ESPN's 53-man roster projection for the Giants

Del Shofner : 7/25/2017 11:54 am
- for what it may be worth.
ESPN's 53 - ( New Window )
Only 5 WR and LB and Brett Jones cut

I wonder if Richburg's toughness makes Gettis more valuable, LG help being more necessary...

Jordan is way off on the number of RBs - 5 RBs PLUS a Fullback.

Add to that 4 TEs. No way that happens. Either 3 TEs, 4 RBs or no FB.

BTW, IMHO Matt Lacosse is rapidly becoming the Jonas Seawright of the late 2010s Giants.
Engram's Role  
Samiam : 7/25/2017 12:46 pm : link
I can see 5 WRs and 4 TEs given that Engram role will be less the traditional TE at least until he learns to block like a TE and that might be never given his skill level on the outside. Keeping the extra RB makes sense if he's a big ST player since they'll be short a WR who would be a ST player. The FB could also be a ST player or maybe McAdoo thinks that the running game really needs a FB. Keeping both, extra RB and FB is stretch though

Darkwa or Draughn, not both.
No fullback.
Jones not Gettis.
Thomas not Bryant.
Thompson not Blake.
Pinkins makes the team.
2 things that stand out

I don't see a FB when they have Ellison. When he was signed Giants.com called him a "hybrid fullback/tight end". I'd wager that spot will go to someone who excels on specials in pre-season.

As for Kicker- I've said since April that I believe that Roberto Aguayo or Nick Folk will be our kicker in 2017.

If Webb shows anything in the preseason, I really don't think we'll keep 3 QBs.

Pretty Poor Effort For A Beat Writer IMHO  
Trainmaster : 7/25/2017 1:15 pm : link
27 on offense and 23 on defense is very unlikely.

I'm OK with 5 WRs (it's Beckham, Marshall, Shepard and 2 JAGs or 3 JAGs if 6 WRs).

No way in hell 5 RBs AND a FB. 5 WRs, 4 RBs, 1 FB and 3 TEs or 5 WRs, 4 RBs, 0 FBs and 4 TEs. Gives 25 on offense.

Increase LBs from 5 to 6 and increase CBs from 5 to 6 for 25 on defense.

umm...DJ Fluker???

"Not a lot of change in this group from last year. Only a sixth-round pick (Bisnowaty) and undrafted free agent (Wheeler) are added to the mix."

Did he proof-read his work?

something to Jordan about trading Will Tye, but does anyone honestly expect that a team will actually give them something in a deal acquire him? We have a tendency to overvalue our guys around here.

Totally agree, sloppy work. Maybe he is still soured that nobody gave him head's up on the FO liking Engram and he is holding a grudge.

Wake up Ranaan...

I'd be shocked if it happened though.
