We talked a lot about the Jets draft earlier.

0:02.3

I wanted to go back and talk about the Giants a little bit more,

0:06.2

as of course they had many top picks.

0:09.3

And we talked about the first rounders, obviously,

0:13.4

on, you know, after we came in on Thursday.

0:16.3

But they seemed to love this corner who I didn't know much about, obviously,
