highly sought after and may get a higher price tag because of it. Would the Giants look to jump in on that price war or look elsewhere? I'm not sold on Pugh at Guard. I don't feel he has the power to fend off larger DTs. I could be wrong, but I think the Giants need to focus on getting a mauler at Guard and leaving Pugh alone at RT. If the Giants look at Orlando Franklin, would they consider him more of a Guard or RT?
The Giants like OL that can play multiple positions

making Franklin more of a target if they decide to go in that direction.
I'm in the Franklin group..

I don't personally care because I would never submit a comment or question to Graziano. The guy certainly knows his stuff but he can be so condescending to the fans. We get it, the average fan doesn't know near as much as he does but is it really necessary to spend three sentences correcting a fan's exaggeration about the cap, or commenting on the use of OG vs Offensive Guard? The twitter comments are just bad. I get it, he doesn't like it when fans ask "hey the Cardinals just released Ted Ginn, should the Giants take a look?" Not asking him to like the fans, but he could be a little more respectful.
