As it relates to the New York Giants, the article starts out well for Gary Davenport. An initial statement from his predictions from June 26, 2017 makes perfect sense:
“One of the great mysteries of the universe is why Giants general manager Jerry Reese refuses to invest resources (be it money or draft capital) in linebackers. Every year, it’s a clear area of need. Every year, he does next to nothing about it.”
Most New York Giants fans would wholeheartedly concur. In fact, many fans were clearly upset that the G-Men passed on Zach Cunningham (Vanderbilt) and Reuben Foster (Alabama).
