Where will Mathias Kiwanuka line up next season?

Offensively, the biggest area of concern has to be the line. If everything stays the same -- meaning Kevin Boothe is not re-signed and an immediate starter is not chosen in the 2013 NFL Draft -- I would think David Diehl starts at left guard and James Brewer at right tackle. We are a long way from the start of training camp, however, so I wouldn't obsess over this just yet.

Defensively, I see a couple of things that could change. First, Ourlads has Mathias Kiwanuka listed at strong side linebacker. I have to believe at this point that Kiwanuka will be moved to defensive end full time, although no one from the Giants has said that. That leaves Keith Rivers at the SAM.

Also, Ourlads had Terrell Thomas listed ahead of Prince Amukamara at right cornerback. That's not reality, so I took the liberty of changing it.
