Hall for the 31st pick? 

Post#1 » by VinnyTheMick » Fri Feb 22, 2008 4:20 pm

With their top two free-agent targets wearing pricey franchise tags, the Giants are trying another route toward getting a top cornerback: A trade with the Falcons for two-time Pro Bowl cornerback DeAngelo Hall.

According to two people with knowledge of discussions between the teams, the Giants are willing to give Atlanta their first-round pick (31st overall) in April's draft in exchange for Hall. The people requested anonymity because of the private nature of the trade talks.

It said the Giants are willing to give that up, not that the Falcons are willing to take that. That's a bad trade for Atlanta, but Hall has a few screws loose and flip-flops on whether or not he wants to be apart of this team.

I was hoping for a higher pick, but its better than nothing I guess.

While we do need to trade Hall (he will leave via fa this next offseason unless we tag him), we need to get more than just the 31st pick for him. He was the 8th overall pick in 2004, so it isn't like he is old. 31 is a start, but they need to add more picks.

How about miami offers 1st overall-31 overall for 3 overall and D.Hall? Seems Fair for both sides.
