Does the Giants to superbowl = a run at D-line in the draft?

In the 2008 draft after the giants beats the pats with their great d-line (Tuck, osi, strahan) 5 DL were chosen in the top 10: Long, Dorsey, Harvey, Gholston, Ellis. Lawrence Jackson and kentwan Balmer also went in the first round. Long is the only good player of that group. Could something like this happen again this year? I really think we will see a run at Dl after the top 5 pick.

Everyone has been talking about the value of a great pass rush for years, ever since the rules turned this into a passing only arena league. GMs aren't going to make such a knee jerk reaction based on one team making one game; if they invest into their defensive line it's because they were already well aware of its importance.

Based on what I've seen, team needs. I don't see but 2 DL prospects going in the top 10, maybe 3.

Coples, Perry and possibly Brockers/Still (which ever shows the best at the combine and interviews might jump into the top 10-15. This draft is too heavy on the offensive side of the ball though for more then 2 or 3 to get drafted that high.

I'm starting to like the thought of Coples at 8 or 9. I heard he weighed in at 6'5 280 and just looks jacked. Could end up becoming a top 10 lock.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
