Giants Offseason Pt.9: OL Coming Into Focus

Mara, Reese and Coughlin were all on WFAN today, and each one of them discussed their need to fix the OL.  Mara spoke generally, but Reese and Coughlin were more specific, and gave us clues.  Both said they see Weston Richburg as a C, which is a massive relief given the swinging gate JD Walton was this year.  What's more, TC went on to remind us the Justin Pugh can play G if they find a bigger better fit for RT.   Now, when Pugh has been healthy, he's been a very effective RT, and he has all the tools to be a very good guard, and could even play C.

Anyway, the plan seems to be either acquire a bigger RT or draft a T they can play at RT for a year before moving to LT.

So, as of right now, next year's OL probably looks like Beatty, Pugh, Richburg, Schwartz, New Guy.    Depending on the New Guy, that could be a really nice line going forward, especially if they can upgrade Beatty, next year with either Pugh or the New Guy.

Having said that, they will also need better OL depth.   So look for them to hit it twice in FA and twice in the Draft, and that should do the trick.
