PFW (Eric Holmes) also says DT position needs higher priority

[JawnyBlaze]

And of those three legitimate holes, I can mock us our first three picks and fill them right now:

1. Hankins or J Williams

2. Barrett Jones, Cooper, or Larry Warford

4. Rambo (or Eric Reid and let Godfrey stay at FS where I like him best anyway)

Bam. No holes. Just future replacements needed for Gross and Smitty and depth at CB and OL

I like your mock. I would be satisfied with those picks although. I just really want a stud OG . I think it will hide our tackle deficiency by addition of a better run game.

14th is perfect for a DT. There isn't any reaching anymore, unless you're q QB needy team with the #1 pick and QBs suck in this years draft. The rookie pay scale softened the blow. We are in a perfect range to get a great DT, OT, DB, WR.

i agree we are in perfect range for a good talent at DT, OT, WR, DB,but you should not reach for any position but QB. if no DT is there at 14 worth the pick, get a WR,OL, or DB.

I don't disagree. the edwards wall was solid last season but dwan shouldn't be considered much more than hollis thomas was in 2009(?) ron is getting up there too.

I'd love to see offensive and defensive lineman in the first two rounds, and given the giants philosophy i think that's a safe bet

You got those names backwards. Ron is the older one.

Gettleman came from the Giants and knows the players very well. The Giants need a MLB and we need a WR. Beason would be a good fit for them and we need Nicks at WR. If Getleman can make it happen, we would not feel bad for Beason leaving and it will meet a big need for us without using our draft picks.

A win win !

I don't see them giving up Nicks that easy for a questionable Beason (though Nicks has his injury issues/history as well). Perhaps some other players or WRs could be in that scenario as well. Interesting thought if all parties would agree. Obviously allows us to address DT with the first pick.

damn, you're right. dwan is only 31.

[TheMaulClaw]

Kris Jenkins was a 3rd round pick.

That being said.

Knowing our new general manager loves big men on the lines, I expect both lines to be addressed this off season.

That's what I thought too.

The thing about drafting DTs is that they usually take at least a couple of years to pan out, especially a run stuffing NT. Hurney's outlook was only 1 or 2 years down the road for a long time.

But there's at least 3 DTs that are worth a #14 pick. We're not reaching for a DT at that spot. Or WR, OT. S maybe. Vaccaro looks good enough to pick up.

Again our spot is great. Dare I say trade back if possible.

[Killa Cam 69]

We should see if Dwayne jarret wants to try playing again.. He can eventually be our number 1.. Pure talent.. Next Calvin Johnson potentially

I'd love a trade back. I agree there's 3 DTs that wouldn't be a reach at 14, maybe even 4 (Star, Hankins, Richardson, Williams). I dunno about OT though. Joeckel and Fisher will likely be gone and I don't think any other OTs are 1st round at all, much less top half. Maybe Fluker as a RT at the end of 1, but that's pushing it. I also don't know about any S in this class. To take a S or OG or TE or even a RB in the top half of the 1st they really gotta be special,and I don't see any S in this class that's really special. I didn't think Barron qualified last year (and still don't).

Ditto.

Oh god, yes, DT is a big need, but this guy does NOT know the team better than we do. Don't know why you would change your opinion on our positional needs just because of a guy like this.
