It's the bye week for the Giants why has there been so little activity to solve the WR problem on this team. I just can't understand how the Giants expect to win many games with Parker and Ogletree as the 3rd WR on this team. From all reports Washington is a redshirt year so he does not even come into the discussion. This team presently has no one at WR or HB who brings real big play speed to the field.
The Pats have Josh Boyce, on the practice squad 5-11, 205 lbs, 23 years old with 4.34 speed. He can play in the slot or outside and return kickoffs why no interest in this guy? He could even line up in the backfield for a change of pace look. Does Ogletree have more upside or ability than this guy I would think not.
Who else is out there that could help this team before the wheels fall off the wagon with one or two more losses in the next three weeks?
then again.. I haven't followed him since the draft so I don't know what his situation is up there in New England.. just thought he was decent value in the 4th round at the time..
regardless.. I think the Giants were looking more for a vet with some more NFL experience rather then a prospect to develop.. I think Kevin Ogletree is more on our team as a reserve..
it seems with the extremely unfortunate injury to Cruz the Giants plan right now is Beckham, Randle, and Parker..
i wouldn't assume washington is a redshirt. i think he might start seeing the field in the second half of the season. situationally. anyway, if you bring in someone else's PS WR it would only take his reps away. what sense is that? might as well develop the guy we've been developing.
Ogletree is a vet and a pro. his FLOOR is way higher then a young player in the short term - This season. There are players with higher ceilings, but they won't be able to help the team this year. we already have a developmental guy on our 53 - who it sounds like you would like to see play. i know i would.

And Parker has, fairly anonymously, made plays wherever he has played previously. He's a good complimentary player. He has some off the field stuff in his past that has hurt his career, though.
Odell is the clear speed guy on the outside. Randle is a Manningham at best with barely enough speed to get it done. We need that second WR like nicks in his prime that catches everything and can turn it into something big. Could be donnell.

Holliday wasn't making the Giants because he couldn't do anything but return kicks. There isn't really room on the 53 man for a returner only much less the 45 man.
