DMD Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 The Giants have Tiki Barber who was electric last year to be sure, but the concensus was that he was likely being used too heavily (his 400 passes/rushes were bettered only by three players - Curtis Martin, Tomlinson and Portis). Tiki only weighs around 200 pounds and less than that depending on who you ask and where you look. He weighs the same as Westbrook and if Quentin Griffin just had a Big Mac, then Barber may be lighter than any NFL starting back other than Warrick Dunn (180). So- the G Men use the NFL draft to get a back-up for Barber (since Dayne was sent packing) and who do they get? Brandon Jacobs. A player that is the tallest RB (6'04") and the heaviest (256). He needs a nickname since he is as big (or bigger) than the Bus. I just found it interesting that they were wildly successful with Barber and yet selected a RB that is perhaps the most different than Tiki in the entire NFL. You won't have to look at jersey numbers to see which back is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Brandon Jacobs. 843911[/snapback] He should go about 1.05 in TD only dynasty leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the mocks Ive seen, Tiki hasnt been in the 1st roud yet. To me, he deserves 1st round consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh 0ne Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 The even more interesting thing is the lack of success they had with their last first round RB pick, fatass Ron Dayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmypg Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I got Tiki at 2.05 in our 12 first year both league dynasty draft. With 1 point per reception I was thrilled that he fell to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
