I wouldn’t be surprised if the Giants went for a tackle in the first round this year. Beatty has been very good for us but I don’t know if the Giants can afford to tag him. But Lane Johnson or DJ Fluker might be around at 19…

He use to be a great Swiss army knife along that offensive line but he’s no longer a serviceable tackle. His more natural position is guard anyway.

I see Beatty coming back, and Diehl playing guard if they can’t resign Kevin Boothe too. Matt McCants and maybe another veteran, who is brought in, will compete for the right tackle spot.

The guy had a great career and got more out of his ability then any guy I ever saw. But he can’t do it.

Maybe, they are looking to reduce his salary and have him be depth or the swing man.

Personally, I think we need to do everything we can do to get Boothe back and get Beatty back.

I think Baas can be a very good center. When he is healthy, he is a mauler. Boothe is a heck of a player.

We need to get younger on the o-line, and this is the draft to do it.

I believe that you have to draft good o-linemen when you can, because paying for them in FA the money is too high.

When you can draft and develop them, that is the best way to stay within your cap.

he should of been first along with snee
———-
Whoa, whoa, WHOA. Snee took a step back (even before he injured the hip), but slow down. Beatty was very good, Boothe was the best on the line, Baas was at least TOLERABLE this year, as opposed to 2011 when he nearly got Eli killed, but Snee can still get the job done at RG. It’s that pesky RT position that has given us fits for the past 2+ years (aside from Locklear’s excellent stint there) that needs addressing. That’s probably the only reason why they haven’t cut Diehl yet. Probably waiting to see how soon Locklear will heal. God knows we cannot put Brewer over there yet (if ever).

At 32 when he torn up his ACL, old-ass Locklear came in and the team went to 6-2.
After re-inserting Diehl, he got blown up, slow, and slower.
Giants are holding him until Beatty is inked, and maybe Boothe, but he may test the FA market, he is 28 north and it will be his last big check, assuming someone wants him.
THEN, Webster; Kenny Phillips; Barden; Bennett; Blackburn; and Mr Diehl either get low ball offers or get cut.
I like Bennett, he’s only 25 and we can’t keep filliping TE’s, but Reese does his job, and it will look like a new team!
CT GIANT

I thought he was a steal in the fourth; big training camp coming up for him.

He was even benched this year. I’m sure if he doesn’t take a pay cut he’ll be out the door. Signing Beatty is an absolute MUST in the next few weeks. We do not really have any other serviceable tackles, and he has been very good.

Before 2012, he played in a million games in a row. Giants should extend him for a few more years and drop his cap number down especially since the rest of the line is all banged up.

He’s at ease, personable, and a natural in front of the camera ….something Tiki had to ‘cultivate’.

He’s too slow to play tackle.
