Joe,

I get that this draft has a lean toward defense in terms of how prospects rate.  That being said, is there no offensive players worth taking in the 2nd?  Lineman that rate equally to the DT in the 2nd?

I don't want them drafting for need rather than BPA, just hard to fathom that a team that has averaged under 16 ppg for 2 years would draft defense in rounds 1 and 2.

Matt - I am with you that after two years of 16 points per game, we need huge help in offense.  Frankly if the draft had more offense in early round 1, I'd prefer that.  That said it is not.

However, round 2 is where I think we can help our offense.  As you know we can grab a QB there but I want to see us focus on linemen.  As I wrote, guys like Josh Connerly, Emory Jones as tackles, Tate Ratledge is IMHO a day 1 starting NFL RG from UGA.  We seem to have a hole at RG so I would love that pick.  Connerly controlled Ohio State's entire right side of their DL in the CFP.  He's a left tackle with incredible athleticism and lateral movement.  Wyatt Milum from West Virginia is an OT who likely plays Guard.  He blocked Abdul Carter one on one and took him out of the game. 

If you think the Giants need another RB to complement Tracy, both RBs out of Ohio State are good, TreVeon Henderson and Q. Judkins.  TH is dual threat RB with great hands while Judkins is a downhill hard running back.

If you think we need another WR to complement Nabers, there are a bunch.

I like the RT from Texas on top ov Connerly for a mid round tackle. I'd be happy with that draft.

Watch Connerly against Ohio State in the CFP.  He was outstanding.
