Great Blue North 2021 NFL Draft: Positional Rankings

M.S. : 9/28/2020 8:35 am

These came out about a week ago, but I didn't think we would have to focus on them quite so soon.

IMO, if you exclude the QB position (since the jury is still out on Daniel Jones), this rusted hulk of a team is most desperate for a bona fide top tier offensive center, and we will stay on the ocean bottom until we find one.

I've copied URLs for a few positions. Once you get to one, you can select others:

I didn't look extensively,

but I absolutely agree C, WR, and ER are our top 3 needs. What's really depressing is that we are multiple guys, at multiple positions (requiring multiple drafts) away from competing. We need at least 2 new starting OL, 2 WR, 2-3 at S/CB combined... and more. OL and CB especially have been total quicksand for DG. Three games in -- not even October yet -- and we're talking about the draft. God help us.

I would add CB to top priority. With Baker gone and Beal an total enigma, we need that second CB.

There isn't a single position on the team

Where we don't need either an upgrade, or insurance in the event a player leaves soon in free agency, doesn't recover from injury, or simply doesn't improve. Not a single one!

And really, that is basically where they have been for the past few years. And why a trade-down strategy is prudent for a team like the NYG.

Our GM

On the other hand, likely sees mainstays everywhere. He was extremely high on Peppers for example, and I imagine he still is.

Pass rushers, pass rushers, pass rushers!

First. And they pretty much need more of everything else, too.

I think this will be the fourth year in a row

Where the Giants could draft the BPA regardless of position and that player will also fill a huge need.
