CB -
Frankly I did not expect Reese to thin out the draft with high selections to replace Hankins and gamble on getting first round future talent at QB.
We are one injury away from disaster with starters who are not proven immune and play a position where you really cannot pull up and get them next time ala Eli.
Make no mistake - #s 1,2 & 3 are tops. I am not so worried about #4 as #4, but #4 as #3. The only hope I see here is vast internal improvement of the pass rush.

Every down of every game. JPP almost never does that and his surgery was much more serious and complicated than initially thought.
Same at CB. DRC is always little dinged up and that usually doesn't improve with age.
How is this true? They have invested in a number of DEs to spell those two. Okwara, OO, Wynn and this years #5 pick Moss. You make it sound like if you don't have 3 pro bowl DEs you one short. We have as much depth and talent at DE as any team in the league.
And we drafted Apple last year just to put DRC in a position that he wouldn't have to play every snap (which he didn't)
Odi has shown ZERO so far. Wynn has shown that he is JAG at best. and you're smart enough to know that you cant could t on a fifth rounder to be an immediate contributor.
What happened when DRC want down against GB in the playoffs?
That's a wrap.
I don't see how anyone could watch the playoff game with GB and not feel like CB was an Achilles heel once DRC went out and GB had time to adjust their game plan it was painfully obvious, along with offensive weapons, and pass rush.
I just think a marginal upgrade there is easier to execute than at Offensive Tackle because of the larger volume of players that can step in at CB...

I agree with that too and that they didn't draft a CB doesn't bother me. My thoughts are a free agent CB is better suited for what the Giants need anyway.
I'd like to see one of the names I mentioned above, McCourty (depending on price), Shields, Flowers, etc. maybe even Verner who has to be one of the worst FA signings benefits from a change of scenery.
All of them would be better than Hunter, Blake, Deayon more than likely
Not only are you mischaracterizing Tomlinson, you clearly have little to no undersatnding of the importance and advantage to taking up space on the DL. So space-hogging DT's that can't rush the passer allow the opposing QB's all day to throw? The lack of football knowledge here is astounding, especially when the OP tries to make it seem like he has a good grasp of it.
