NGT Jags cut Ben Koyack TE

Mr. Nickels : 9/5/2015 2:03 am
He was intriguing in the draft; worth a look?
He is a blocking TE too

He is worth a look. A TE combination of Donnell, Cunningham (or Fells) and Koyack is not a bad idea. He is young, can block and has an upside. I wanted the Giants to draft him late in this years draft. Fells is what he is and Robinson is useless. Koyack serves the roll of a young blocking TE with decent hands.
You'd have to believe

Koyack would be an upgrade over Robinson. I liked his play in college. Would be a nice in-line blocking TE for the Giants.
The Giants are strange

They use their TEs a lot but refuse to upgrade the position.
He's supposed to be a good blocker and weak receiver.

He's big, but slow and not quick. He might be a good compliment to Donnell.
Pick him up

Liked him before the drat. Slipped to 7th round,,and being cut is not a good sign, the position needs improvement
I'd

Love to have him but this team will probably stay out with what they got and that's unfortunate
Guy that was cut by one of the worst teams in the NFL

The fact they have Julius Thomas and Marcedes Lewis means he had to beat out Clay Harbor, who would compete to be a starter on our roster, sad to say.

Just because a team sucks doesnt mean all of their players do. JT Thomas? Besides, we had one of the worst teams in the league last year as well. Where is all this talent on the Giants that would make it so hard for him to stick?
really Blueblood? Are the Giants reigning champs? Hardly.

And the Giants TEs are a weak group
the Jags  
area junc : 9/5/2015 9:08 am : link
are pretty stacked at TE
i'd do it  
mirwin : 9/5/2015 9:44 am : link
in place of fells, still gotta keep Cunningham he's probably gonna be useful in green zone 2 pt attempts
I like what Cunningham brings to the table  
Sy'56 : 9/5/2015 9:59 am : link
But if NYG needs a young TE for the mix, I'd be all over Koyack. He has had a solid preseason, albeit against lesser competition.
Koyack got caught in the numbers game in

Jacksonville like many have said. Besides being reasonably talented, he played TE, at Notroe Dame which is a TE "U". They know how to breed TEs there. Most of ND's TE crops play years in the NFL.
The problem with claiming Koyack...  
Big Blue Blogger : 9/5/2015 10:33 am : link
...is that he probably needs a year of weight work and pro coaching before he can do the job they would be acquiring him for. He has the frame and attitude to be a Fasano-type #2 TE, but in the near term, he might actually be a downgrade from Daniel Fells.

Where you want Koyack, for at least the early part of 2015, is the practice squad. Assuming the scouts like him at all, I'd pay extra to get him there. The Jags will bid for him, and others might too. I think he's worth more to the Giants. I just don't think there's a roster spot for him on a team that needs immediate help in the running game.
I would be all over Gerod Holliman

Excellent ball skills, but absolutely terrible tackling. Still, some of it will be covered by Landon Collins.
