We have 3 day two picks, including two in the second round. All three of those picks could feasibly be used on O line if they really wanted to, and you can expect to get solid players in that range. I don't know why so many here seem to think that if we don't use another top 10 pick on O line, it means we're not going to significantly address the O line.

I am completely against drafting an olineman unless it is in the 5th round and beyond. I think 2 plug and play FA for the line is a lot better than drafting and hopefully waiting for someone to produce.

If we dont sign 2 FA starting OL, then we cant wait until the 5th round and hope we get lucky with a Trey Smith or Michael Onwenu.

Dave, not saying either WR or OL at 1 but if Giants think at say 7 an OT prospect is a better player than available wr prospect, I say take the OL.  I am with you if a better WR is available we take the WR.

If the Giants can't get their QB at 5 or better, 4, than they should think about trading the pick to get more picks including a first rounder for the next year.

How does that work considering we won H2H match-up with the Pats?

From Simms to Eli (with an assist from Hoss) our Super Bowl Quarterbacks. Great defense and clutch QB performances...NY Giants Championship football.

I have an old profile still floating around: andrew_nyg....I am one and the same!

Rosehill Jimmy

If we can't get the QB we like at wherever we are picking, the guy I would have a hard time passing on is Dallas Turner.  In every Bama game I've watched his relentless pursuit off the edge reminds me somewhat of LT. He's all over the place!  I'm looking forward to watching how he does against Michigan on New Year's Day

It has nothing to do with head to head just record and strength of schedule. We have the 6th hardest SOS giving us the edge on most. Only the Raven, Bengals, Bills, Raiders, and Commanders have harder schedules and we are tied with the Cardinals IN sos. So if we have the same record as NE then we get the pick before them assuming the beat one of the bills/Jets.

I wonder what the next two weeks will do to our SOS though (compared to the teams around us). I haven't looked into that,.
