Hey guys, I am at the game tonight between Virginia Tech-Miami. If you watch the game, give me your thoughts on the Tech tight end Bucky Hodges. Whether it is blue or green jerseys, this kid would be a natural in New York. I'm pretty much tired of seeing other teams invest in quality tight ends while both NY teams going bottom bin shopping.
Also, look at the Tech QB Jerod Evans - Cam Newton without the flakiness. They have a great receiver in Isaiah Ford, but he's hobbled with a bad ankle tonight. Remember when fullbacks were important? Check out Tech's Sam Rogers tonight - a blast from the past.
Well, teams have been hounding me for my Hodges report. Here we go;
THE NFL DRAFT REPORT’S “CREAM OF THE CROP SERIES - Former Prep Quarterback Bucky Hodges Is Mastering the Art of Playing Tight End
In just two-and-a-half seasons, this former quarterback has developed into the nation’s most gifted tight end. Sure, the media will continue to hype Alabama’s O.J. Howard, but when it comes to athleticism, sheer desire and outstanding determination, Hodges is head and shoulders above the rest. If the junior decides to test NFL draft waters in 2017, do not be surprised if he is not only a first rounder, but possibly suiting up in either a blue or green uniform while playing in the Big Apple.

New Window )
A player the Giants should watch is Isah Ford. He's a fantastic posession reciever.
Hell Brad Kaya could be a draft pick for the Giants as well, since we are approaching the end of Eli's career.
Shockey is the last great TE off the top of my head .
We so lack in size and quality in the pass game .
Have No problem if they took a chance on him .
Nor would I a top notch Running back .
I wouldn't be shocked to see them grab an O-lineman
in free agency , round #2 probably a pass rusher .
2) LT Ryan Ramczyk of Wisconsin, Julie'n Davenport of Bucknell (never saw him play but scouts apparently love him) or Jamarco Jones of Ohio State
3) LB Azeem Victor of Washington
But this year he has been playing more of a Flanker role this year not TE. He is split out wide and isn't inside blocking on the line. He is blocking corners most of the time.

Kaaya? No thanks.

I'm no scout, but I am looking forward to watching Kyle Allen next year at UH after sitting out 2016 (transferred from A&M). The former 5 star recruit will be eligible for the draft in 2018.

I'm not as high on Kaaya as some of the scouts but he will be gone by Rd 3 and the Giants have some huge holes at other positions. Don't see hem going that early for a QB but you never know.
Big, talented kid with speed and hands to match. Well coached and has played in big games, which to me is a valuable thing to have on his resume
This.
Yes we need a complete makeover to the TE position. Which basically is getting rid of Donnell and adding two others. I wouldn't mind them taking a shot early in the draft with a young pass catcher and then sign a veteran who can block.
I'd really like to see two of these positions drafted in the first two rounds. I get the BPA style of the Giants, but we need to start investing in some of these positions:
RB
TE
LT - depending on Flowers production and position next yr
LB
DL - depending on who's here JPP or Hank
LB
Ertz, Eiffert, Ebron, Sefarian-Jenkins, Amaro, Nicklas, Rodgers, Feidorowicz, Kleco, Reed, Fleener, Allen, Green, Kendricks, Housler, Thomas, Cameron, Williams, Wolford, Kroft - who here can actually block and catch
Kyle Rudoplh might be the only guy drafted in the last 5 years who can do both.
You really have to go back to 2010 to see guys who could do both
