New York Giants Draft Picks
Apr 27, 2008 at 06:05 PM
Here are the New York Giants Draft Picks

Round 1
, Pick 31 (31)
     Kenny Phillips         FS         6'2"         208         Miami                 Pick Analysis:After losing Gibril Wilson to the Raiders in free agency, the Giants make a need pick in Kenny Phillips. Of all the safeties in the draft, Phillips probably is the closest to the current NFL prototype, which is a guy as capable against the run as he is in coverage. Phillips has enough athleticism to do a good job against tight ends and slot receivers, but is still big and physical enough to be a force in run defense.
Round 2, Pick 32 (63)
        Terrell Thomas         CB         6'1"         198         Southern Cal                 Pick Analysis:Thomas is a versatile corner that may even be able to play safety if the Giants feel the need. With Gibril Wilson gone and Kenny Phillips taken in the first round, the Giants addressed the secondary again. Thomas has long arms and good tackling skills, making him an intriguing prospect in the Giants' pressure-filled
 
Round 3, Pick 32 (95)
    Mario Manningham         WR         6'0"         181         Michigan      Pick Analysis:Manningham was very productive in college and is a talented player that had a much higher grade before a poor showing at the combine. The Giants will try and get him focused and could have found a talent late in the draft.
Round 4, Pick 24 (123) (From Steelers)
   Bryan Kehl         OLB         6'2"         242         BYU    Pick Analysis:Kehl played as a freshman and went on to become a four-year starter at BYU. He is a playmaking linebacker with great speed and productivity. He is versatile and can play inside or outside and on special teams.

     Round 5, Pick 30 (165)
Jonathan Goff         LB         6'2"         245         Vanderbilt                 Pick Analysis:Goff got better every season during his four years in college. He's a solid leader, having been a team captain for two years. He struggles to disengage from blockers, quickly recognize keys and diagnose plays.
 
Round 6, Pick 32 (198)
Andre' Woodson         QB         6'5"         224         Kentucky                 Pick Analysis:Woodson came into the Senior Bowl with great expectations but took a major nose-dive with a poor performance. His combine was also not especially outstanding and his draft stock really suffered. He has a long delivery and there are questions about his throwing motion. He was very productive in college, however, and has talent.

Round 6, Pick 33 (199) (Compensatory selection)
Robert Henderson         DE         6'3"         283         Southern Miss                 Pick Analysis:Henderson is a defensive end with decent size and speed. He is a good pass rusher and dominated his conference. He must show he can jump to the pro level.
