Hi, I'm VALUE!

Love the move for Jordan and the draft of Taylor.  You had 2 major needs in the draft: LT and pass defense, and your first two picks were moves that should solidify your pass defense. A good pass rush also helps make your corners look better as well.  

I like the Thomas pick in the 3rd round because, as a projected guard in the NFL, I think he'll push Incognito and Jerry to either up their game or hit the bench. 

I think Sims will be a monster blocker in the run game.  Maybe he learns to catch, maybe he doesn't, but guys like Lamar Miller, Daniel Thomas, and Mike Gillislee love seeing a guy like that drafted.

The rest I'm a bit "meh" about.  Gillislee will either push Daniel Thomas or be a depth player.  Will Davis fills a need, so I'm all for bringing him in.  Jelani Jenkins doesn't seem to project higher than special teams.  Kickers are kickers, and while Carpenter literally cost us 2 games last year just on game-winning FG attempts I suspect we could have signed a kicker to push him after the draft (but am not fully sure on that).  Anything we get from Don Jones is a bonus.  

My outlook on this draft is positive.  Fans on NFL.com gave the draft a B overall, and I don't feel I need to dispute that.  Now we just need a left tackle.

Looks like the Alberts deal is not going to happen too.

This to me makes me think we're sticking with Martin on LT and signing Winston (if he's even still around)

Thoughts on the Dion Jordan pick?

I tossed this idea out with a few of my Jet fan friends. If  I'm the Giants, I give the Jets a call and ask about the 13th overall. I'd trade Cruz straight up for it. It really benefits both teams. WR is a position of strength for the Giants and the Jets need a quality receiver badly, not to mention the big name Woody would love. This allows the Giants to address their two biggest needs in Oline and LB with picks at 13 and 20 and still have a good WR corps. They could take a speed slot guy in the later rounds. 

Tennessee is also an intriguing option if you wanted to trade up and get either Chance Warmack or Jonathan Cooper...it's possible that they'd be tempted to do that deal assuming Tennessee has the cap space to sign Cruz to a long term deal..

I've heard plenty of stupid in the wake of all of this (including people who want to claim it didn't exist...really?) but this tops them I think.
