The Giants biggest hole this year was by far the secondary. Tye Hill & Antonio Cromartie are two very good looking cornerbacks who are likely to fall to the number 25 spot. Brent Alexander was the most consistent guy in the secondary and he is like 36 and led the team with 4 INTs but is pretty much on the decline so Greg Blue would be a nice fill in. He doesn't have to start immediately but if it comes time when Alexander has to go then Blue would be a good replacement. There is no intimidating presence in our secondary right now but Blue could be the guy who scares the opponent cause he hits like a machine. Although he does seem to get lost in pass coverage and we can't really afford that.

Thomas Howard, Ernie Sims both fast OLB and Carlos Emmons probably won't be back next year and even if he is I think we proved that we don't have much depth at linebacker. Reggie Torbor, Nick Greisen, Chase Blackburn COULD take over an OLB spot but I don't think they are good enough to start for a saeson. Manny Lawson a 2nd-3rd round guy with same qualities as Sims and Howard but doesn't have great instincts or anything. I'd rather we focus on getting Blue/Moss in 2nd/3rd round.

Giants lack a solid #3 WR right now. We have Tim Carter who is really fast but drops everything and Jamaar Taylor who is not as fast. David Tyree is there and I hope he is resigned but he needs to be more of a special teams player than WR. Sinorice Moss gives the Giants a fast young receiver at #3 who would really "complete" the offense.

Any of these could change with a free agent signing though
