Next Season Talk

So to jump back to a hot topic, let’s play with one of the hottest rumors flying around in Giants world. Let’s take the view that Eli Manning is coming back as the starter for next year. In our current draft spot a quarterback might be available, they might not.

In the scenario that there isn’t a quarterback available, do we beef up the offensive line or do we play the other side of the ball and perhaps grab a pass rusher? In this scenario I would like to see a right tackle taken.

Often times when Eli is sacked fans immediately turn to the offensive line and begin to criticize. For the most part I’ll agree. I think one of the best decisions made over the previous off season, which really was a no brainer, was letting Ereck Flowers walk.

Is Chad Wheeler the solution. Hell no. So back to that scenario. Do we take the best player available or do we possibly reach a bit and plug a dooming hole we have on the offensive line.

If we’re putting all of our chips on Eli and we want to have a chance, I say we have to. It’s not the smartest or best decision by any means, but it’s very possible.
