Depth Charts ¦ Offseason Review (Coming Soon!)
2012 Draft Selections
| 1.32 | RB – David Wilson | Virginia Tech |  |
| You have to wonder if Wilson was their #1 choice for RB. With Martin gone the pick before, Giants might of ‘setteld’ for Wilson. But, it’s still a good pick. Wilson had a 2nd round grade, but he gives the Giants a homerun threat and forms a solid duo with Ahmad Bradshaw. | |||
2.31 WR Rueben Randle,LSU
- Solid pick. Randle could of been a 1st round selection but for some reason fell. After the departure of Mario Manningham, Randle should be able to fill the slot role immediately.
3.31 CB Jayron Hosley,Virginia Tech
- Hosley is a ballhawking CB who provides great depth as a nickle corner, and could be the Giants main return weapon. I had Hosley with 2nd round value, so this is an excellent pick.
4.32 TE Adrien Robinson,Cincinnati
- Giants needed some athleticism at TE and get a raw prospect who has a great blend of size,speed, and athleticism, albeit a round or two early.
4.36 OT Brandon Mosley,Auburn
- Mosley fits this range and fills the need of depth at OT. More suited as a RT who will need some time to develop.
6.31 OT Matt McCants,UAB
- McCants could of gone in round 3 and no one would of knocked the pick. He is a legit LT prospect, but is still a year or two away.
7.32 DT Markus Kuhn,NC State
- I like Kuhn, but he will have a tough time earning playing time. Might have to stick around the practice squad.
Overall Draft Grade
Needs |
|
| Pos. | |
|---|---|
| MLB | Signed Chase Blackburn |
| OT | Signed Sean Locklear |
| TE | Signed Martellus Bennett |
| OG | |
| RB |
(Other Potential Needs: WR,DT,OLB)
The Giants have a glaring hole at MLB as Marz Herzlich and Chase Blackburn are not the long term solutions, and injured MLB Jonathan Goff is set to be a FA after this season. You can also look for the Giants to address their O-line at all three spots this offseason since they have been underwhelming. While TE Jake Ballard has been solid they could look for a more athletic, pass catching TE in the middle of this years draft. We don’t know what the future has in store for Jacobs or Bradshaw at RB, but I dont see that combo lasting for to much longer. Giants should add depth later in the draft.
