I was looking over the roster and depth chart this morning. What sticks out is how young this team is. But I also wonder where the Giants will be actively scanning the waiver wire.
Gettleman was VERY active last year when the roster cuts were made, claiming SIX players off of waivers.
A Vet tailback for leadership and stability for sure. Perkins is a JAG and played himself off the team. Gallman is set but rest is open for a VET backup (seasoned Vet).
I would think a VET WR could be on the radar too.
My opinion, I think this team could use more edge rushing talent and another safety
OT we seem to be very thin right now.
safety behind Peppers and Bethea, you have Love a few guys that you dont want on the field for long stretches.
Returners - I think we can use an upgrade especially at PR.
I think we are also looking for unique guys for the offense. Like a jack of all trades hybrid type. The Eric Dungey project never got off the ground.
Overall I am happy with the roster and some of the depth. Obviously is a starter type is available you will have to look at almost any position. We are set for the most part on O, WR is a need for the offseason. you are not going to find a starter as a FA. D is they can find a pass rush specialist...lol. they get cut all the time...lol.
Overall not the most talented group, but we seem to have "depth" at WR, some interesting bottom of the roster guys and then some.
I'm sure they will claim 1 or 2 developmental types too, like all teams do, but this roster seems deeper than last year's and that should be a learning experience since none of those guys really did all that much beyond ST.
1. Depth level vet WR
2. Vet safety
3. RB
4. PR/KR
I'm holding out hope that Keelan Doss gets waived by the Raiders and signed by us, but it's looking like he'll make their roster.
They may look for a returner - but I thought Ballentine looked pretty explosive on K/Os. Not sure about TJ Jones on punts....
Dixon even fakes the camera man out with his short punts. Doesnt boom them the way others do and not much touch around the GL either.
The Giants went from Wing to Dixon and both guys are pretty bad.
Especially OT
