According to a report from Scout.com, the New York Giants have made an offer to the Chicago Bears for linebacker Lance Briggs. The report also states that the offer would be for the Giants number one draft pick; 20th overall. It went on to add that they would need to sweeten the deal a bit for a move to actually happen.
For weeks it seemed like the Giants were out of the running for Briggs, but as the draft approaches they find themselves back in the mix. A lot of people are against the Giants making any sort of trade but Briggs is a legitimate and proven NFL veteran; something New York could not get in round one.
I think that it would be a good trade pending any additions. A one and two would be overkill, but a one and four or five would be ideal. It would also give the Giants a great linebacking corp, Lance Briggs, Antonio Pierce and Kawika Mitchell.
