The talent available
This has to be the weakest position in the draft by far as not only are there few top end talents, there are actually very few players available that even merit being drafted. Needless to say this preview didn't take very long to write!

What do I think the Giants should do?
The Giants lost both starting TE Jake Ballard and back-up Travis Beckum to torn ACL’s in the Super Bowl and though it is unlikely either will be back to start the season - if at all - having signed the talented Martellus Bennett as a free agent to go along with Bear Pascoe they probably have ‘enough’ at the position to get by. However, there is a school of thought that suggests a premier pass catching TE could make up for the loss of Mario Manningham and effectively replace the 3rd WR...

How will things play out on draft day?
Even the best TE prospects tend to see their value drift during the draft as WR’s are more sought after. This year I envisage just one player being selected in the 1st round, another in the mid-2nd and maybe two more in the 3rd round. Beyond that there may be the odd bargain in the mid-late rounds but in truth most players available have so many holes in their game that most will be ST’s only players or camp fodder during their brief NFL careers.
