Here is the April update for Giants as the VIRTUAL NFL draft draws near:

QB Daniel Jones is firmly ensconced as the starting quarterback. Signing veteran QB Colt McCoy was a smart move as will be able to provide guidance to young Jones. Not sure if the Giants will carry 3 quarterbacks on the active roster.

RB Saquon Barkley leads the backfield corps. The signing of the very capable 3^rd down RB Dion Lewis bodes well as he adds another dimension to the backfield. RB Wayne Gallman will round out the RB corps. They will likely add a 4^th runner to this group.

The receiving corps appears set with WR Sterling Shepard and WR Golden Tate. Young 2^nd year WR Darius Slayton is an exciting deep threat. They also re-signed WR Corey Coleman.

TE Evan Engram has a tremendous physical skill set but simply cannot stay on the field. Unfortunately, I don’t see that changing. There might be a young player drafted late to provide depth and competition.

The offensive line rebuild continues. This is a deep tackle draft class so they will take someone early in Round 1 or 2. My hope is they trade down and still have a shot at Willis, Wirfs, Becton or Thomas. A center might also be on the radar.

The defensive line appears to be set. I don’t see a major pick here.

If the G-Men don’t trade down, the pick here should be Clemson LB Isiah Simmons who can play multiple positions and is a physical specimen. They also upgraded this group by signing LB Blake Martinez and LB Kyle Fackrell from Green Bay. This might finally be a stout corps once again!

The signing of free agent CB James Bradberry was big as that gives them a legit #1 corner. I need to see who gets the nod opposite S Julius Peppers as veteran S Alvin Bethea was released.

That’s it for now.Enjoy the draft and more to come in May….

End.
