Nicks Going To Be?
August 5th, 2010 at 10:21 AM
Another Hakeem Nicks headline? After Tuesday's injury scare, I'm sure we'd all love to just not think about Hakeem The Dream for a couple days while he rests up safely on the sideline. But now that we are breathing and sleeping again on the heels of the good news that...

Will Ramses Barden See the Field in 2010?
June 14th, 2010 at 4:42 PM
Since the Giants drafted him in the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft out of Cal Poly, there have often been reports of amazing catches being made routinely by Ramses Barden on the practice field. The 6'6 227lb receiver has an imposing combination of size and speed, and could...

Fewell to a Giant DL Fire (and Domino’s winner!)
June 8th, 2010 at 7:10 PM
In 2007, the pride and joy of the New York Giants was a fear-inspiring defensive line orchestrated by Defensive Coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo. A near-instantly embraced coach by players and fans, Spags took a group of highly talented individual players and turned them into a unified QB-blasting force of nature. This...

Giants OTA News and Notes
June 7th, 2010 at 3:53 PM
The post-draft depression has finally started to lift slightly, with some semblance of "news" but mostly "notes" trickling out of Giants Organized Team Activities. This week's preparations are like a tiny-camp before next week's mini-camp (which, of course, precedes actual "training" camp in the summer). Nothing much to get too excited...

For Mitch Petrus and Phillip Dillard, It’s All About Attitude
April 26th, 2010 at 2:22 PM
When 2009 drew to a close, any acute observer of The New York Giants found themselves questioning the team’s attitude. Apparently, the powers that be within The Giant organization found themselves questioning that as well.
