With the NFL Draft ten days away and approaching rapidly, now is as good a time as any to revisit the Giants stable of personnel. A quick peek at the roster and the holes are clear to see: 1. Outside wide receiver quality and quantity 2. Presence of a fully functional tight end 3. LEFT TACKLE 4. Youth and athleticism on the inside of the defensive front 5. A familiar Giants theme — game altering talent at SLB and WLB 6. Another body at free safety to ostensibly replace Will Hill 7. Overall positional depth is saturated with practice squad caliber players.
