The New York Giants - not only did they get a potential star QB in Eli manning, Tom Caughlin killed two birds with one stone with his second pick (34th overall) early in the second round by selecting Cris Snee. Snee and coach Tom Coughlin's daughter had a child last fall, the team disclosed hours after picking the Boston College guard. Snee and Katie Coughlin are not married, but together they are raising the boy named Dylan.
Coughlin issued a statement Saturday, maintaining that the Giants drafted Snee solely on his ability. "There are two separate issues. Of primary concern today is that, by his own right, Chris is a very good football player and has proven that," Tom Coughlin said. "That he was selected at the top of the second round is a tribute to his ability. In their evaluation, our scouts, our director of player personnel, and the coach who graded him, Chris was the No. 1 guard on our board."
