Giants trading for punter

QB Snacks : 4/20/2018 7:06 pm
Sources: The #Giants are in the process of trading for #Broncos P Riley Dixon. When Marquette King signed in Denver, he was on the trading block and NYG swooped in.
Punter - ( New Window )

Welp, this eliminates drafting a punter at #2

According to Ian Rapoport on Twitter,

the trade has been finalized for a conditional 7th round pick in 2019.
Giants are set at P

The kid is a good player . He does not get the yips when he’s backed up nor does he when he faces a crucial situation . He’s got the feisty, eat-shit demeanor displayed by Jennings , Landetta and Feagles . Looking at his stats, can’t figure out why Denver choose to go in another direction.

As noted above by Flair , Dodge was a choke artist . That’s the deal with him .

Why would we trade?  
bigbluescot : 4/21/2018 7:44 am : link
We're still 2nd on the waiver wire, and with what they've given King they're going to release him

It's for a conditional 7th round pick. So if he doesn't make the team, we probably don't send Denver the pick. Also, there's probably no cap hit if we cut him.
How many Shanks did he have?  
Angus : 4/21/2018 11:24 am : link
Wing lost games for the Giants with his shanks. Having a punter who does not shank could be one or two more wins per year. Get the kicker to not kick off out of bounds and you get one or two more wins.

That would be a good stat if available for punters. Outright shanks.
his nfl.com scouting report is somewhat encouraging

when combined with his solid pro numbers so far.
Quote:
COMBINE 2016
STRENGTHS
Good ratio of hang time to distance punted. Forced a whopping 40.8 percent (2014) and 42.4 percent (2015) fair catches over his last two seasons. Played with poise when pressure was coming. Able to dig low snaps off the turf. Able to control punts near end zone with just nine touchbacks over the last two years.

WEAKNESSES
Average leg strength. Punting average helped along by some bounce and roll punts. Dome kicker who showed some issues with wind at times when venturing outdoors.
Snacks just called out Benjamin Albright on Twitter

Who was not happy with Gettleman for making this trade.

Snacks is a savage, best/favorite player on this team

is a joke. Trading a conditional seventh is trading a draft asset? What a freaking clown
Dixon  
Professor Falken : 4/21/2018 12:25 pm : link
is pretty athletic for a punter. Ran a number of fakes at Syracuse.

I believe it has to do with the cap impact of cutting someone that is traded for versus claimed off waivers because in a waiver claim you are assuming the rest of the contract versus in a trade there are cap accelerations to the original team.
Dixon was

11th in the league for lowest touchback percent.

I have no issue with this trade, even if it wasn’t a conditional pick. I’d rather get a guy with some experience than go with a rookie like we did with Matt Dodge. I mean how often do you hit on a seventh rounder anyway. I can’t think of one aside from Bradshaw that has done much of anything for us the last several years.
