Giants Draft: Review Pt 1 First Impressions

I'm not going to get too deep here, but here are some things that jumped out at me.   First, they did not use the 2-3 picks I wanted them to use on the OL.   They used one.  That said, they got a perfect Giant Type Center who should play for 8-10 years.   Weston Richburg goes perfectly with Justin Pugh.   So that gives us two great building blocks, but we needed more.  With Schwartz we now have 3 quality OL's.  Everyone else is an injury or a mystery.

At the end of last season, John Mara said the Offense was broken.  Given that, I was even more surprised that the Giants drafted 4 defenders to only 3 offensive players.  They also hired more D than O in FA.  So what's going on?  Also, in the early returns, they've signed more d players than o players in UDFA.   What's going on?  The defense wasn't broken.

I wrote quite a bit about taking football players instead of just athletes leading up to this draft, and that's just what they did.  So I'm really happy about that.  I would have liked more OL's (though within that desire I am really picky about the kind we take) but at least all 7 of the picks are football players and we won't have to worry about a lack of instincts slowing down anyone's development.

Also, I'm still waiting for them to sign some OL's in UDFA.  They met with a ton of them leading up to the draft, so I'm hoping they have a ringer or two stashed.
