How early...

[Mr. Scot]

...would you be willing to draft an offensive lineman?

Conventional wisdom is our first rounder will likely be used on a defensive tackle, receiver, or safety. Those spots are popular picks among fans, and chances are if your favorite spot isn't what the first rounder goes for, you'll want it to be pick number two. With no third rounder (unless trades are made) the next spot is in the fourth round.

But how would you feel if the team used its second rounder on a Big Ugly; say, Barrett Jones out of Alabama for example?

If not then, are you good with the team waiting until round four or later to pick someone to play in the trenches (and protect Newton)?

[Jakob]

First round if Gettlemania thinks it is what we need.

[XClown1986]

In the second round i would really only consider Fluker (wont be there probably), Warford, or Justin Pugh

[Razeyfingers]

I like big guys, they compete n stuff. I dont know how good Warmack is but its not a top ten pick so I couldnt complain but DT is a very pressing matter at the moment. If we get multiple "Big Uglies" I will be happy. I would really like to find a decent journeyman to slide in to SS but I wouldnt be surprised to see us go there also in the draft. Safety seems to be a position that you master after being in the league a couple of years.

[Mr. Scot]

I'm thinking positionally, to tell the truth. Just mentioned Jones as an example.

But if you have particular players you like, by all means, say so.

[nagai]

I'm fine with drafting an OL anywhere in the draft. Fluker at 14? Sure. Trade up for Johnson or Warmack? I can live with that too.

[Gallagher]

If Cooper is there at 14, I say we take him without hesitation.

[The Golden Child]

We need an upgrade at RT. If one of the big 3 falls to 14, we jump on him. It's not exciting or sexy but it's something that must be done.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I'd take one with our first pick if he's the best player. I don't think one position is more important than another

[LinvilleGorge]

I would only want a LT at #14 if we did decide to go the OL route. At #44, I would consider interior players as well. I do NOT want an OG at #14.

[Second_Solution]

Considering we didn't address our offensive line issues in free agency I would like to see us draft a guard or tackle in the first two rounds. I'm sure that we will add depth closer towards the season when players are cut, but I would like to find someone who can start for the next ten years.

I think you can't look at one position over another unless you have a good understanding of who you think will be there at each pick and how you judge who you have on your own team. For example, right tackle is a popular speculation about the O line. You have to look at who we have, Bell, Campbell and Williams and decide if you are okay with one of them or have to upgrade. then decide if there are guys in the fourth who would be clear upgrades. If so then maybe you go NT in the second and OT/G in the fourth. If you think that position is the most critical, and there would be no upgrades in the fourth or later, you have to pull the trigger in the second. If there is a run on NTs in the first then maybe you have to pull the trigger in the second. If there isn't then you can get the guy you want down the line.

So my answer would be I would be fine in the second or fourth or later if they were the BPA, were a definite upgrade and fit the type of guy we needed.

i am mostly just waiting to see how gettleman steers the ship in this draft. maybe he will depart from giants history of not drafting OL in the first 3 rounds in large part. it is so nice to imagine the guy with his finger on the button (so to speak) being able to confidently project draftees to the modern NFL by relying on a mountain of relevant experience in player evaluation.

[PhillyB]

personally I'd prefer to find a veteran free agent somewhere for a decent price to fill in at RG, allowing OL as a luxury pick for rounds 4-6.
