I expect a couple will be signed (Feliciano?, Moreau?) while so of the others probably won't get any takers until after the draft

Based on what the Giants have done so far, I think that they may be happier at CB than we, the fans, are.   Perhaps Robinson is healthier than we know or they really like Nick McCloud.  They could be content to add the young CB they have in for a visit and also add day 1 or 2 in the draft.

I am a bit puzzled by Feliciano.  I would have thought they would have signed him already.  If they don't sign him then the Giants will have serious issues at center unless they think the 34 center from TN is an alternative

They may be content with Ezeudu at LG and Brederson at center.

I want Moreau back....not high on any of the rest.

I thought they'd have locked up Feliciano by now as well 

One oft overlooked CB that showed flashes last year is Zyon Gilbert. He came in raw as sashimi. 6'1" and lean - a little too lean. Needs to add a few pounds of muscle. But he's fast (4.4/40 at his pro day) and smart...and physical, some say "a baller". You cannot teach "long with speed" or "football smarts". Having come from small school Florida Atlantic (well, not small, but unheralded in the college football scene [C-USA]), he flew under the radar and got zero press. Could be one of the diamonds in the rough. We have the right coaches to groom him into a player

He made some nice plays last year, and a couple of times he was even impressive. I'd like to know what the coaches think of him. If they are high on him, that might explain why they aren't all over CBs in FA

I think 25-year-old Nick McCloud is another CB NYG is high on

The fact that they have not resigned Feliciano, with no center on the roster, and no other signed, and with them looking at Brendal, I have to believe they have no interest in bringing him back, especially after Gates was no longer an option no less.

No idea what their plan is, but it does appear he is not a part of it. Maybe that changes idk

[Jclayton92]

I like Gilbert and Flott a ton. I know we need a number 2 corner but I'm not fond of Holmes in the slot either.

Yeah, Holmes has been an exploitable weakness for the past couple of years

[President Rick]

sounds like you guys think we may go C/G in rd. 1 rather than CB.  I'd be ok with that if we go CB asap after that.  We need a starter at both C and CB.  As for Holmes, as I have often stated, he's a liability in coverage, but why not try him at safety [we've lost Love and holmes is a decent tackler].

I would only be okay with a center in round one if the Giants trade down to the bottom of round one or the top of round 2.   25 is a bit rich for any of the centers in this draft class (in my opinion)

[Jclayton92]

Yeah I think there will be really good talent left at 25, to good to waste that pick on a center.

[Jolly Blue Giant]

I suspect we won't address the center position until the third round. Unless John Michael Schmitz is still there in the second round. Really can't seeing them going for a Center in the first round

I see them going with a stud WR or DT in round one, then maybe CB (Kelee Ringo, Emmanuel Forbes?), then get a center. But who knows, whatever happens in the first will dictate the rest of the draft. If some highly ranked player that isn't a specific need is sitting there, I suspect that's who we'll grab. And that will determine the rest of the draft IMO

According to Ranaan's latest podcast, unless I misheard, they're penciling in Bredeson as the starting LG.  Not sure what that means for Ezeudu.  If you look at the latest Giants depth chart on BBI, Lemieux is the starting LG and Bredeson is the starting center.  But they also have Bellinger starting as TE, and Aaron Robinson as RCB.  i'm guessing its signed players only although Barkley is starting andes not signed
