The NFL Draft is fewer than three weeks away. The Giants open their offseason training activity (OTA) schedule on April 18 in East Rutherford, and soon after they will have new rookie teammates plucked from the draft on April 27-29 in Philadelphia. The Daily News will take a look at each of the Giants’ greatest positions of need and break down the top five targets. We start with one of the most intriguing positions, given the combination of Big Blue’s scouting interest, the position’s talent pool in this draft and the potential impact on the Giants: The tight ends. And we’re cheating and including six players, because they’re all worthy of consideration: |
Teams that value blocking will take along look at them.
Shaheen is interesting as he has the frame to carry alot more weight. At 6'-6" he looks like he could easily add another 12-15 lbs. of muscle to his 278 lbs.
In watching some film he is very agressive in both his blocking and receiving. He has poor techniques. He is very raw. He has good feet and excellent short area quickness.
He is a matchup nightmare for dbs and lbs as he uses his body to make space. He is open even when covered.
Shaheen is a project.
That said, the guy who looks like he fits the Giants offense to a T (besides Howard) is Jake Butt.
3rd round is where we like to take risks - whether character or injury. I can see Jake Butt in the 3rd round, saving our 2 premium picks elsewhere.
Here is a highlight video to help with your thoughts.
