According to Tom Rock of Newsday the Giants could possibly receive a 2009 1st-round pick from the New Orleans Saints IF Jonathan Vilma, who the Saints acquired from the NY Jets, plays 85% of the defensive plays in 2008 and is signed to a contract extension. This scenario would give the Jets New Orleans’ 2009 2nd-rounder - a pick already traded to the Giants for TE Jeremy Shockey - and turn the 2nd and 5th-round picks the Saints traded to the Giants for Shockey into a single 1st-round selection.

The long awaited trade of New York Giants TE Jeremy Shockey to the New Orleans Saints finally went down this afternoon. In return for the man who many feel kept Eli Manning from being all he could be was sent to the Big Easy in exchange for a 2nd and 5th round pick in 2009.
