it's anyone's game at this point but there should be at least 1 as coughlin has had i think 34 total since 2004.
Ben Edwards WR Richmond
Kenneth Harper RB Temple
Carlif Taylor DT Southern Connecticut
Will Tye TE Stony Brook
Justin Currie S Western Michigan
Sean Donnelly T Tulane
Cole Farrand LB Maryland
Akeem Hunt RB Purdue
Brad Harrah DE Cincinnati
Matt Lacosse TE Illinois
I Think It could either Farrand, Harper, Taylor, Tye, Lacosse, or Currie at this point.
Donnelly has great size and feet. I give him a shot.
Cole Farrand I'm also hoping can sneak in there somehow.
Also that other bigass tackle who is taller than Flowers. If they can coach him up and he can produce, it'll be nice to have some big boys who can play on the O-line depth chart.
Sorry if this is off thread discussion, but it seems this would be helpful. The UDFA are an interesting group & the lower draft picks are clearly developmental types.
agree on those three being most likely IMO.
James Butler, Chase Blackburn, Derrick Ward...
Lacosse I give the edge over Tye because the Giants signed him as a UDFA outright rather than giving him a tryout invite and signing him from there. Also is a bit taller which Tom Coughlin seems to prefer in his TE

Oh, and Rich Seubert, too.
The downside, of course, it the risk of a waiver claim. But for the Matt LaCosses, Will Tyes and Cole Ferrands of the world, that's not a huge gamble. Once they clear waivers and sign on to the PS, the risk of losing them drops considerably. That's because practice squad members can't be "claimed"; they are free agents, and can negotiate the best deal available. Other teams can offer them contracts, but the Giants can still counter.
I'm surprised that Currie is seen as having a good chance at the 53-man. He's up against five recent draft picks - Taylor, Berhe, Jackson, Collins and Thompson - for probably four spots. I guess Taylor can be counted on to get dinged in camp - if not sooner.
I'm surprised that Currie is seen as having a good chance at the 53-man. He's up against five recent draft picks - Taylor, Berhe, Jackson, Collins and Thompson - for probably four spots. I guess Taylor can be counted on to get dinged in camp - if not sooner.
5 draft picks, but almost 0 experience between them. I'm not sure any of them except Collins is a lock for the team.

So Flowers, & Odi have no experience in a major conference & are in jeopardy of being cut. We need a knucklehead filter on this site
That one seems easy to me. Because at FSU, Tye had Nick O'Leary, who was in his same class, and an All-American and John Mackey Award winner, ahead of him:
"After considering entering the 2014 NFL Draft, O'Leary returned to Florida State for his senior season. During his senior season he set Florida State's record for career receptions for a tight end. He again was a finalst for the John Mackey Award, this time winning it. He was also named a consensus All-American."
Don't get me wrong. I'm rooting for the kid just as I root for every player in blue - especially the underdogs. But I doubt even the Giants expect much from him in 2015.
I don't know BBB, he makes a good story and I like his athleticism
Not trying to be a smartass, but maybe you should qualify "very good" so far as Fells is concerned?
Hunt and Currie will at the least, make the practice squad, maybe the team
