Should the Giants hire Jakobi Meyers?

TC : 4/19/2019 7:05 pm
Interesting possible late round WR prospect. I think this draft is one of the best I've seen for WR talent, and this guy isn't at the head of the line, but as a late round pick, he's got some interesting characteristics.

A QB convert with some size, tough as nails, great hands and body control. What he doesn't have is speed, or outstanding quicks. But he's got smarts. Can that make up for his deficits?

We have enough slot guys.

I think we need an X that can get off the jam more than that. If you can find a guy that could do both even better. DK Metcalf is that guy but it's too rich for us with our other needs. Maybe a guy like Boykin in the midrounds. Preston Williams late maybe?

We actually have pure deep threats. Latimer and Colemon have that deep speed and are both best on vertical routes, the big problem is that they aren't that great all around. We ultimately need a good WR that can compliment Shep and Tate a little. Meyers has better size but there's a lot of overlap in skillset there.

Sir, with all due respect, the 2019 draft will be one of the very weakest at the WR position.

If you are looking for a strong WR draft, think 2020, and think exceptionally strong if some outstanding underclassmen decide to leave early.
Seected him in the BBI Mock as Tennessee

I have little doubt you know more than me. You're serious about scouting and do it well. That's just my impression from some of the talent I've seen, but I suspect you've seen a lot more, and are better situated to assess it.

don't look at signing a player as hiring them. I think about that with coaches.
I watched him a lot for the wolfies ...

He was the other clutch receiver for Finley playing inside of Harmon. Excellent all around player who can run, catch and throw ... and he came up big when needed. He’ll be a good pro with the right team, but he is primarily a slot guy.
Doesn't sound like a good idea...

All he will do is chase ambulances!
