Wide Receiver

coming back from an ACL can be tricky.
4 through 6 on the depth chart are up for grabs and I could see them keeping 3 rookies.
New staff different expectations

You have the top 3 right, and outside of that other players who play special teams are going to get priority. Cody Core to me is #4 as he excels in specials. Coleman, if he really is healthy, could jump him, but also has to beat out other viable returner candidates like Leake.

This isn't a deep position, however they have plenty of guys to compete and try and make the team. I like Sills and Mack. Sills offers size. Mack is a pretty solid wr. Healthy Coleman > Mack. Sills > Benjamin (at this point in his development). I am not sure Coleman will really be healthy, based on past history I'd call it unlikely.

My 6 are Sheppard,Tate,Slayton, Core, Sills, Mack. Hope Coleman proves me wrong is healthy and takes a spot.

From final cuts unless the player is well known to the coaches AND very familiar with the system.

Also, not likely that draft picks destined for the practice squad will be poached by other teams.

Teams will have too much invested in compressed trading camp and preseason to be very willing to churn the bottom of the roster until they have more time to figure out what they have. Probably more active after weeks 2-4.

I know we did not pick one early but in rounds five to seven we could have invested a pick on a slot guy with upside there were guys available. Most would ask why a slot guy since we have Shepard and Tate it’s really quite simple not one of them brings anything special to that position. I don’t see much coming from the UDFA WR’s they were bottom shelf even for UDFA and never really had even one year of excellence in the past.

Dillion could possibly replace one of our ST WR’s if he can play to his reported speed but is there really any upside to him at WR? You can’t teach speed but he has somehow kept his hidden on the playing field. The other two guys bring a bit more size but even less speed then our projected two slot guys. They came from a big program with loads of talent but when you compare them to the other guys playing ahead of them you can’t help but see the big difference in physical gifts.

as WR coach. Often lost among the overall shit coaching the Giants have had the last couple years, he’s been doing a fine job getting our younger guys ready to play.

Still don’t have a true number 1 WR, and short on depth. The top 3 are solid, but we all know Shep may not last much longer due to his concussion history.

I do think Tate is a lot better than some people here give him credit for.

I think we’re all surprised the Giants didn’t draft at least 1 guy from what was a deep WR draft with one of our later round picks.

Coleman coming back healthy and finding his form would be great. Still a big if.

As I said in Eric's thread, it seems to me that the Giants made a conscious decision to put WR on the back burner this year. Might they add a veteran WR later on? They might. I notice Chris Hogan is still a free agent. He had a few good years in New England when Joe Judge was there. If his knee checks out, he could be a possibility. Maybe someone else who gets cut loose. Otherwise, they'll go with what they've got and look to upgrade the position next year.

there will be plenty of WRs available at cut down to choose from.

2 WR, 2 TE. With Toilolo, Smith and Engram (who would be in a real position to succeed as an H-back type) why wouldn't they. And it helps the tackles

Whose best position is playing slot receiver, but after this year, none may be on the team. For this year, depth needs to be added outside. If not on the roster or among the UDFAs, the WRs will come from cutdown.

Engram may be the #2 offensive weapon and Garrett needs to figure out how to use him and keep him on the field. It isn’t about him being an in-line blocker except occasionally as a second tight end.

No matter what, at least one slot receiver must come from the draft next year.

Did he suffer from a real ACL or a stash a young guy with bruised pinky on the IR "injury"?
