Giants
Draft
The Giants
selected RB Ron Dayne
of Wisconsin for their first pick.
Dayne, the Heisman Trophy winner last year, is the tough power back the
Giants wanted, and he should be an impact player in his first year.
Next they were lucky enough to find DL Cornelius
Griffin from Alabama still available.
Griffin is a power pass rusher who can beat his man with an explosive
initial step.
The third pick was WR Ronald
Dixon from Lambuth, who is known mostly for his speed. He was a surprising
third round pick, but the Giants want his speed for returning punts, and
kickoffs.
The fourth
pick was LB Brandon
Short from Penn State. He's a physical player who's very productive
and has a nose for the ball.
They next
selected CB Ralph
Brown for their fifth pick. He's from Nebraska, and is known to be
a very aggressive tackler who constantly fights off blocks.
The sixth
round pick was used on Michigan LB Dhani
Jones. He's a great athlete with good football instincts.
The
seventh and last pick was Jeremiah
Parker, a DE from California. He has good quickness
and excels in rushing the passer.
