Quote from: brownelvis54 on Today at 03:40:42 PMBecause we have Devin Singletary, Dante Miller, Eric Gray, and Gary Brightwell. a DT like Mekhi Wingo is more needed. Like I said months ago, why not take a chance on Michael Pratt in the latter rounds. He could sit for one year, low risk, perhaps high reward.

Like Ivan Pace Jr. last year, Wingo might not even get drafted because he's considered too small for the defensive line. But like Pace last year (didn't get drafted because of his size, then became 1st team all rookie as LB)

New to position means there is still a lot he is learning on the fly.

Not surprising he would still have trouble with some of the nuance of playing RB. If you beleive some of the reports sounds like Upside, tools pick whose floor might be an explosive KO returner.

Not bad for pick 166....

Quote from: Giant Jim on Today at 03:35:12 PMHow many O line coaches have they had over the last 12 years? All of a sudden it's the position coach's fault.

Well Feliciano just had an elite season ala 81.2 pff this year after looking just meh as a Giant in 2022.

Quote from: andrew_nyGiants on Today at 03:27:51 PMI disagree.

Marketed ad nauseam world-wide, over exposed and over played...yes.

Popular? Not to any true fan who actually care about the players.

It's become the 21st Century version of the Gladiators (no not the tv show, the real thing).

Show some true care and concern for the players post career and stop trying to play 6 days per week 23 weeks of the year, and regain the respect of the fans.

Are you of the opinion that before Goodell, the NFL "cared" about players more?  Or were more safety conscious?

Converted WR. Low miles on legs as RB. Very shifty and will be a great ST player. I like his RAS score. He's an offensive weapon. Not a "Workhorse Back", but more like a poor man's McCaffrey. He's more dangerous taking slant passes or sweeps. Should be a good compliment to the RBs we already have. At least we know he can catch a ball and make something happen

Quote from: TDToomer on Today at 03:17:35 PMWhy are our standards so low? The Dolphins with the #1 running game still found a need to take a day 2 RB. It's maddening.

They had the number 1 running game because of everything else around them. Mostert was an undrafted free agent and Achane was taken with the 84th pick. We now have a guy taken 72nd overall, a guy taken at 172 and 2 undrafted guys.

Mostert was floundering on the 49ers and the Dolphins got him for nothing. So if they can have the best rushing attack paying pennies on the dollar using guys that aren't necessarily great but are being used properly why wouldn't I also want that for the Giants?

The Elevator Pitch: Tracy spent four years as a wide receiver and return specialist at Iowa. Watch his Iowa tape and you
see a wealth of trapping targets to his body and fighting the football, which is among the reasons why he's more intriguing
as a running back.
Tracy is an elusive runner who layers movements in the open field to avoid defenders. He gets his feet and knees high
enough to get over low shots and he can do this while making elusive moves against pursuit.
Tracy has an excellent stiff-arm that he can deliver with reach and power. He uses his pads well when he prepares for
contact, but he can improve his overall body lean when he runs between the tackles.
Tracy is a promising athlete with elite change of direction quickness that he applies well as a running back but may have
room to get even better as he becomes more adept as a decision maker between the tackles. Tracy can make an early
impact in the D'Andre Swift-Kenyan Drake role as a player earning the ball in open space or handed the ball on plays
between the tackles that are designed to simulate open space such as draws and toss plays.
A short-term trap-door that could undermine success in this role could be ball security because most of his touches came as
a receiver and he has careless moments with ball security between the tackles. If he can continue to learn the position
quickly, he could become a productive committee option by the end of his first contract.
Where is the player inconsistent? Pressing the line of scrimmage
What is the best scheme fit? Spread scheme that feeds him draws, toss, screens, and RPOs.
What is his ceiling scenario? A lead back who has learned to run efficiently and intelligently between the tackles.
What is his floor scenario? A return specialist and occasional gadget player in an offensive rotation.

24 yrs old and can't pass protect?

He can catch, I hope he's explosive.
