After watching a NYG team that was so unlike typical Coughlin teams, I think we are all on board with avoiding the JPP or Ron Dixon or Jerrell Jernigan type prospect. Granted, those types may pay dividends especially w a good coaching staff. But with what we endured last year:
A QB who still can't manage the play clock and is careless with the ball.
WRs who ran poor routes.
TEs on the roster who weren't near NFL ready.
A LT who lacks the requisite NFL toughness.
Interior OL that lacked talent and/or any ability to stay healthy (not a new phenomenon).
So, its time for a 2nd shot in the arm (the 1st being an excellent job by JR in FA). Its time to take a draft and re-infuse the team with toughness, smart play and responsible players.
Referring to guys like this: Aaron Donald, Ed Stinson, John Urchel, Weston Richburg, Zach Martin, Ed Reynolds, David Yankey, Joel Bitonio, Jordan Matthews, Tyler Gaffney, Chris Borland, Trey Burton among many others.
These guys range from Rd 1 to UDFAs, but what they share is that they are football players.
