The 2011 team had flaws but we had one thing on each side of the ball we could hang our hat on, elite passing offense and elite pass rush.
The giants need to find a way to create strengths on each side of the ball this offseason.
IF we wind up with the second pick we should pay whatever it takes to add Yannick or Shaq Barrett. That combined with Chase you now have a strength on defense.
What would you try to build as our team strength given what’s available and what we currently have?
next years 4th or 5th will probably be pretty high too.
gettleman's strength thus far seems to be getting rid of third round picks for "assets" like beal and williams, and similarly, blowing 4th round picks in various ways (lauletta, ogletree).
we all hoped his strength would be creating a dominant OL. so far he's got maybe two pieces in place there. maybe.
I think the offseason is more of plugging glaring weaknesses - ILB, FS and OL. These have all been holes for years.
Replace Pat Shurmur. His record speaks for itself.
Strengthen the OL and make better use of the running game.
If there is insufficient improvement a year from now, then it's Gettleman's head that rolls.
We will dominate in the running game...

Traded a 4th + a 5th to move up and draft Baker
