Official UDFA signed by Giants thread

is an interesting player. Needs strength but could be a target up the middle (at least in training camp)

Giants are trying to get...

Cameron Clear (TE, Texas A&M)

Mike Hull (LB, Penn St.)

Taiwan Jones (LB, Michigan St)

Durrell Eskridge (FS, Syracuse)

Cody Prewitt (FS, Ole Miss)

Anthony Harris (S, Virginia)

Derrick Lott (DT, Tennessee-Chattanooga)

One of the fastest guys in the Draft!

Hull, Luc and Vigil now

Rory "Busta" Anderson (TE, South Carolina)

didn't the 49'ers pick him?

as there will be comments mixed in on this thread the following link should be helpful.

Nfl.com scouting report on #Giants 1st UDFA Lacosse: "Tall, angular frame with more meat needed through his lower body."

LaCosse

Super fast. He's as good as any player in college in the open field with tremendous breakaway ability

Let's go get Zenner!

Me and some other folks think we see something more in this kid, and that he can play in the NFL. If we're wrong, you've still got a great camp-body.

The way the Giants usually end up decimated at one position, and with the pounding that RB's take, I REALLY WANT THIS KID!

40?

damnit

SHEET! must be the weather!

connor orr said the giants had interest in the draft, but were not willing to take the risk. There seems to be no risk now.

LOL!

Think his probation officer would let him relocate?

Boiler-up !!!

Durrell Eskridge, Bobby Richardson and/or Reese Dismukes (Rimington Award winner), I'm a happy camper. Also like Josue Mattias and Ladarius Gunter

To the Cowboys (shocking, right?)

On second thought, maybe the Chargers would be willing to trade once they realize he can only run on ice and snow. I know a 5th round safety that they need!

Congrats to our guy LB #ColeFarrand on signing with the @Giants! #Local #NewYork #FutureStar

wow! nice find!

sounds interesting. There's a lot of running backs on the roster but you wouldn't really consider any of them 'speedsters'. Hope he sticks.

He had 6 games this past season with 10 or more tackles including 18 (14 solo) vs. Michigan St. and 19 (11 solo) vs. Indiana. Will have to make the team through specials though

Quote:

STRENGTHS Plays with consistent toughness at the point of attack. Will fight through impediments to get to the ball. Gap responsible. Steady tackler when he gets his shot. WEAKNESSES Lacks NFL athleticism. Struggles to protect against cut blocks and stay on his feet. Marginal instincts and looks lost at times against spread attacks. Cannot stay with running backs out of the backfield and is below average in pass coverage in general. Too slow to track outside runs and plays with poor angles. DRAFT PROJECTION Undrafted BOTTOM LINE Not instinctive or athletic. Can't hang his hat on coverage ability or run-stuffing acumen. He's an inside linebacker with limited range who must prove he can be a special-teams monster to make it.

But, good size. 6'3", 245.

I have no idea but I clicked the NFL.com profile and had to laugh: Thought of our boy Chase Blackburn

Does nothing well but there he is doing something, and he tries hard. Not good vs the run or pass but a steady tackler...lol

Farrand NFL.com Profile - ( New Window )

should have been La'el Collins .... 1st off he is a need even if he was not a need you trade him for a future 1st or 2nd rd pick ... buy low sell high and if goes down you lose a buck not 1,000 bucks....

It was an blank check for the taking....

Hickey and Eskridge

Eskridge to the Jets. Hackett to the Buccaneers.



So only Kurtis Drummond is left from the FS that I like :'(

how many guys went to other teams and we have two guys. Chargers have like 15.

Quality, not quantity!




And Sean Hickey signs with the Saints

Justin Dunk ‏@JDunk12 1m1 minute ago Guelph, Ontario
Sources: #Calgary #Dinos OL Sean McEwen has accepted a mini-camp invite from the #Giants.

don't have space to sign 1000 UDFA, Patricia Traina said earlier today they will only have 3 spots open (possibly more with players being injured, JJP not being signed etc)

Patricia Traina @Patricia_Traina � 4h 4 hours ago

Giants will have 87 rostered names once draft is done. But I'm not sure if Troy Kropog , who was placed on PUP counts.

That's not even UDFA. He still has to earn a contract to get to training camp.

isn't he about 180 pounds?

Good point. Forgot about that. If I'm a prospect I rather take a UFDA contract than just be an invitee to a rookie mini-camp.

OK, I laughed. That was funny, supportive of the pick or not.

But it is accurate. Giants actually don't have much room for UDFAs. I think they had to cut some guys for the draft.

Congrats to my man @JustinCurrie33 signing with the NY Giants!! Looks like I have a new favorite team. Good luck brotha!

when he posts a "The Giants are trying to get" list of UDFAs with a bunch of guys who were drafted.

On the other hand, it would explain s the Giants' third-day problems if they keep trying to go after guys who are already off the board.

Picturing 5th round:
Marc Ross: "We're taking Shaq Thompson."

NFL official: "Shaq Thompson? He was drafted already, Marc. Not available."

Marc Ross: "I knew that! I meant that other Thompson, you know, um, er... um... oh, yeah, Mykkele Thompson. Yeah, that's the ticket. Mykkele Thompson."
