Another good player that the Giants don't need.
It is understandable that Robbins is aging and will eventually need a replacement. However, he just had a career year, so I doubt he will be going anywhere anytime soon.
Either way, Alford is a tweener. He doesn't have the power required to be a DT on the next level and lacks the speed for a DE.
I do like his pass rushing ability. He had 14.5 tackles for a loss, 8 sacks, 2 FF and 2 fumble recoveries his senior year at Penn State. I think he will be an exceptional rotation player next season and will eventually start in a few years just like Kiwanuka.
I don't mind having Kawika Mitchell and Antonio Pierce as our 2 main LBs. They are both proven and are excellent at stopping the run. I am not entirely sure if Wilkinson is ready to start since he really didn't receive much pt last season. I really hope Reese re-signs Brandon Short for insurance because he was solid last season.
LT still remains a large problem that should have been solved with this pick. I don't really think Reese will be able to find a starting caliber OT with a low 4th round pick. If one like Doug Free is available, he absolutely MUST take him.
