We've drafted a LBer once in the first three rounds under Reese, and that guy turned out to be a bust (Simtin). History dictates that Reese doesn't value the position as much as the other defensive positions.
Also I doubt we cut Boley and Blackburn. Boley has been decent to great and Blackburn is cheap and solid (even as depth). Rivers was a non-starter anyway, but he'd be cheap to re-sign (whether we do or not is a different story).
P.S. - I'd LIKE to see us sign a stud LB (or two) .... I just don't see the Giants going that direction.
They aren't going to pay boley to ride the pine and he was hardly getting snaps towards the end of the season.
Agree. I believe we will prob get a supplemental pick following the 4th round considering we lost Manningham, Jacobs, Ross, Goff, Tollefson and really only brought in Bennett and Lochlear. So in my updated mock I will prob have him slotted into that Supp pick because I believe he will be shooting up the draft boards considering what a player of his ability could do seeing how dominating JJ Watt was in 2012.
Jacobs was released. They probably get a 5th at best. More likely a 6th
Was doing some research this morning and it appears the consensus has us getting a supplemental pick in the 6th and 7th. Also looks like Hunt is indeed getting a lot of attention, more than I thought he would. Good feedback fellas. Thanks.
