Survivor I - New York Giants Commentary

NOTE: this draft was completed on 7/24

Positives - Michael Strahan should be fully recovered from injury that cost him 8 games last year. Signed promising MLB Antonio Pierce away from Washington in offseason. LBs Barrett Green & Nick Greisen missed great deal of time in 2004 due to injury and are recovered. Each of the Giants kickoff returners brought back a kick for a TD last year. DC Tim Lewis preaches an attacking style that should force many turnovers.

Negatives - Despite Strahan’s expected return to health, it will be questioned how much he has left in the tank. 2003 first round pick William Joseph continues to disappoint. The starting cornerbacks only have 13 interceptions over the past 4 years.

Draft Strategy - Basically looking for a defense that didn’t share a bye week with the Eagles. If healthy the Giants have the potential to move into the 15-20 range of fantasy defenses. At the very least Michael Strahan should have a good couple games dropping Drew Bledsoe.
