If they don’t resign Ahmad Bradshaw, they’re left with Brandon Jacobs and 2011 7th round pick Da’Rel Scott at running back. They either need to resign Bradshaw, or if they’re afraid of his fumbling issues, sign a different running back in free agency.

Middle Linebacker

They can do a lot worse than Phillip Dillard and Jonathan Goff at middle linebacker, but they can do a lot better. Assuming Greg Jones steps up at strong side linebacker, this is the only glaring hole on their whole defense.

Draft Needs 

Middle Linebacker

Phillip Dillard and Jonathan Goff aren’t cutting it at middle linebacker. This was one of their biggest needs last offseason and it remains their biggest need this offseason, with so few needs.

Outside Linebacker

Clint Sintim never panned out. Michael Boley can’t stay healthy. Keith Bulluck is a 34 year old free agent. One, if not two, new outside linebackers will be brought in this offseason.

Drafted Greg Jones (#185), Drafted Jacquain Williams (#202) 

Running Back

The soon to be 29 year old Brandon Jacobs won’t be around much longer. His relationship with the team is rocky at best. Ahmad Bradshaw is an injury prone free agent who hasn’t proven he can carry the load. This team will have several options in the 2^nd round at running back including Ryan Williams, Daniel Thomas, and Mikel Leshoure.

Drafted Da’Rel Scott (#221) 

Defensive Tackle

The Giants love to build on their defensive line so defensive tackle will be a position they will target early in the draft. Chris Canty and his massive contract have disappointed and Barry Cofield is a free agent. Linval Joseph didn’t play much in his first year and, once again, this team loves depth at the position. Stephen Paea could be the pick at 19 if they see him as BPA.

Drafted Marvin Austin (#52) 

Cornerback

Aaron Ross can’t stay healthy. Depth is needed behind Ross, Corey Webster, and Terrell Thomas.

Drafted Prince Amukamara (#52) 

Center

Shaun O’Hara is a soon to be 34 year old center who has a lot of injury problems and an expiring contract after 2011.

Offensive Tackle

Depth is needed at the offensive tackle position. William Beatty has not panned out.

Drafted James Brewer (#117)
