I forgot to add due to character limits, I restructured Jacobs and Cant and cut D.J. Ware, Ramses Barden, Jim Cordle, David Diehl, Mitch Petrus, Spencer Paysinger, Clint Simtin, Chad Jones, Brian Witherspoon

WhatTheFrac Daddy?

They let Diehl, Grant and Goff all leave?

Diehl had a bad year, and at $4 million, he's too expensive. Goff is a FA, and is replacable. Grant is aging and, like last year, will look for a better offer than Giants will offer until possibly the last minute. At that point, it may be too late.

man,........credit to you [frac] for having the patience to type all that !

.....maybe some of your giants will ''jump-ship'' to my pats and bring some ~energy~ !?

Why would they trade Osi Umenyoira on draft day? I've got to think that, Umenyiora out of the deal, the Giants might be able to trade for a 2nd-rounder and a 2012 2nd-or-3rd-rounder as well. They could easily deal him otherwise for a 2nd-rounder, I've got to imagine.

I predict that the NFC North puts three teams in the playoffs in 2012-2013...So unless you are the lucky dog out of the NFC East again... it is a mute point!!!!!

I believe, straight up, they can get a 2nd Rnd from teams like Browns, Seahawaks, or Bills. They may trade before draft day, but, remember, the 1st Round is now a full day before Rnd 2 and later rounds. Reese can wait to the 1st Round is over to trade Osi for a 2nd Round. A team like the Seahawks or Browns could panic and try and get their QB with the Giants no. 32. A future 1st in 2013 would likely be top 10 from either team.

My question was, why wait until draft day to trade him? And as a package deal with a draft pick? I didn't iterate all of my thoughts on it, sorry.

In this league, coaches and GMs just can't get enough of the pass rushers. Osi Umenyiora is a pass rushing talent on a team that has a whole lot of it. The big market and demand for Umenyiora can and will drive up the trading price past what it is really worth. I believe that, if the Giants sweetened the pot a little bit with their 2nd round pick (maybe even their third*), they could land a pick in the first round. (*depending on where in the first round this pick is)

In terms of a 4-3 team that needs a defensive end, here are my most likely potential landing spots:

- Jacksonville. Do I really need to explain this one? No. Just a sad team in every single non-MJD way.

- Cincinnati. I like them in the contest to sign Mike Wallace if the Steelers can't retain him. But if they miss on Mike, they could definitely swing for Umenyiora if they wanted to. They have the cap room and could certainly stand to make the upgrade. Plus, come on - it's not like the Bengals are short on draft picks (Thanks, Oakland!)

- Chicago. If they don't land V-Jax, they'll probably have the cap room to pull this off. Julius Peppers and Osi Umenyiora as the starting defensive ends? Scary.

- Tennessee. They need to get pass rush from somewhere.
