I know the team ridiculously well. There are some weaknesses there and big choices to be made. Love the defense. Depending on what is done this offseason they could be super bowl contenders. 

Ya they do have some major holes.  I have watched them a lot the last couple of years and this is the first year in which I watched them where their O really did not produce. At times it was really rough, especially given the talent they have on the outside. Their d kept them in so many games, but as always with the giants you feel like you are a light switch away from the O clicking and then going on a super bowl roll. Eli does need some major protection help though and a real run game. In many ways they remind me of the ravens last year, but I would say better

WOOHOO! I am guaranteed a team with a QB.

Good. I'll take your big board of teams if the process lengthens. Am in the middle of exams so I'll be on a computer all day.

The Ravens and Giants are similar in a lot of aspects in recent years. Both teams are very close to making a serious run. Ravensfanmania and I have discussed it many times.

Saints are in a much better situation cap-wise than they were last year for sure

Any thoughts on if they the Giants Franchise JPP or if there are rumours of a long term contract...I will be honest I plan on tagging him just because I know how FA works in this game (sorry if I am not allowed to say this yet or bursting anyones bubble.) I do remember him saying he didn't want another short term or one year contract, but obviously the tag puts him in a spot where he doesn't get to negotiate that so much, other than holding out of TC. They really need depth on the line but the idea of two higher priced DE may be tough for them to do while still adding solid depth guys.

I'd imagine that if we weren't Ravens fans, the Steelers would always go a lot earlier.  Seem to always have a strong roster with a few needs.

It's a tough situation. I think both sides want him in NY, but it's just a matter of if the numbers work for both. There is merit to keeping him or letting him go.

I get it. It's why I leaned towards the Steelers instead of certain other teams

As a Giants fan, I already knew this was an alternative fact. Didn't need to look up anything.

Yep, already made the pick, just need to wait for the approval. I'm actually quite happy with the team, considering the pick was quite low. ^^

Went to the Twickenham game against the Rams with the Collins interception.

It was the one he ran 100yards to get a touchdown.

He said he already made his pick, but he's on the probationary post count.

Can his pick be posted and we move on or does it have to be authorized first !?

[rmw10]

@Yatagarasu you can delete that post in the team selection thread and put your actual team in now.  I got capitano's pick from him and posted a placeholder until his is approved.

[rmw10]

@RavensFanMania is up followed by @T3hRaven and @regz1997

Exactly my thought.^^ I was surprised to see the Steelers fall that far down when it's purely about their roster and set up, but then again you'll have to factor that in aswell.

 

I'm most surprised by the very early Jaguars pick by the way, I get that they have a nice young core and a lot of cap room, but still thought some teams would be valued higher.
