Judging by last season’s meltdown on defense, the pundits have been poring over the short list of defensive free agents and eligible draftees the Giants should bring in this spring.
When I look at the roster, the defense is not the only shaky unit I see.
The offensive line is cracking, the running game has disintegrated and – believe it or not – they could use an impact player at tight end.
Plus, if David Carr goes elsewhere, they will need some security at quarterback behind Eli Manning. I don’t think Rhett Bomar is ready for that role yet.
The best part of all of this is that we don’t need to do anything at WR, except sign Steve Smith to long-term deal.
In free agency, the Giants will look to get some holes filled in areas where it makes sense. But on draft day, they will take the best available player on the board.
This has always been the strategy. They need help almost everywhere, so why take a subpar player out of need when they could draft a star at another position? The objective is to better your roster, and I think they will do that in the next two months.

According to National Football Post, Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride and former head coach Jim Fassel are possibilities to replace Tom Cable (who has not yet been fired) as head coach of the Oakland Raiders.
I’d love to see Gilbride get the job, because then the Giants would have a new offensive coordinator, and we wouldn’t have to feel bad about Gilbride losing his job.
