New York Giants 2007 Draft Preview
Apr 4, 2007, 15:05 GMT
The Giants have two gaping holes to fill. One is at left tackle, where Luke Petitgout was released (and subsequently became a Buccaneer), and Bob Whitfield retired. Trouble is, the only two tackles with bona fide first-round talent are Joe Thomas (Wisconsin) and Levi Brown (Penn State), both of whom will likely go in the Top 10. Unless the G-Men trade up, drafting an LT will be a reach. It looks a lot like left guard David Diehl will be moving over to protect Eli Manning in 2007. The other problem is in the backfield, where the Giants have no one to replace Tiki Barber's production in the receiving game. Barber averaged 64 catches a year over the final eight seasons of his career, while probable 2007 starter Brandon Jacobs has a grand total of 11 receptions in two NFL seasons, and recent acquisition Reuben Droughns is not known for his pass-catching skills. Other areas that should concern Giants fans are wideout, where the team lacks depth; linebacker, where Antonio Pierce is the only player that has been even remotely consistent over the past two years; and the secondary, where the team has had problems in coverage.

Tiki Barber rushed for a franchise record 234 yards and scored three touchdowns as New York downed Washington, 34-28, in the regular season finale, as the Giants drew one step closer to advancing to the playoffs despite a poor showing in the second half of the season. In possibly his last regular season contest, Barber, who announced his plans to retire earlier this season, had a career rushing day and did his part to help his team reach the postseason. The victory puts New York in the driver's seat to make the postseason as the Giants can officially clinch a playoff berth on Sunday with a Green Bay loss or tie to the Chicago Bears. They can also clinch the sixth-seed in the NFC with a strength-of-victory tiebreaker over the Packers if Green Bay wins Sunday night. Eli Manning completed 12- of-26 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown for the Giants (8-8), who came into the game with just one win in their last six games. Jason Campbell was 21-of-31 for 220 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for the Redskins (5-11), who closed out their disappointing season with back-to-back losses.
