Big Blue Huddle

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.

In the 5th round you are looking for intangibles or a player you can plug in that does 1 thing really well. KR/PR has been horrible for multiple years now and now that is probably solved.

166. NEW YORK GIANTS: TYRONE TRACY, RB, PURDUE
Height: 5-foot-11

Weight: 209 pounds

STRENGTHS
Combine star
3-down potential
Explosive playmaker
WEAKNESSES
Experience
Instincts
Power
Team Fit: A former receiver, Tyrone Tracy is a project at RB. But he could pay off handsomely. His burst and fluidity are uncommon, and the Giants had a big need.

Grade: B-

Gray and Brightwell suck. I'm fine with the rest. 

No picks through 5. Giants seem happy with what they have. Prolly want to focus on an offensive line with some level of experience across the board. Minimize potential of variability opting for reliability.

Of those RBs, only one has proven he's anything in the NFL. And at least one of the others won't make the team. They needed another prospect at this position, especially now that they're moving to a committee approach.

From Walter Football;

Tyrone Tracy, RB, Purdue
Height: 5-11. Weight: 209.
40 Time: 4.48.
Projected Round (2024): 4-6.
4/22/24: Tracy never received a big workload in college, but he played well in 2023, averaging 6.3 yards per carry on 113 attempts for 716 yards and eight touchdowns. He had 19 catches for 132 yards. In 2022, he had 28 catches for 198 yards. Back in 2019, he totaled 36 receptions for 589 yards and three scores. At the next level, Tracy could compete to be a backup runner and special teams contributor. He helped himself with a fast time at the combine.

Two stats that I LOVE for Tyron Tracy right off the bat:

Among Draft Eligible RB's with 60 carries:

1st (!!) in yards after contact per attempt
10th in breakaway rate
17th in missed tackles forced, one more than Trey Benson

Love the advanced numbers!

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)
