Tight End is certainly an urgent need but there were still good o linemen available...can't believe they passed up. Especially for a back...just not a good move IMO. They get good quality lower rounds though. I just hope they fix the o line needs. Agreed, the Eagles and Cowboys made great picks. RG3 isn't so much the ? in my mind but if they can fix the things around him.

I don't think the Skins are in that bad of a position with supporting cast. They have a good defense. Two nice edge rushers, Cofield I like as NT, Fletcher still plays like an absolute beast in the middle. The secondary needs work, but I think he's going to a better situation than people like Luck or Bradford did. They have one of the better TEs in the league with Davis, a bunch of number 2 receivers which isn't bad. I don't know. He could step in and make them good enough to beat some playoffs teams I think.

We'll see what the Giants do, but so far I think the NFC E have had amazing drafts. 

Draft time.
I'm not really too into all this draft madness, I just hope the Giants address their needs.

Which is:
1- O line
2- Back 7 defense
3- A good wideout.

The receiver is not as critical as the first two, but we've seen what Eli can do with 3 good targets.
O line is a must, fix that sh*tty ass run game and let Eli be even better, unless he functions best when under pressure 70% of the time

I'd say a linebacker is critical but...well we've ignored it for years and manage to escape, the secondary is more important anyway.

Get some help for Bradshaw and Eli, shore up the D a bit, and hopefully add a big wideout and I see the G men maybe winning the next 3 Super Bowls

Shame, I always liked the Saints.

Much as it pains me, I wonder if rampant cheating (as in more than usual "dirty football things") is more common than we think.
Remember the Packers got in trouble for the same bounty thing a few years ago, but it pretty much got ignored.
(Again, must be great to be one of the most popular teams)

And...well everyone from the Belicheck umbrella seems to be a cheat.

Guess this is why it's best to stop caring about fairness in sports lolol

Ah well that explains it.
In that case you're right though as Catcher said it's more or less an end around.
