Giants targeting Miami safety

One well-connected player agent recently spoke with three teams heading into this weekend's NFL Draft. All three compiled a mock draft to get a better feel for who might go where and all three had the Giants with the 31st overall pick taking Miami safety Kenny Phillips. Intrigued, the agent fished around a little more, as these teams might have merely been going with the rote formula that the Giants lost a safety (Gibril Wilson) in free agency and, despite signing veteran Sammy Knight, need to add another one. The scent remained strong. "I heard Kenny Phillips is the guy they're targeting," the agent said.

Well I hope the Giants take him for no other reason than to keep the U streak of 1st round picks going.

Wow. Hurricanes and then the Giants? Guy better have discipline and talent.

If they go for him, then the trade with the Saints for Harper is not going to happen. So that means Shockey stays?

April 22, 2008  09:02 AM ET

SHOCKEY IS NOT LEAVING, do people not understand that when a team turns another teams trade offer down, its not happening. Shockey will be a giant,

They will have a good pic at safety or cornerback at that spot...Some say Johnson is a better safety. There ae no outstanding safeties in this draft, but there are three or four good ones, and at 31st pic you do not have to over pay...

I am a little bit surprised that this kid is predicted to go so late. He had a great freshman and sophmore season, then a so, so junior season. Still think he will go higher.

GiantRedSox, I hope you're right and Shockey stays and they use him like they should. But they could be trying to get more from the Saints for him. Or this could all be speculation. We won't know for sure until the draft.

I think Shockey will be better this year with a more confident Eli. And I think Eli wants him to say (because he knows how good he is). But they've got to use him better.

April 22, 2008  09:45 AM ET

yeah, i think he'll stay. Reese said he wants him back

April 22, 2008  09:54 AM ET

this guy is ok but hes definatlely not and ed reed or sean taylor ( R.I.P.) i think he lacks in instincts

April 22, 2008  09:57 AM ET

April 22, 2008  09:58 AM ET

pimpy....we gettin into this again today??? lol

April 22, 2008  10:00 AM ET

im not an eli fan by no means,but i give him credit.he was the QB for the biggest upset in SB history.i hate every team from NY though..they come down here to south fla and make are home games feel like away games

April 22, 2008  10:21 AM ET

Eli did good in the SB, but let's face it, the defense won the game. They kept the game close and then Eli and the Giants got damn lucky in the last drive.

April 22, 2008  10:35 AM ET

Never heard of this guy. Hope he's good and good at staying out of trouble.

April 22, 2008  10:45 AM ET

It makes sense but I am not sure he will be there at number 31.

April 22, 2008  10:46 AM ET

pimpy...u will never hear me bash brady...i said not to long ago i thought he dominated almost as much as michael jordan did..i take brady at QB over anybody else,hands down,including peyton.
