Offense or defense?
Now that the Giants have upgraded at MLB, right tackle, and wide receiver there is some argument among Giants fans about what to do in the draft.
There's a very strong "draft a backup running back" first contingent. There's the "Defense wins championships" contingent. And the
"draft offensive lineman and a big back" smashmouth football contingent.
Persaonlly, I think we have money to address fullback and blocking tight end in free agency. And if the best player available at #43 is a back I say we take him.
But what I really want is for a great corner to fall to us because corners cost a fortune in free agency.
Left tackles, good running backs, and defensive ends are almost as expensive so if someone at one of those positions is more likely to succeed in the NFL than any of the available corners, we could go that way.
The other thing to consider is that we need depth at safety. I expect us to find some in the draft but would be surprised if we did it in rounds 2 or 3.

its me, ya boy. this would be a good suggestion for the giants, sign travis henry. 2 yr deal. great scat back. i had asked my friends cousin rudy johnson if he would go to the giants and back up tiki. he says his agent could not get nothing going. i guess because he was a franchise player.
