The Giants schedule in 2014 will be
Home: ARI, SF, HOU, IND, ATL
Away: STL, SEA, JAC, TEN, DET
The Giants will pick 12th. Note that I am not applying tiebreak to the 4-12 teams or to TEN and DET.
1 HOU 2-14
2 STL (from WAS) 3-13
3-7 JAC 4-12
3-7 CLE 4-12
3-7 ATL 4-12
3-7 OAK 4-12
3-7 TB 4-12
8 MIN 5-10-1
9 BUFF 6-10
10-11 TEN 7-9
10-11 DET 7-9
12 NYG 7-9
TEN and DET beat the Giants on SOS. STL will either finish 8-8 or lose the SOS tiebreak to the Giants.
This is coming from me, not the NFL, but I've done all the checking I can.
keep that in mind when looking past the 1st round.
I don't know how it works after the 1st round.

I am hoping Lewan falls to NYG.
I'm hoping that we take care of our needs (OL, RB, TE) in FA, then load up in the draft on BPAs.
We'd better sign Joseph or we'll need a really good DT. Hopefully Reese realizes that.
Then we could see right away whether tonight's game matters.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that's how it works, which means the Giants will be drafting at #12 in each round, but round 7.

Titans should be picking before the Giants.

Standings are based on division and conference tiebreakers.
Draft order is based on strength of schedule as the first tiebreaker.
So they are not necessarily consistent. You can finish 4th and pick behind the 3rd place team in your division.
I would prefer the top DB to a WR as well.
I mean it can't change draft order for the teams with worse records or the same record as the Giants (the top 13).
Lewan and Robinson could very well both be there when the Giants pick. So, unless they just don't rate those two highly, I think the pick is going to be an OT. This is a very strong draft for OTs
I think Erving's the best of the bunch, but he may not come out.
Duned, it would be foolish for us to keep letting go of really good players that we drafted high and coached up to be impactful players. A young guy who is part of our run-stopping core should get his money right here, imo. Hankins can play alongside him or sub for him at times to keep both fresh. It's not like we have a ton of young DTs...Jenkins and Patterson aren't getting younger, and Kuhn doesn't seem like a lock to make the roster next year.
1. HOU
2. STL (from WAS)
3. JAC
4. CLE
5. OAK
6. ATL
7. TB
8. MIN
9. BUF
10. DET
11. TEN
12. NYG
13. STL
I have CHI at 14 and PIT at 15 based on the overthecap percentages. CHI has 2 fewer SOS wins and will pick up only 1 for the DAL-PHI game.
After that it depends on the PHI-DAL result as based on overthecap DAL would pick 16th if they lost tonight.

He may envision Hankins as a plugger in the mold of Joseph, maybe not the same caliber but at least a guy who can come in and play a solid nose.

That's reasonable and I think highly of Joseph, I just worry he's going to command $7-8 mil a year and I'm not sure he's worth that, as valuable as he is. But to say Hankins can step in and fill that specific role (maybe) is not to say that it won't take a bite out of our depth. We were pretty healthy at DT this year, it is unreasonable to expect that to continue. If Joseph leaves we need to draft or sign at least one more guy, preferably someone who can play a serviceable one-technique.
They said the same about Pugh last year. It's really early now anyway.
Could be worse but that is pretty horrific
You've got to look at the situation for what it is. We're in the top 15.
Well get one of the top guys in round one and get this guy in round two....One thing he never missed a game (52) in 4 years.
There are only 20 non-playoff teams, so being in the top 15 isn't exactly a great bonus for not making the tournament. I'd be much happier top 10 (ok, this "game" I'm playing is dumb because I'd obviously be even happier with the #1 overall position {sigh - the whole thing just sucks})
How is KC getting Clowney?

A Lewan-Martin left side of the line would sure look nice.
Even if every draft pick is a winner.

That is depressing. It's too bad there's no other way to obtain players in this day and age.
