Like most here, I am still in a state of euphoria over our team's SB victory. And just when we start coming down from our initial high we had the Draft 15 days ago. Last years crop was like nothing that I can remember since guys like Pepper Johnson, Mark Collins, Eric Dorsey and Erik Howard in 86. And that year we had 4 #2s. Contributions by the rookies were made by everyone with the exception of OT Koets. Leaving us with the promise of a bright future. Don't get me wrong, they still have to improve and stay healthy to qualify as one of the best drafts in the history of the franchise.
This year's harvest brings in a S, CB, WR, 2 LBs and a relatively unknown DE. Without getting to ahead of ourselves here, potentially Reese has solidfied the DB, infusing it with youth and athletic ability. Take into account Ross, Webster and Dockery(I must admit, I like this kid) you are talking about what could be a very good unit down the road.

TE PREVIEW
Below are my rankings, round projections and a few thoughts on a position that the Giants are seemingly set at headed into the draft.
1. Martellus Bennett (Texas A&M)
2. Dustin Keller (Purdue)
3. John Carlson (Notre Dame)
4. Fred Davis (USC)
5. Jermichael Finley (Texas)
6. Brad Cottam (Tennessee)
7. Kellen Davis (Michigan State)
8. Craig Stevens (California)
9. Gary Barnridge (Lousiville)
10. Martin Rucker (Missouri)
11. Jacob Tamme (Kentucky)
It’s not a high profile year for TE’s but there are several that look like they will develop into quality NFL starters (though some are limited as to which offensive scheme they will fit into). Listed above are those I believe are likely to get drafted. If, and it’s a big ‘if’, the Giants do draft someone they are more likely to wait until the later rounds.
The trio listed below look to be able to compete for starting spots immediately.

UK Giant's Draft Preview- Defense |

LB PREVIEW
With the Giants known to have been checking out many of the better LB’s during the lead up to the draft with LB’s Coach Bill Sheridan attending Pro Day’s far and wide, it is fair to assume that the team will draft at least one LB, though whether that is to fill an immediate need, as succession planning or just to be a back-up and ST’s player.
When it comes to the type of LB’s we’ll target, there really isn’t a profile for them in the Steve Spagnuolo system as we have yet to draft one! You can’t even look at the Eagles for a comparison as they had a wide mixture of player types when Spags was their LB Coach.
Those 10 players listed below are those that fit in a 4-3 defense and are most likely to go in the top 3 rounds. If we don’t draft one on Saturday, I’ll add to the list of options for the 3rd round onwards on Sunday morning.
1. Jerod Mayo (Tennessee)
2. Keith Rivers (USC)
3. Curtis Lofton (Oklahoma)
4. Dan Connor (Penn State)
5. Bryan Kehl (BYU)
6. Tavares Gooden (Miami, Fla)
7. Jordon Dizon (Colorado)
8. Xavier Adibi (Virginia Tech)
9. Ali Highsmith (LSU)
10. Erin Henderson (Maryland)
