Felix - One of my favorite players in a long time. Definitely my favorite offensive player in a very long time. And to think that the Giants haven't even seen him yet.
Bennett - One of those potentially huge weapons that none of the pundits talk or even know about. Almost uncoverable.
Igor - Got to love the no-BS former USSR strongman. The media worship of Superstar Chris Canty makes me root for him even harder.
Brandon Williams - My gut thinks he could be way better than people expect. Wade was campaigning for him on draft day, and Ratliff said in a Grizz interview that Williams already stands out and could be great.
Victor Butler - One of the best attitudes I've ever seen. Smart, respectful, super hard working... Seems to be just a great guy. Some people don't care about that stuff, but I do.
Junior Siavii - What a bonus it would be if he could be our solid backup NT and short yardage guy. Everyone wants a huge NT, well, here he is. Maybe he can finally put his physical talent to good use.
Honorable mention to Spencer (though I have never had doubts about him like some people), Hodge (almost easy to forget about him since he's been hurt), Manny Johnson, and Jason Williams. As a whole, pretty much all our rookies... This is my favorite draft class in a long time because they all seem like such great guys and hard workers.

Miles Austin - I think he will suprise some people. I don't think he'll collect more than 30-35 receptions, but I think he will have a high YPC.
Roy Williams - I firmly believe that at years end, he will have established himself just below Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson as the best in the game.
Martellius Bennet - That touchdown against Chris Horton really sticks in my head. I think he can be a good one.
DeMarcus Ware - I'll be rooting for 23 sacks.

Eeyore, the old grey Donkey, stood by the side of the stream, and looked at himself in the water.
"Pathetic," he said. "That's what it is. Pathetic."
He turned and walked slowly down the stream for twenty yards, splashed across it, and walked slowly back on the other side. Then he looked at himself in the water again.
"As I thought," he said. "No better from this side. But nobody minds. Nobody cares. Pathetic, that's what it is."
Back to topic...Felix Jones.

Felix Jones - I legitimately believe he's going to end up the best back in this group. A Brian Westbrook who has other good backs around him? Wow.
Spencer -- he played well last year. anyone who watched would have seen that. He'll shut folks up with some fantasy stats this year
Jenkins - when we drafted him we knew he needed work to get up to speed in our D. he's got wicked talent and regardless of whether or not he starts, he's going to have a huge role.
Romo - To me, this is a make or break year for Tony and I think he'll respond well - the changes he needs to make are relatively minor but can lead to ungodly numbers.
Beuhler - Yes. I am excited about kickoffs going deeper than the 10 yard line.

Man I couldn't agree more. This team is young and talented but what I really like, is this years attitude. Its been all about football this offseason. Mentally, from the coaching staff on down to the players, we're on the right track. That's why I'm so excited about this season....

I think the Giants realize how dangerous he is though. I honestly think Felix is a big reason the Giants wanted Michael Boley from Atlanta in free agency. They needed a really fast LB to combat the quickness Felix brings to the table.
And Felix is going to be on this list for a lot of posters... including myself. The guy is pure excitement on the field. It isn't just his incredible quickness and speed either. The guy has terrific football instincts and outstanding vision. If he stays healthy... look out.

Yeah, Phillips knows his pass rushers - if he's excited about B Williams, then so am I.

I do too.
I'm also excited about J Williams and S Hodge. The speed they will bring to the table is something this team has sorely missed... and I'm not talking about special teams either.

For me:

- Roy Williams - he will bring it. I have little doubt.
- Martellus Bennett - the guy can be a real playmaker.
- Felix Jones - he is a lightning rod, in a good way
- Austin - Its time. Just run away from everyone and get separation - catch it baby
- Crayton - Just shut up and catch from the slot. He can be reliable if he allows himself
- Jenkins - just hopeful and other the DB too?

I am down with those picks but would add:
Kyle Kosier - We desperately needed him last season.
Keith Brooking - He will be solid in the middle, particularly against the run (we wouldn't have given up those two long runs by the Ravens with him there) and he will provide leadership on defense.
That's it for me.
