is as likely to succeed as any player I have seen in years. He has fantastic, ankle breaking quickness, is an excellent route runner, and has tremendous, nearly 10 hands. He also did twenty reps on the bench at the combine. He is the ultimate slot receiver. He has similarities to Tyler Lockett, who the Giants wanted to draft in the third round last year.
The production of the draft on ESPN is atrocious, they skip half of the picks. As soon as the Giants where about to make the pick they cut to a commercial and have since ignored it altogether.
I think everyone agrees that WR is a huge need, and by almost universal accounts, we got a really good one. The draft isn't over, we can get an OL next.
I doubt it. Cruz seems like the epitome of a team guy, the sort who will help Shepard as much as possible.
I like this draft a lot now. Yeah fine, I wanted Jack, and I'm fairly certain that if we *do* address the LB position it'll be in the form of some obligatory 4th-round reach, but at least the guys we got are exciting.
Cruz and OBJ on the outside with Shepard in the slot? We are going to have to roll that way some of the time to have our best 3 out there. Cruz might be brought along slowly we'll see.
Well done Giants.
Shepard grade: A. Love this player. He is more than just a solid receiver. I think he can be like Randall Cobb.

Reese said that some Giants scouts considered Sterling Shepard "a young Victor Cruz."

NFL ready? He's starting to sound like me.
Thank you Jerry
Giants got caught flat-footed in Round 1, no doubt. But Reese isn't lying about Round 2. They loved this WR from the start.
Me, I like defense, but Eli has to have at least two targets and Cruz is a question mark.
Well done Giants.
Hey B, if Cruz goes outside, do you think it takes some pressure off his knee? Not as much torque as a slot receiver? Shepard Definitely a slot guy.

Seems like we did okay in this exchange.

That's exactly who I think of when I watch Shepard. This was a great pick. BPA and need!
