LOL.
Good call. The summary in this thread is plenty. I'm sure there is no other substance worth reading.
But fine with me.....at a reasonable #
and yet a third receiver in the vein of Shepard and Tate

In a year where the draft is stacked from top to bottom with WR's, let's sign a free agent (former 4th round pick) beforehand who did 'meh' in his first three years in the league, and then had an excellent year with the Super Bowl champs. Good allocation of resources.
and yet a third receiver in the vein of Shepard and Tate
Yeah, because guys like that are so hard to find, and, after all, you can't have too many of them.

Not really. He played 70% of the snaps for KC and only 21% were from the slot. He's also 6'1 and a half. Those guys are 5'10.
He ran a 4.59 at the Combine.
He had 1 drop last year on 55 targets
He's never really been given a chance though. He's played on a team with an All Pro and a guy the Chiefs are paying 16 million a year.
In the 4 games that Hill missed he had 281 yards and 3 TDs. Projecting over a full season that's 1124 yards and 12 TDs.
I'm assuming the interest in him would be the teams projecting he'd be capable of being a #1 or high end #2.
We need help everywhere on the field. The more weapons for DJ the better.

6.69 3 cone. He absolutely is a speedster at WR, you know 40 times aren't everything.
Said above, deep draft for wideouts. That’s where to go target as long as we stop trading away our draft picks.
How expensive do we think Robinson will be?

No, they're not. But while his 3-cone was better than Slayton's (7.0), Slayton's 4.39 says "speedster" to me, and Slayton also killed him on the VJ and BJ. Also, I know it's history, and maybe he's cleaned up his act since then, but Robinson was suspended four times in college, twice in one season. Again, that was college, and he certainly could have matured in the past few years, but I'd want to make absolutely sure of that before I signed him.
As set up now, Tate and Slayton share one outside spot as Slayton develops and Tate plays out his contract. Tate, Shepard and Engram share the inside (hate to call it slot since there is an opportunity for 2 players inside at the same time). Shepard and Engram can both work outside, but neither is an ideal fit.
One starting WR is needed. Is Robinson ready?
I wouldn't expect this to be anything more than an attempt to drive up the price for other teams (like the Eagles).
This is the time of year when these teams use the media to mess with each other.
Don't get bent out of shape over stuff like this.
Exactly. WR is about our 5th priority behind OL, ILB, OLB and safety. TE might be more important as well.

Too late.

What was so promising about Corey Coleman? The five receptions he had in eight games in 2018, or tearing his ACL on the first day of camp in 2019?
the problem with the bottom is nobody wants to be there.

Seriously, bunch of little girls around here sometimes.

The only thing these guys care about is money. The Giants have never had problems getting free agents. Coming off a 3 win season the top LT on the market turned the Patriots down for the Giants. I wouldn't worry too much about the coaching changes or league standing when it comes to free agency.
I think he could be had a moderate price. Incentive laced contract in a situation where he'll get more opportunities and has a potential win-win ... we pay more but he produces more ...
They can out of the Tate contract for nothing after his suspension
Glad to see that a mere report from someone that constantly is incorrect is enough to make the broken records start to sing though about Gettleman. Should make for a really fun and totally not annoying FA period

Great so you're criticizing the Giants because they MIGHT be interested in a young under the radar type of player? This is also from Lombardo who doesn't have a great track record with his Giants predictions.

Yup. I'll criticize any move I think is a bad one, regardless of who reports it, and regardless of whether or not it has even the slightest chance of actually happening. I don't like signing one-year-wonders, especially not when the team has bigger free agent fish to fry, and the draft is so stacked at WR that in all likelihood a similar player can be found on day three...and late day three at that.
He's a young WR who would be brought here to be a #3 for depth and would be cheap.
A one year wonder would seemingly be a player who has a breakout season and gets signed to a rich deal because of it.
They're probably aiming to do both. Leave no stone unturned. Robinson won't cost a lot one imagines.
Plus as noted it's Lombardo...
Your post makes me wonder if , in a deep WR class, the Giants won't double dip like they did with CBs last year.
