Tackles

The talent available
There is a clear top 3 talent available this year, another in my top 10 overall (who I like at LT but not at RT), on in my top 15, two in the top 31, one top 40 and then a handful between my top 75 and top 100. This year in particular I think teams will have totally different grades on everyone but the top guy based on whether their needs are at LT or RT and what scheme they run Last year I argued on Twitter with NFL.com

Wide Receivers

The talent available
No one is going to confuse this WR draft class with that of 2014 in terms of the number of top end prospects or overall depth. However, that doesn

Defensive Ends

What do I think the Giants should do?
In Vernon and Pierre-Paul the Giants have their starters for 2016 but it should be recognized that JPP is only on a one year

Cornerbacks

What do I think the Giants should do?

Best Fit
Whether you like it or not, Elliott - the 225lb back with 4.47 speed and back-to-back 1800 yard seasons at 6.5 ypc- IS one of the top ten best players in this draft. All the crapola about whether he is as good as Gurley or Peterson is immaterial. He
