Evan Silva (@evansilva) As to Mike Sullivan's comments on how Engram would be used:
5/12/17, 5:15 PM
If this is the kind of player they wanted, the #Giants should have drafted David Njoku over Evan Engram.

Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler)
5/12/17, 6:12 PM
Love the player. Dislike the fit. We'll see if Engram can grow into what NYG wants, but they're misevaluating him IMO

Ryan Smith (@RSmithNFL)
5/13/17, 4:16 PM
Agree, it's not what he did in college so there's a lot of projection. Lined up 73.2% of snaps in the slot. (@PFF)

I don't understand all these

national writers questioning why the Giants seem intent on getting Engram into as much of the playbook as possible. I mean obviously EE already knows how to run a damn seem route from the slot.

The more the kid learns the nuances of the TE position, the more packages he plays in and that many more looks he and the Giants give opposing defenses.

They're still pissed that the Giants passed on Njoku to draft Engram, blowing all of their projections to hell.

Exactly. People do not seem to understand the difference between not being asked to do something and not being able to do it. If Engram tries and fails at it then fine but should the Giants staff just assume he cannot do something or are they going to leave no stone unturned? Listen to McAdoo. He said they are throwing everything at him now to see what he is capable of. Why would anybody want it any other way?

Maybe this isn't a good comparison, but to me it's like a QB who never lined up under Center in college learning to do it as a pro. It's okay to question whether or not he can do it, but to say definitively that he can't because he never did it before seems shortsighted to me.

I am not sure Odi even gets a seat, no less a hot one...
