There's the rub. Obviously, Tom Brady is unquestionably the man to answer to on the Patriots offense. You screw up a blocking assignment in San Diego, you gotta answer to LT. Successful NFL offenses have an individual that holds everyone else accountable for their actions. If you were to ask me who the leader was on the Giants' offense at the beginning of the season, I wouldn't have an answer for you. But one thing I learned this past season, despite it being sub-par, is that if you **** up on running a route, or miss a block, get ready for Brees to get up in your grill.
That being said, Shockey running around in a black and gold uniform conjure images of trophies, and beer flowing from fountains, bikini clad brazilian bombshells, fanning me with palm branches and feeding me ice cream sandwichs... and puppies....

this is a really bad idea.

Draft one. Save the trades for qualified defensive starters.

A first or second round pick? Are they nuts??!!

Where can I find complaining icons to add to this post?

I agree that the 1st round pick is too high, but here's my philosophy on trading a player for a pick:

If you can get a young, proven commodity like Jeremy Shockey, then you should absolutely do it. The guy is a gamebreaker and would bring something to this team that we haven't had in a long, long time. In fact, I bet you could argue that he'd be the best TE to ever suit up in the black and gold. He's young, which means he still has his best years in front of him, and you know what you're getting. Trade him for a second or third round pick makes complete sense to me. Let's look at a few of the second round picks that we've made in the last few years: Roman Harper, Josh Bullocks, Devery Henderson. Now I of course don't believe that just because we have sucked at drafting second round picks in the past, that we are going to do that this year, but my point is that we thought we were going to be getting some good players in the second round, and honestly, they all blow. I'd take Shockey in a heart beat for the second round pick.

I would offer them the third rd pick and if they dont take it.........move on

I definitely wouldn't trade him for our 1st round pick... that would be pretty stupid. Our second, probably not either as we draft pretty high in the second round. For our third than definitely... that's good value for a Pro Bowl tight end.

if anything happens, it wont happen until around the draft. on the plus side, we got vilma for a pick next year, so another trade is a possibilty.
