Update of Draft Prospects With Whom the Giants Have Met.

TC : 4/9/2017 2:07 pm
This is from Walter Football, and all prior caveats concerning its accuracy or lack thereof apply. I didn't consult multiple sources which likely would have different information. For example, I recall one source mentioning a meeting with RB Kamara, who is not listed here.

I do notice in this list some local players I don't recall seeing reported before, including a Rutgers players which may be of interest, as well as additional private workouts conducted by the Giants.

SR - Senior Bowl meeting.
EW - East-West Shrine meeting.
COM - Combine meeting.
INT - Interested.
VINT - Very Interested.
PRO - Pro Day or campus meeting/workout.
LOC - Local visit. Prospect making a local visit.
PRI - Private visit. Prospect making an official 30 visit.
WOR - Private Workout. Members of an organization working out a player in private.
STM - Some Type of Meeting.
% - indicates more than one meeting at an event.
^ - has met with team at more than one event.
# - indicates meeting set up outside of the 2017 Senior Bowl or the 2017 East-West Shrine Game

Can anybody shed some light

On which past (since '06/'07) Giants drafted by the team in rounds 1 thru 3 that did NOT meet with team officials?
i don't think they met with Kenny Phillips.

The list is especially interesting because it shows where the Giants met the prospect and how many times.

It looks like they are looking at Boles very carefully.
Ok, who is Diegeut Joseph?  
cosmicj : 4/9/2017 3:46 pm : link
Looks like a developmental mid or late round OT.

Sorry, don't have any numbers, but I think I'm safe in saying a lot. For example, my impression is I HAVEN'T seen reports of them meeting with their 1st round pick most years. And as you've likely noticed, a lot of the players listed might be described as little known late round or UDFA prospects.

Giants tend to meet most with players who have character issues, or as someone said, those projected to be taken in the late rounds or to be UDFAs.

Thanks, that's pretty authoritative!

And as I noted in the thread below, if the Giants have met with Njoku 4 times including a workout, it's likely they're considering him in the 1st.
I found it interesting and a bit surprising that . . . .  
TC : 4/9/2017 6:12 pm : link
the Giants would workout a LB from Army, not that I know that much about Army. Shown as an ILB, I expected some big brute. Nope, he's a not so big brute, about the same size as Landon Collins. He's 5'11" and a smidge, 228.
The Giants meet the players they believe have big question marks  
est1986 : 4/9/2017 7:18 pm : link
If they are sold on a guy, no need to even meet. Did they meet Odell?
I still think

I guess that means Mixon is off their board
There likely won't be an offensive lineman  
Jay on the Island : 4/9/2017 10:00 pm : link
worthy of the 23rd pick but I hope Antonio Garcia from Troy falls to the Giants in round 2. He will not be a day one starter but he could develop into an excellent LT allowing Flowers to move to RT eventually.

looking at Bolles very carefully huh - how 'bout Njoku -- it looks like they turned him inside out, held him upside down, spun him around 4 times, and then held a seance
