this actually reminds me of the 2007 Giants team that won the superbowl. can't remember all the rookies but they had a great draft that year and media kept talking about how something like 6 of their rookies were contributing in big ways.

Chris Culliver = solid 3 round pick.

I think he could be a starter in a few years.

Nice stat. I love me some Cully. Ever since his days in college. Even if Gore.

However, in his games with the Niners, I see he is reluctant to smash down on the run plays to his side. The exact opposite of what Clements used to do. He is a good tackler in his form, but he waits on the back to get to him, which allows for more yards.

I prefer his skills any day over Clements just for the record, and that's saying we got a special player in Cully

we really did a great job drafting this year. aldon, kendall, and cully are all solid players.

right, he has been beat several times this year, but he was in great position and the QB mde the perfect throw, reciever made a great catch. basically just undefendable. but he was there and made the best play he could.

if they can keep rogers, goldson, and possibly spencer the niners have a very deep DBackfield and except rogers they are young. then bowman, willis, aldon, and ray mc are locked up for a while justin smith should have another 3+ good years.

Ross has generally been a bust for the Giants. Not a great pick for where he was taken.

I hope Crabtree just bosses him up and stiff arms that scrub to the ground on the way to a TD run.
