I'd still draft a safety if we got Wilson, but draft a SS.

Colbert's all right as a slot option. That suggests to me that Stokley's being given the de-facto #2 role, and I don't know that he can hold up there all season.
We'll see. I'm still hoping for a WR in the draft so that we have somebody waiting in the wings when either Colbert or Stokley breaks down, but on its own merits Colbert can be a good receiver when healthy and he doesn't break the bank. I'm not jumping for joy but I don't hate it either.
It's a piece. We'll need several others before May, but it's a start.

Never heard of Kerry Colbert so I can't really say anything but wait and see.
no way stokely's being given #2. mikey said that they needed to keep his reps to a minimum to maintain his effectiveness and health as he really wore down at the end of last season. i would be that we will draft another receiver, in what round i have no idea... i'd say as high as 1, as low as 7th :lol:

As I mentioned earlier... I think the fact that the Broncos signed Colbert, and hosted a Safety in Knight means that they will not be targeting those positions in the 1st 2 rounds.
Obviously I've been wrong before, but I think they're trying to shore up WR and Safety via free agency so they can target a DT, LB or OT in rounds #1 and #2.
I dont think its the slot Colbert is being eyed for. I honestly think the kid can come into our offense and contribute.
He aint gonna be the same as he was in Carolina, thats for sure.
what about safety though?
Probably won't be Sammy Knight.:beer:

GIANTS FINALLY DO SOMETHING
The defending Super Bowl champions already have lost three players to free agency. And despite having a glut of cap space they've signed none.
But now they're getting involved in the process. By bringing in for a visit . . . safety Sammy Knight. According to Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger, Knight visited the Broncos, left without a contract, and will head to New York.
Knight has played for the Saints, Dolphins, Chiefs, and Jaguars, starting 15 games during the 2007 season in Jacksonville. He'd replace Gibril Wilson at a much cheaper price than the Raiders paid for Wilson.
Good pickup...Glad we're making some moves now.
