Giants Going Forward

The Giants are finishing up another poor season.   And looking forward they're going to have a lot of needs to address in the offeason:

WR - Randle is a flop and Cruz is a mystery.

RB - We have 2, need 3.

TE: We have back up types, need a more all around guy who can block and catch.

OL: We either need a right tackle so Pugh can move to LG or and LG so Pugh can stay at RT.

DL:  We need a starting type DT, unless Bromley shows enough, and a starting type DE, unless JPP is kept and one of the kids steps up.

LB:  We probably need 2 because Kennard is the only healthy guy who is also good.

Safeties:  We probably need 2 because Rolle is a free agent, Taylor is an injury and Berhe hasn't shown much.

That's a lot of needs.  What the Giants have done a lot in the past is address needs in free agency, then double down on many of the same positions in the draft.   For example, last offseason they signed JD Walton (who is awful) and then drafted Weston Richburg who has been playing out of position.

This time around they should really divvy up their positions of need, because there are so many and stop doubling down in the draft on positions they've addressed in FA.    Thus, they should make a few commitments on good players in FA -- and not try to outsmart the market with crap like Walton, Jerry and Brown again.   And then try to go BPA in the draft, since they pretty much still need everything, but the positions they will have addressed in FA.

They can take care of the rest in the UDFA and later FA markets after the draft.  But they have to be both wise and pecunious with their FA money and 8 picks this year.   Their needs demand it.

Would you want them to splurge on Suh? I don't know if it's even feasible, but figured i'd throw it out there.

Also, Eli better restructure his damn contract.

Depends on the money and Suh is also a character concern. Doesn't handle the roids very well, it would seem.

I would for the simple fact he makes our D better and will make others around him better. we've signed worse character guys. I'm in the all for it camp.
