Assumptions:

1. <!--[endif]-->Tom Coughlin retires

Coaching:

1. While I would *prefer* to hire a DC-oriented head coach, I have a feeling that they’re going to promote McAdoo. Just a hunch. Therefore, I will do this same.

2. <!--[endif]-->Spags stays on as DC

3. <!--[endif]-->McAdoo hires someone better at playcalling as OC. Who, I don’t know yet.

Defense

1. <!--[endif]-->Resign JPP to 6 years, $48 million

2. <!--[endif]-->Sign Von Miller to a 6 year, $66 million

3. <!--[endif]-->Sign Wilkerson to 4 years, $60 million

4. <!--[endif]-->Resign ayers to 2 years, $6 million

5. <!--[endif]-->Resign Prince to 4 years, $36 million

6. <!--[endif]-->Sign Tashaun Gipson to 6 years, $36 million

Offense

1. Sign Mohammed Sanu to 2 years, $4 million

2. <!--[endif]-->Restructure Victor Cruz, Will Beatty

The Draft

I don’t have enough knowledge yet about everybody in the draft to make specific picks, but I do know the general tendencies of this draft and will do my best to describe what my goal will be in the first 3 rounds.

Round 1: I would go DL/passrusher #1 in the draft

Round 2: Best WR available here – replace Reuben Randle and give Eli another weapon

Round 3: Best defensive player available. Personally, I’d go LB, but until proven otherwise I will never assume that Jerry Reese picks a LB before the 5th.

Starting Offense:

QB: Eli Manning

RB: Orleans Darkwa, Shane Vereen

WR: Odell Beckham Jr, Victor Cruz, Dwayne Harris, Mohammed Sanu, Geremy Davis, drafted WR

TE: Will Tye, Jerome Cunningham, Larry Donnell

LT: Ereck Flowers

LG: Justin Pugh

C: Weston Richburg

RG: Geoff Schwartz

RT: Will Beatty

I would switch Beatty to RT because I see Flowers-Pugh-Richburg as the future of the left side of the O-line and would prefer to let them get more chemistry together. For the rest of the offense, I would do a spread-WCO attack, especially since I don’t have a true blocking TE.

Starting Defense:

LDE: JPP

RDE: Ayers

DT: Jonathan Hankins, Muhammed Wilkerson

SLB: Von Miller

MLB: Devon Kennard

WLB: JT Thomas

CB: DRC, Prince Amukamara

FS: Tashuan Gipson

SS: Landon Collins

I would like to return to the days where our passrushers were treated like royalty. Hence, the large amounts of resources devoted to Ayers, Wilkerson, and Miller. I see Von Miller performing a role similar to Kiwanuka as a LB, coming onto the DL on passing downs. Because of this, I shift Kennard into the middle. Gipson, on the other hand, seems to me to be the most underrated free agent in this upcoming year. I think if we sign him and resign Prince, we’ll have a complete secondary for the next few years.
