LT Solder LG Omameh C Sullivan RG Jones RT Flowers

Jones contract is not guaranteed, a draft choice could replace him too but I actually like Jones.

Cut Jerry ASAP and keep Halapio, Bisnowaty, Wheeler and maybe even Jones as reserves.

Mr. Nickels : 3/15/2018 1:49 pm : link
is a solid player he was huge for the Rams last year.
Awesome!

I have been a huge supporter of signing Sullivan.
If he is signed  
Jay on the Island : 3/15/2018 1:51 pm : link
The line could consist of:
LT Solder LG Omameh C Sullivan RG 2nd rd pick RT Flowers

Wheeler, Jones, Greco or Halapio as backups.
Keep in mind  
Mr. Nickels : 3/15/2018 1:52 pm : link
the Rams line was terrible in 2016. Last year they signed Whitworth and Sullivan allowing Roger Saffold to kick inside to left guard and thereby upgrading 3 positions.

We would be doing the exact same thing only Solder is 5 years younger.

If we draft Barkley and he is as advertised maybe we can have our own Gurley.
That would be a pretty solid looking line....

Greco would be over Jones at RG.
Watched him play since high school  
mac attack : 3/15/2018 2:01 pm : link
Good veteran player. May come cheap given his age. I would bring him in.
Signing Sullivan  
ij_reilly : 3/15/2018 2:07 pm : link
puts Jones where he belongs, quality depth at both guard positions and center. Unless they think he is potentially starting at RG, which I doubt.

I am really curious about the Greco signing. I wonder what they have in mind there. He might not make the team, depending on the draft.

I have to admit, everytime I see someone here on BBI automatically plugging Flowers in at RT, I get irritated.

There's no way the Giants are going to hand the RT position to Flowers. Nor are they going to hand the RG position to Flowers. His scholarship has expired.

The Giants also have Wheeler and to a lesser extent Bisnowaty (he was not good last year). There's going to be competition.

And, I don't think Gettleman is done in free agency with the OL yet (assuming Sullivan is signed, big assumption).

Our 2nd round pick is very early. It's about where we drafted Chris Snee. If we draft the right player we can easily draft a starting guard.

What about Ryan Jensen?

Only 26, started 16 games for the Ravens last year and apparently played pretty well. He is set to visit the Colts and Bucs.

He is going to be too pricey. Likely close to the deal Richburg received.
RT has to be considered a ????  
Bill in UT : 3/15/2018 2:22 pm : link
I'd be surprised if we don't go OT or OG with the 34 pick. There should be some good ones of each available. The guards may be stronger as a group there, but we may have to look at need. We've got some potential now, but Solder is really the only solid starter of the 5 going in.

Omameh is a solid starter too. His name just isn't as familiar as Solders.
If they sign this guy  
Dave on the UWS : 3/15/2018 2:33 pm : link
And draft someone like Price (he probably won’t be available) who can play center or guard, you would plug him in at RG until Sullivan retires. That would be light years ahead of where they’ve been. They would have Jones as quality backup and two young guys in Wheeler and Biz to factor into the mix at tackle. That’s a MUCH better unit than we’ve had for some time.

I'd like to see an OT and OG both drafted, which would provide you with quality backups to take over when the signed veterans move on.

Saying Flowers at right tackle, that may not happen, he may be a worse right tackle, I would not count on that at all, if anything, guard. If anything.
Go Big Red!  
Blue Racer : 3/15/2018 3:27 pm : link
Meaning Greenwich High Cardinals, where Sullivan starred. (Steve Young and Ricky Bell, too.)

I heard he bought a house in the area (I think it is Greenwich) so perhaps that would give the Giants the edge to sign him.

Aside from Sullivan being from my alma mater, I really think a center position held down by him and Jones (budding youth and solid vet) would be ideal, not to mention economical. And the line would have another vet leader to go with Solder.

I really hope this happens!

He will not be handed the RT job. He will be competing with Wheeler and possibly a draft pick for the job. I would rather see Wheeler win the job with Flowers moving inside to RG.
Like Jones so  
idiotsavant : 3/15/2018 3:37 pm : link
Solder.Ohmama.Jones.Sully.?Flowers

As C is the QB of the line, using both gives you two sets of eyes.

Add one starter from draft and bobs your uncle.
JS  
old man : 3/15/2018 3:49 pm : link
will want to start. Jones @RG,pro temps, or bench backing up LG or C?
Our bench is already better.
OG , or LT that currently fits RT better @34?

It we can get a visit at least.

I feel Jones is a bit overated on here but a capable Back up , we have to use our draft picks wisely .
Good vet stopgap  
RomanWH : 3/15/2018 5:15 pm : link
If he signs, could open the door for the Giants to draft Billy Price. Provided the medicals check out and they believe he will make a full recovery from that pec tear, the team could have their future center on the roster ready for the following season.

This is how DG is earning his money...  
Dan in the Springs : 3/15/2018 6:25 pm : link
lots of despair after failing to secure the top OG on Monday. If NYG was just going after the top FA with all-out money and no other plans they might as well have hired me for GM. It's clear all along that the owners knew they had to improve the OL and would have asked DG how to get it done. He had to have an answer better than "get the highest priced OL in the league through FA", or even "you can't do it all in one year, we're going to improve a little and continue to suck for at least a year or two on the OL". He had to be able to give them confidence that he would be able to find guys like Sullivan and Omameh on reasonable contracts who would play like hog-mollies for the NYG.

What never disappoints is the over-reaction BBI has to almost any news.
