When I said FB and OL, I meant to add TE, of course... And Kevin Boss was the second guy the Giants wanted, behind Matt Spaeth, who went to the Steelers in the third round. Delaware's Ben Patrick was also on the board, but I guess he's not what they wanted.
Boss is a big kid, 6-6 1/2, 252, but the obvious question is whether he can handle the size of NFL players after playing Div. II ball. He better be a quick study because there isn't much else behind Jeremy Shockey right now.
So NOW we'll see FB and OL... Swear.

Well....interesting. why take this guy. he isnt a pure blocker, and has to learn, didnt play against top comp. and was hurt. i tought JR didnt want injury prone guys. well, i think this is worse than the alford pick, they could have taken crosby or something else. and gotten this kid later it took streach armstrong to pick this kid.
I don't think he'll be too bad, but certainly a reach.. there was talent on the board that we needed.
Boss was not reach since he was suppose to go somewhere in the 3rd-5th rounds. Why can't Giant fans be more informed? And Crobsy will never be a good NFL kicker. That would have been a waste. Hey, Sid. What other talent was there? If you are going to play pretend GM please at least give names.
Ben Patrick is on the small side and an average athlete. He was badly overrated. No wonder he dropped like a rock.
