Check out this Giants short video I found

Y28 : 3/28/2023 10:03 am
Perhaps others may have seen this LAST YEAR, but this is the first time that I ever saw it.

Its only 1.5 minutes long.

I found it when I was looking for Pro Day information, since yesterday was the North Carolina Pro Day.

All I have seen reported was that all 32 teams had coaches there, but nothing much more specific.

Since the Giants took 2 OLs from North Carolina, I wanted to get more information on another NC O-Lineman, Asim Richards. Last year he played LT, but has played along the line for the Tar Heels and actually earned over 100 snaps as a true freshman in 2019.

Tony Pauline is reporting that teams tried Richards at Center during yesterday's drills (interesting because when NC Coach Mack Brown was interviewed after the Giants took Josh Ezeudu, he said he thought Ezeudu would make an excellant NFL Center).

Clearly a Day Three pick, but another name to consider.

Back to the video I attached- I think it confirms that the Giants really respect their coaches opinions during the draft process and that coach Bobby Johnson saw what he wanted in Marcus McKethan.

Thx Y28. An article I read last year...

... about Ezeudu, he basically said the whole NC OL looked at McKethan as the enforcer on that line. I thought that was a really interesting comment and I was really looking forward to seeing him play last year. Such a bummer he tore up his knee. Hopefully he is back close to 100% from that this year.
It is very comforting to know that we have a great OL coach

This is why I am not super concerned about the Center position. Add that we have 14 OL under contract they will find the best player to plug in that spot.
good find

it's become patently clear that our position coaches are an integral part in the draft evaluations and pro day workouts at their positions
In retrospect

I am glad I never saw this video last year prior to the draft and I am quite certainly it never appeared on BBI.

When we heard the name "Marcus McKethan" to the Giants on last years draft weekend, must of us responded by saying "WHO ??".

I am sure that's the way Schoen prefers with his Day Three picks !!!

I expect McKethan to push Glowinski this season, and to become our starting Right Guard next season. Schoen has specifically mentioned him twice this offseason and that's encouraging.

A lot of people seem to totally discount the 14 young OL under contract, including 3 '22 draft picks, who can hopefully be developed by Bobby Johnson and staff.

I understand the angst after DG and his "trust me" attitude, followed by another season of caca, but maybe we should trust Schoen, Johnson and Daboll more than DG and the clowns. I wouldn't doubt we draft an OC/OG, but I doubt it's in the first rd or 2 and I don't think we draft 3+ OL like some people want. I think it will be 1, maybe 2 max.

When I watch Mckethan, I see DJ Fluker; which, for a 5th round pick, is a good thing.
McKethan and Beavers

are basically bonus draft picks for this season (if they stay healthy of course), and both are talented players who have been on a professional regimen for over a year. They could most definitely make a big mark this year, two players I’m VERY interested in watching when camp opens

I expect McKethan to be the RG this season.
