Michigan fullback (254 lb) - Ben Mason

This is one bad hombre'.

I'll take  
GMen72 : 4/21/2021 12:32 am : link
Rhamondre Stevenson (RB, OU) in the 4th. Plays faster than his 40 time, has the ability to make people miss or truck them, and can take some of the short yardage carries that'll help keep Saquon healthy.
I took Stevenson in the 3rd round, in my draft ...  
Manny in CA : 4/21/2021 12:50 am : link

I like this guy in the 6th or 7th rounds (as an upgrade over Penny). Mason reminds me of Old School type FBs - think the Packers' Jim Taylor (back when).

Talk about reprising the Giants' "Baby Bulls" tradition - Saquon (230+), Stevenson (250+) and this guy (250+)

It was a nice nickname, but the bulls had careers more suited to milk cows, lol. None of them had 2000 career rushing yards.
I was so excited about Frederickson  
Bill in UT : 4/21/2021 1:33 am : link
when we drafted him. They said at the time that he might have been the best player in the country at 6-7 positions, including defense. Such a shame when he injured his knee.
Agree that he would be a good fit.

Doubt it’ll happen unless the Giants trade down for more picks — or he goes undrafted and signs as UFA.
You guys are all forgetting that we signed a FA fullback

Agree that Giants need a drafted RB, the position doesn't even have options(unlike edge which has unproven options) , I just don't know if the value there in 3 is worth it. I love Mason in RD6 for specials and short yardage needs. He's a bigger FB then they have on roster and he probably can add more a bit more muscle. The other guys max out ~ 240 he is more ~260.
He went to HS with my daughter.  
Johnny5 : 4/21/2021 8:48 am : link
He's a year ahead of her and a good kid. That would be really cool to see him on the Giants.
Give me his teammate Chris Evans in the 6th round  
Rick in Dallas : 4/21/2021 8:49 am : link
provides needed backup to the RB group on the Giants.
Not so interested in drafting FB  
lugnut : 4/21/2021 9:07 am : link
6 draft picks and we basically only use FB on specials -- not sure I see the point.

Two Michigan guys I AM interested in are TE Nick Eubanks and CB Ambry Thomas. We are pretty full at those positions, yes, but they both have upside and need a year of acclimation anyway. Be great gets to have waiting in the wings.
Highlights Look Good, but  
varco : 4/21/2021 9:38 am : link
Can he catch the ball out of the backfield and can he fill-in at TE occasionally? Versatility would be key. Looks like the "battering ram" we need in short yardage / goal line situations.
I have a family member who coached him in HS  
Biteymax22 : 4/21/2021 9:38 am : link
After 2 practices with the kid he came out and told me "I think we have an NFL player here". Raved about him his entire time there, so I'm rooting hard for Ben to make it.

Oh really? I probably know them... lol. Yeah he was like a man among boys, in a pretty strong football program at Newtown. In HS he was primarily a LB. He's phucquing huge... lol. Nice kid from a nice family.
He can catch, alright .....  
Manny in CA : 4/21/2021 10:30 am : link

At the 3:25 point of the highlights, he catches a ball and then jumps over the defender (seen in the photo); he even played a little LB for Michigan.

All-purpose kind of guy; I sure he's solid on special teams. Has to be worth a 7th round pick.

Yeah, not to give away names on the message board but he was a defensive coach who's last name starts with P and his brother was also on the staff. He raved about Mason from day one and actually thought he'd stick at LB at the college level.

FWIW I"m sure his time on the defensive side of the ball will make him a ++ special teamer.
Rashad Weaver in the 3rd  
MotownGIANTS : 4/21/2021 11:17 am : link
Nice consistent production and versatile ... can play inside and out ....



Stats - ( New Window )
Kendrick Green in the 3rd  
LTIsTheGreatest : 4/21/2021 12:20 pm : link
this guy is so athletic, Can play either guard or center. Don't think he would last til the 4th round

Ha cool. Yeah he was a good tough MLB, but he was also a pretty good TE from what I remember, I was surprised to see Harbauagh put him at FB, but it makes sense. He is just a bull. He was big in HS, but it's crazy how much bigger he is now. He is really good short yardage back for Mich. Ha it would be so cool to see him play for the Giants. The odds are pretty low I would think but cool to think about.
