...with need and value being there when the Giants select near the top of Rounds 2, 3 and 4.
Round Two (34th pick), good chance that either a James Daniel (Iowa) or Billy Price (Ohio State) are on the Board.
Round Three (66th pick), good chance that Frank Ragnow (Arkansas) is available.
Round Four (about 100th pick), good chance that Mason Cole (Michigan) is available.
These are all good players, so if Dave Gettleman wants a Center, I think this Draft sets up nicely for him in terms of Round flexibility.
Jones was an improvement, but an upgrade wouldn't make me sad. However there is a lot to be said for having a vet calling assignments.
Norwell, Hernandez and Ragnow! Sign me up now!!!

TC... I'm a big fan of Brett Jones, one of my favorite Giants. I'm not saying he's an All-Star, but I think he can be of service to a re-made offensive line, including providing decent backup at either Center or Guard. But I wouldn't be upset at all if Jones is our starting Center in 2018. (But Flowers starting at Left Tackle would be waving the white flag before the battle has begun).

we have Brett Jones! (I know that because I was so instructed here when I suggested something similar.)

Agree here. Oline won't be completely rebuilt overnight, and Jones can certainly be a stop gap for next season.
Exactly!
In FA get Norwell at LG, either Fleming or Hubbard for RT.....here is you OL group for 2018:
RT: Fleming, Wheeler
RG: Nelson, Bisnowaty
C. Jones, Cole
LG: Norwell
LT: Flowers, Crosby
If a trade is possible then the rebuild can happen in one year.

Jones has shown enough to be a swing center or guard. At worst, he's a good backup.

Grabbing Hernandez at 34 and Ragnow at 66 with Norwell in FA would be a solid pocket for Eli/rookie to step up into.

Either Norwell or Hernandez would have to move from LG to RG.
unless for what ever reason we traded down my 2nd favorite
player outside of Barkley is Smith LB Ga. he would take
some of the wear and tear off of Collins he is a friggen
beast I peg him for rookie DPY ...
Evans LB Ala . be a nice addition .
