I think Wheeler

and Johnson both will have to make the team or they will be lost trying to get to the practice squad.

Wheeler should definitely make the team assuming he stays healthy and keeps out of trouble off the field. Dunker and possibly Jarron Jones should make the practice squad.
Strong competition

I like it -- this is showing me that McAdoo is no slouch when it comes to identifying talent

Thought Wheeler or Johnson were good they would have been drafted.

Some guys take advantage of their limited opportunities, and some don't.....the odds are against them making it, but sometimes fate steps in...

You can say that about every UDFA that has made an NFL squad
And you are so very wrong

Because the NFL always gets the draft right?
Yes

Okay. Wheeler is a stud despite his severe lack of strength.

People say this every year about players and the vast majority of the time they make it through to the Giant PS just fine.

Every team in the NFL has players of this general caliber that "impress" this way.
Wheeler and Rudolph were the only two undrafted players...  
Milton : 6/18/2017 4:40 pm : link
...that were given signing bonuses by the Giants. Wheeler got $20K and Rudolph $10K. I think they both have a shot.

Can't there be a middle ground between "stud" and worthy of making the team? Oh wait, of course not? It's Hall of Fame or bust! If you think he should make the team, you're certainly suggesting Canton is the next stop!

This place bring some real winners.

Roster turnover is amazing in the NFL

Just 2 years ago, Bucky Brooks and PFF rated the total talent on the NYG roster as bottom tiered. Now? This might be one of the 5-7 most complete rosters in the sport. The proof is apparent in the fierce competition anticipated this summer in camp to fill out the roster.

Great point. UDFA's never turn out to be good players except for Burfict, Kurt Warner, Tony Romo, Damon Harrison, Victor Cruz, Rich Seubert, Priest Holmes, Jimmy Smith, Antonio Pierce,etc.

Wow a rookie offensive linemen who needs to get stronger. That only applies to 99% of the rookie offensive line class.

There is a reason why players don't get drafted. Lack of talent wasn't the reason Wheeler or Jarron Jones went undrafted. Are they gong to be NFL starters? Chances aren't great but the talent is there. Jones will not make the team due to the position switch but if he does make the practice squad that will be a very good sign for a player so raw.

Not sure if you mean to come off as douchy as you do. Maybe it's just how you come off on-line?

I think the new cutdown rules make it unlikely that any UDFAs  
Ivan15 : 6/19/2017 7:53 am : link
Will get picked up for the active roster by other teams.

More likely that UDFA cuts will join the practice squads of other teams.

It will be like the post-draft frenzy all over again.
Who said he was a 'stud'?

It isn't always that easy. Giants just happened to be coming off two-three straight rebuilding seasons where they didn't spend much long term money and picked high in the draft for three straight years. Then they nailed the 2016 off-season to near perfection and look to have had another good one this year. This didn't happen by accident although I get your point. This certainly isn't the 80s anymore.
