Projected September 1 Depth Chart Post-Draft

OneWay : 5/2/2016 12:03 pm
Thoughts?

QB: Eli, Nassib
TB: Jennings, Vereen, Perkins, Darkwa
FB: Johnson, Whitlock
WR: Beckham, Harris, Davis
WR: Cruz, Shepard, Lewis
TE: Tye, Donnell, Adams
LT: Flowers, Stingily
LG: Pugh, Gettis
C: Richburg,Jones
RG: Jerry, Seymour
RT: Hart, Newhouse

DE: JPP, Wynn
DT: Harrison, Whitlock
DT: Hankins, Bromley
DE: Vernon, Ogi


SLB: Kennard, Brinkley
MLB: Robinson, Goodson, Unga
WLB: Thomas, Casillas

CB: DRC, Wade
CB: Jenkins, Apple
FS: D. Thompson, B. Jackson
SS: Collins, Behre


On offense, QB, TB, WR, FB all looks pretty-well set barring injuries. TE and WR should be dramatically improved giving Eli loads of weapons that he lacked last season

Obviously OL needs at least one more legit starting caliber player, somehow, somewhere. Ideally we find a RT, Hart competes with Jerry for starting guard spot with loser as the top G backup, and Newhouse is a 3rd/4th tackle type guy. Just one more starting-caliber guy would make a world of difference for that depth chart.

Defense has a lot more question marks. DL looks pretty well set, especially if Whitlock can make a bigger impact next year as a back-up DT and Bromley can show a bit more as a veteran. The DE quartet should be rock solid. LB is very difficult to predict outside of Kennard being a starter. Ideally Goodson wins a starting job at either MLB or SLB or perhaps Unga makes major strides as he showed promise. If the rookie doesn't win the FS job we are in trouble there, lots of very marginal guys competing otherwise. Strong safety looks to be in pretty good shape, as Collins should be more comfortable playing closer to the box and Behre impressed before injury.

This team still has a long way to go..

Looking at the right side of our O-line makes me want to puke.

i think they are going to keep more than 4 CBs on the roster.

I also think Goodson can and will start at WILL or robinson goes to WILL and goodson starts inside
If some of these young names I see

Can step up, we might not be in as bad shape as most of you think. Collins, Hart, Odi, Apple, Shepard, D.Thompson in particular. If that can happen we still have to hope they have a plan for bringing in a Tackle. Then we are in buisness.
No chance they keep

2 fb's and 10 o-linemen.
Also they will keep more CB and D-linemen
to be clear ...

I wasn't intending to project the entire 53-man roster, just basically the two-deep plus a few more guys who I expect will see some playing time.
Ogi = Owa?

No way  
Jay on the Island : 5/2/2016 12:45 pm : link
will the Giants keep 2 FB's
Yeah you can't keep 6 RB's

Whitlock needs to make it as a DT/ST player to make this roster, unless Johnson gets hurt. I think Johnson was one of the more underrated signings. He's going to really help our RB's.
Whitlock

I have him listed twice, I anticipate he will primarily make the team as a DL but also serve as a back-up FB.
