Per Ralph: Giants very high on Evans

So who does Cruz think the Giants should select? He tabbed Texas A& M wide receiver Mike Evans as the ideal candidate to fill that outside role. He’s not the only one either. Several sources have told the Daily News recently that Evans, a 6-5, 225-pounder, is up near the top of the Giants’ draft board and a player they very seriously have their eye on at No. 12.

Ralph is normally spot on when it comes to the Giants 1st round draft pick. I still don't think Evans gets past Tampa, Buffalo, and Detroit .

Some actual rumors opposed to speculation two weeks out. Nice to see

No where did I say they don't need to add to the OL. Â

I flat out said they did and that its current state is especially concerning because of how long things have been going off the rails there.

I'm just saying calling people idiots because they don't see how the OL won them success in the 2011 season run to SB 46 -- like you did -- is, well, idiotic because the OL that year mostly functioned as an obstacle the QB and the pass catchers you seem to want to undervalue had to overcome. Citing that year, run, if anything, is evidence for the other side, not yours.

How anyone thinks that WR talent was the downfall of the 201 Â

bereft of talent and really not comparable to the 2011 version at all wasn't the downfall of last season makes no sense to me. Do people honestly believe that "WR talent" is the difference between having the 7th best offense in 2011 (according to fo.com) versus the 2nd worst offense in the entire sport in 2013? (Thanks Jacksonville!)

Damn, I wish we had an edit button. Â

I meant to say I don't understand how anyone thinks lack of talent at the WR position was the downfall of the 2013 NY Giants offense.

2011 - 7th best offense (fo.com)
2013 - 2nd worst offense (only JAX was worse)

Despite not being a good running team in 2011, they still were middle of the pack in negative runs. In 2013, they were 2nd worst in the NFL in negative runs. In 2011, they still managed a top 10 adjusted sack rate. In 2013, they dropped to the bottom half of the league.
