Giants sign first draft pick, three more to go...

This is an aspect of the NFL that I find truly distasteful. When a young kid drafted by a team gets pulled aside by a smooth-talking agent whose "negotiations" - designed primarily to line the agent's pockets - often keep the kid from reporting to training camp on time.

The good news is that since the NY Giants had only four picks this year (having traded away the 1st rounder to get Eli Manning - which WAS worth it), there will be fewer stragglers. 4th Rounder, HB Brandon Jacobs has signed with CB Corey Webster (2nd round), DE Justin Tuck (3rd round) and DE Eric Moore (6th round) still working it out with Giants management. For all the latest news, the best site to follow is Big Blue Interactive.

Camp starts Friday and dammit I want them all there. No BS! Get your pads on and your heads down and get to work. The team has a lot of reasons to be optimistic this season. It would be great if we could start off of the right fitting with a complete roster.
