BlueInCanada Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Vernon, JPP, OO, Wynn, Ayers (if he's resigned), Lawson in the draft. Spags has his defense back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Dan Graziano @DanGrazianoESPN 42s42 seconds ago The money is obviously insane. But as of this morning, the top CB, DT and DE on the market were Jenkins, Harrison, Vernon. Bart Hubbuch @BartHubbuch 1m1 minute ago Tom Coughlin is going to shiv Jerry Reese the next time he sees him in the halls of the Giants practice facility.

gmenroc Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 That was a huge first day. But they can't be done yet. There are still major holes on this team. RT, RG, FS, WR...could all still be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT, RG, FS, WR...could all still be addressed. I'd really like to see them address the right side of the line at some point, though I think it might be slim pickings for a RT.

Bigblue25 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I'd really like to see them address the right side of the line at some point, though I think it might be slim pickings for a RT. Yep Schwartz and Massie both gone. They were about the only two and Massie isn't really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I wouldn't be opposed to bringing Beatty back at a much reduced salary to man the RT spot for a year or two. I'd certainly draft one as well at some point this year to take over when Beatty finishes out his one or two year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstarjim Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Thanks! I know Pdub was telling me this but PFF, who I know some don't like and I agree don't nail everything 100%, had him rated as the third best edge rusher last year after Von Miller and Khalil Mack. If that holds up I am a very happy camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The exciting thing about Vernon is he's young and he probably hasn't peaked yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
