I love how everyone is down on shock great fans you are. How fast you are to forget what he has done for us. He gets hurt the Giants make an out of this world run to a superbowl victory and every forgets who this guy is. And Kevin Boss is no starter Im sorry he is a great number 2 TE. The Giants now have no TE that can block. Shock does it all and he will be traded for a bunch of nothing. When its week 5 and the Giants cant spread the field and score in the redzone this will be the reason why. This trade sucks for so many reasons.

Okay I’ve held back from doing a mock draft but now that its officially friday here’s my take on things.

2007 Mock Draft

1RD (31)- Kenny Phillips S Miami (FL)
2RD (63)- Tavares Gooden LB Miami (FL)
3RD (95)- Eddie Royal WR Virginia Tech
4RD (130)- Red Bryant DT Texas A&M
5RD (165)- Trae Williams CB South Florida
6RD (194)- Larry Grant LB Ohio St.
6RD (198)- Corey Clark OT Texas A&M

Peter King reported today on SNY that the Giants asked the Saints for Harper and a 2nd round pick.

Regarding the issue of whether the Saints offered the Giants a 2nd rounder and Harper and were turned down by the Giants, or whether the Giants made that offer to the Saints:

Garafolo said the Giants turned it down.
Michael Smith and profootballtalk.com said the Giants made the offer.

jgold, that is a total fabrication. Reese has made it very clear that the Saints made the offer; not the Giants. Reese entertained the offer, but shortly after that is when he came out public to say, “shockey is our starting tight end [...]”

No offense, but profootballtalk.com is not a credible source. No way, no how. My sources, FYI: R.Vachianno, A.Staple, M.Garafolo and … hmm … I’m forgetting someone here.

Oh yea, LoHud’s own – Ernie Palladino (even more so when he replies).

Anyway, back to basics. Saints want to trade up, so their first is out. So we’re left with about four other teams with interest – Falcons, Seahawks, Dolphins and (i’m missing one – forgot). It’s going to depend on who wants him more.

As far as Roman Harper is concerned – not gonna’ happen.

I would be shocked (no pun intended) if the Giants used their first-round pick on a tight end. Obviously, there is zero percent chance of this happening if Shockey is still on the team, but I’d still find it incredibly surprising even if he’s dealt.

Unless an offensive tackle is staring them in the face at 31, I expect the Giants to draft a defensive player in the first round.

I just got the new issue from Sports Illustrated. Thay had their mock draft pridictions for 08’. They predict the g-men to select Dustin Keller——TE from Purdue.

Whatever we can get for Shockey, take it. He’s a broken-down windbag who is more trouble than he’s worth. Oh, and we won a Super Bowl without him. Dump the bum!

I’m not plugged in by Ernie, but I’ve been reading and listening to absolutely everything. My understanding, specifically based on reports from Michael Smith and profootballtalk.com is that the Giants asked for Harper and a 2nd rounder, but were rejected.

Smith said earlier this week on NFL Live that the more likely deal would be something like Harper and a late-round pick, possibly a sixth.
