Corner Depth Is Pretty Thin At The Moment

AD-Blaze : 3/16/2018 4:47 pm
Outside of Jenkins, Apple and the new guy Curtis Riley (had no clue about this guys until he signed with the Giants) and couple that with the release of DRC... a position that was an absolute strength some 2 years ago seems to be a bit a question mark at the moment. I understand we are just a few days into free agency and the draft also offers an opportunity in regards to adding depth at the corner position but I have to wonder what the strategy is here for DG and the Giants front office? Any chance we're waiting for asking prices to go down? You have to wonder if Cockrell is still in play here. I'm not nervous (yet) when it comes to our corners but extremely curious to see what the end game is here.

Gets most of the attention but players like E.J. Gaines and FS Kenny Vaccaro are intriguing as well
I am also excited to start reviewing the Draft corners

because I have not spent much, if any time, researching the young crop.
Breeland just became available again.

Failed Panthers physical for a cut on his foot. Odd injury that will require a skin graft.

From what I understand, he is very smart in the film room. He had some social media missteps in DC and spotty play in 2016.

Not sure if the Skins tired of him, he bucked their fucked up organization, or Norman’s contract sucked up too much from the position.

Won’t cost much more than DRC’s old contract. Much younger.
I was thinking about this earlier today

#2 CB is probably the biggest need on the team right now. Says a lot about what we have done with the OL in FA already that I can say that.

Bring back Brandon Dixon. He played hard and did decent given his play.

Also Ross Cockrell still out there.

OLine and Front 7 were more of a prioity  
giantstock : 3/16/2018 5:46 pm : link
I like the GM's philosophy that he actually values Offensive Lineman and values Linebackers. I like having a solid fron 7 though not in love with them trying a 3/4 but I understand with Martin he's probably going to go that way.
----------------

Draft QB round 1
Draft OLine Round 2
Draft at least 2 corners in the next 3 rounds. And either a RB or a Olineman or DE with the other pick.
----------
Or
Draft QB round 1
Draft Corner round 2 (I'd prefer not to do this. Would have to be a huge disparity on the board)
Draft Oline round 3
Draft at least 1 Corner in round 4 or 5. And either a RB or a Olineman or DE with the other pick.

**After going 2-14 it's kind of hard to have no holes the following year. And over-spending so much for Solder leaves them a bit hamstrung.
Uhhh...

So should we not try to get better?
It's a long, long road to Week 1,  
81_Great_Dane : 3/16/2018 11:04 pm : link
and Week 1 isn't really even the "final" roster. Week 2 is when a lot of vets get signed, because their contracts aren't guaranteed for the full season after Week 1.

Hell, it's a long, long road to training camp.

There are going to be more cuts, especially camp cuts; more trades, the draft, undrafted free agents. The roster isn't going to be made in the first two official days of free agency.
So that raises the question

if we're gonna take a cah'nah in the draft

Will we draft a cah'nah? - ( New Window )

its almost impossible to not...
With DG seemingly going hard at OL/LB in free agency  
Jimmy Googs : 3/17/2018 11:29 am : link
would not be surprised if he uses several draft picks on CBs...
