Examining the Giants' draft profile

NFL, New York Giants

Here is a look at the factors that will come into play in the New York Giants draft room:

Decision Makers
Senior vice president and general manager Jerry Reese has done a great job of acquiring talent in his two years at the helm and he learned his craft well under his former mentor Ernie Accorsi. This is a very stable front office with well-defined roles and a very clear philosophy on the acquisition of players. There is little turnover in this group, which makes for a scenario that keeps everybody on the same page. Reese leans on vice president of player evaluation Chris Mara, assistant general manager Kevin Abrams, college scouting director Mark Ross, pro scouting director Dave Gettleman and a veteran scouting staff. Head coach Tom Coughlin takes a keen interest in the draft and he has a legitimate voice with Reese. This may be the most experienced scouting staff in the NFL and they rarely make mistakes. More than any other team, they are true to their board and they don't take a lot of chances or care about what other teams are doing.
