RamView Accu-Draft 2013: Pick #19: Giants

Associated Press
Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia

Stunning how bad the Giants defense was last year. They needed a historically-bad season out of the Saints to avoid being the worst defense in the league. They only sacked the QB 33 times. They were bottom 10 against the run, too, giving up over 100 yards in each of their last 6 games. That's where Ogletree, or dare I say this name for the first time this mock draft, Manti Te'o, come into the picture for the Giants. They've done part of the job by signing a bunch of veteran DTs and should have Ogletree at the top of their board for his athleticism, playmaking ability and ability to be a three-down linebacker. Te'o + NYC, on the other hand, is about as bad a combination as I can think of. The Giants also have o-line as a major need, but much like Jeff Fisher claims he doesn't do on purpose, they DO NOT draft o-linemen in the first round, EVER, knowledge which might have helped me on past mock drafts. Sleeper pick here is Bjoern Werner since they need to fill in the DE rotation after losing Osi Umenyiora.


Da Bears are on da clock.
