Tough question, but we need to draft DEFENSE and find starters and develop serious depth. ConkIin wouldn't be a bad pick, and he may very well be selected here, but think Lee is more athletic and has tremendous upside that can land him in the conversation of the great Giant LB's of all time . The man is a stud and he is still raw but is really quick and can play all three downs. It has been way too long since we had a fast, I mean fast linebacker. Let's grab his teammate Vonn Bell in round 2 if we are fortunate enough to have him available.

This was a hard one for me but I think there is more of a need for a tackle especially with the right side of our line. I believe we have two sold linebackers in a 4-3 system with the addition of Keenan Robinson and Devon Kennard who I think will continue to grow. We do need another lb but I think we need a tack more crucially. I say Conklin would be the better pick to address.

Both players would address needs but the Gmen have been consisently roasted by tight ends and running backs on short to intermediate routes for way to long. We so badly need a linebacker with speed that can play sideline to sideline.

Big Blue has had two problems, stopping the run, especially a qb that can run, but also keeping defenders off Eli. They have shored up the defense through free agency fairly well so I think the first need is to protect Eli. If you can't keep your qb from getting mauled or not able to score, you can't win. Linebacker needs to go second round.

The Giants were 6th in offensive scoring with last years O-Line but yet went 6-10. Why was that? Defense couldn't get off the field on 3rd and longs. Half the time they didn't even have a 3rd down because the other teams were getting good yards on 1st and 2nd down. Giants needs LB'some more than they needed a O-Linemen to groom. Especially when they're in a win now mode.

I would pick Lee over Conklin by a small margin. The reason is that I believe that we could pick up a very good OT in the second round like Ifedi, Spriggs, or Coleman. I don't see an LB in the second round that would be as effective as Lee. Lee is younger and a red shirt sophomore and thus has a great upside to improve. I believe that we could get a good WR in the 3rd round and a FS like Powell, Davis, Green, Dillon or convert Bradberry in the 4th. Then the 5th and 6th round could be for special teams and back ups like LBs Feeney , Schobert , Martinez, Rhoders, FS Houston-Carson, Simmons WRs Addison, Duate, McRoberts , Jordon, OT Toner, Haeg etc. GO BIG BLUE

i agree 100% with what people are sayin on how we ned tomake our oline better for eli but I think itshouldnt be alabout eli pass protection thinkiy should be about an oline who canopen up holes for the rungame that has been dorment for yearsbecuz of the rb bycomitte concept that's been a bust yhinking yes Conklin in the first round then a lb in the second round!! hey whoknows maybe gery rease can pulla rabit out of his hat and get it done!!

Giants need a bookend right tackle. Fliers and Conklin will solidify the online for the nextv10 years. Everyone improves on offense because of it. Eli wins a 3rd Super Bowl and gets into the Hall.

Jack Conklin would be a better pick for this reason; we don't have a left tackle with the loss of Will Beaty. With Conklin and Flowers at the tackle spots and Pugh and Richburg on the inside. We would be a better passing team and we would have a better running game and we need that back more than anything.

We need a LB who is fast and can cover with great range & takling ability!!! Darren Lee is perfect!

Keep loading up that defense. We need to get back to our '86 "D"
Our weakest point is linebacker. Fix that position and let's get another trophy.

I think,that jack conklin would be the better fit for the GIANTS offensive front because, having more strength and power will increase the offense giving Eli more time to throw.
Got to take Conklin. OL would be complete then
