Re: What positions do we target in the first two rounds next year?

Call me crazy but i would like to address WR, and RB as nicks is great he's slightly injury prone imho although his injuries don't keep him out long its the fact that their lingering that bothers me and with the way eli has elevated his game why not give him more weapons and competetition for the other Wide outs to improve. </P>
And RB cause lets be honest bradshaw is a beast but his run still is damaging to his feet and how long is he going to last running the way he is, Jacobs is great when the line is available to block im not sold on ware yet. we need an every down back i wish we were in position to get richardson but i know hes like a top 10 talent and we wont be picking anywhere near top 10 </P>[/quote]Assuming we addres our LB problem I'm %100 with you....nowadays you got to have at least 4 good WRs...nicks is injury prone,H.A.M can be very inconsistent & what if we found ourselves losing him unexpected like boss??....Cruz has been great,but I think we'd all agree it'll take another season t be %100 sold, around the league every year we see guys put up monster years and then disappear.....the fact that Jernigan hasn't seen the field isn't promising,Barden I'm not sold on.......
RB, Bradshaw & Jacobs are hurt every year, and Jacobs replacement needs to be thought of now, he's going to be 30 & making alot of $$$
Re: What positions do we target in the first two rounds next year?
As of right now our starting RT next year is who? Brewer?
Re: What positions do we target in the first two rounds next year?
Well depending on what happens in free agency, I think O-line and LB, specifically Sam backer, should be targeted in the first 2 rds.
But I think CB should be looked at (Ross and Thomas are FAs and Thomas is coming off his 2nd ACL surgery on the same knee)
With our RB situations(Bradshaw's ankle/foot issues and Jacobs possibly not being a Giant next year) I would not mind seeing someone like Ball or Polk as a Giant next year.
Ballard has exceeded expectations in my opinion, but I would like another compliment at TE for the Giants---the Beckum experiment is not working out.

draft as many weapons as you want, but if eli aint getting protected, no one gets the ball! we dnt need to spend a 1st rd pick on WR or rb. We have way more needs..</P>
Re: What positions do we target in the first two rounds next year?
i would love a top RB and OL.
Lamar Miller and Peter Konz if we can get them.
We can sign a FA TE like Olsen or Fasano and make Ballard a backup.

1) Fasano isnt a FA until 2013</P>
2) Question...Why would you bench a younger Ballard whois younger andis having a better year thenOlsen? And most likely will want a payday after this year..</P>

Re: What positions do we target in the first two rounds next year?
Besides QB U can justify anything.
Center-Baas sux
LG -Diehl sux
OT-Beatty injury prone Mckenzie FA
WR- Manningham FA,Barden hasnt done enough with his snaps
TE-Ballard is Ok but another guy is needed
RB-Jacobs sux,Bradshaw injury prone and slow
CB
Webster is a starter but makes to much money.
Amukumara- has been terrible but Im willing to give him a pass but it doesnt look good
Thomas is a FA and coming off a really bad injury
Ross -FA and is worth keeping if they can pay him what he is a 4th corner
Safety
Phillips- Better then I expected this season but not above being upgraded
Rolle-Average safety making ridiculous money.Supposedly a team leader.Maybe its why this team lacks leadership because thats a guy leading him.Id cut his ***
Grant-Finished.Only a box safety back up
DT
Linval- First season starting takes on Double teams well isnt on the level of Coefield though.Willing to wait on him
Canty-Overrated overpaid cut him
Austin-Has now not played in 2 years.I actually will be amazed if he isnt a bust
DE
Osi-needs to be traded
Tuck-Always playing hurt
JPP-Stud best 4-3 end in Football by next season
Tolly-Solid depth
LB
WLB- Boley ,Williams,Paysinger- Good group I think
SOLB-Kiwi should be playing defensive end and will be again I believe after Osi is shipped out
MLB-Goff- Hopefully comes back strong, Greg Jones-I wasnt sold on Jones at draft time I think its obvious why he fell, Herzlich-played better then Jones
