What do the Giants need to address in the draft? Who’s going to be lingering around that 19th pick? Both questions Giants fans are eager to find out.

With so many holes on the Giants roster this offseason it’s hard to pinpoint one specific area the G-Men need to focus on.

Some people would argue that they need to draft defensive players, especially within the secondary and linebacker postions. While others would argue they need help on the offensive line.

Here are three names to consider and might be on the Giants wish list:

Hi-res-157285442_display_image  OT D.J. Fluker, Alabama.

Hi-res-154488199_display_image  CB Xavier Rhodes, Florida State.

Any of these players could bring an immedient improvement to the Giants roster.

It’ll be interesting to see what route they choose to go with their first round pick. But as always Jerry Reece and Tom Coughlin will pick the best player on the board and it’s bound to try excitement to the big apple.

 

 

 

Boley Released

Michael Boley has been released by the Giants and now lurks among the free agent market. This comes as no surprise considering his pace of play has declined this year due to several shoulder injuries.

He started 11 games this season and played in all 16. He racked up 84 tackles, 3 interceptions, half a sack, and two fumble recoveries.

“We recognized his special skills were in coverage. He’s a smart player who made some big plays for us. He was an integral part of our Super Bowl XLVI championship team. Michael played outstanding football down the stretch for us that season” said Tom Coughlin.

In realty Boley shouldn’t have been released because he was still one of the better starting linebackers on the Giants squad. It was the 6 million dollar price cap that Jerry Reece didn’t want to pay for when the G-Men have 22 other free agents to resign on the team.

It’ll be interesting to see how the Giants plan to fill the void of Boley, whether that be through the draft or free agency. And where will the next stop be Boley himself? All questions soon to be answered.
