Without a doubt, this years draft can be make or break for the New York Giants. Looking back to all the great Giant teams of the past, they were all built from successful drafts. The Parcells teams of the 80's were virtually built from scratch with legendary players such as: Lawrence Taylor, Joe Morris, Carl Banks, Mark Collins, Mark Bavaro, Maurice Carthon, Leonard Marshall, Bart Oates, and the list goes on and on. It was this core of young talent who were added to the existing veterans such as Phil Simms, George Martin and Harry Carson to produce the most dominant Giants team ever assembled.

By 1990, the draft class from the early to mid 80's became the core veterans, and George Young and Bill Parcells had added a couple more vital pieces through the draft such as Rodney Hampton, Jumbo Elliot, Doug Riesenburg, Dave Meggett, Stephen Baker and Mark Ingram. This ultimately put them over the top during their improbable run that culminated in one of the most dramatic super bowl victories in NFL history against the Buffalo Bills.
