Big Blue Huddle

I was listening to the talking heads after the first round was over, and the question was asked, "Who won the first round". It was unanimous that the Giants did, and that it was hard to argue against. Well we've added a monster defensive lineman to play next to Dex, and now Skattebo...unf-greal

I thought he was a second round or top of the third prospect.. he fell to us and we got lucky.
Now let's get an OL 🙏🏻🌹🥳💪🏼👏👈🏼

New Giants RB Cam Skattebo joins Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell as just the third RB drafted since 2017 to rack up 600+ receiving yards in a single NCAA season.
He also had a higher yards per route run than Barkley & Jahmyr Gibbs.
Immediate fan favorite.

From a traits standpoint, what stood out most to me watching new Giants RB Cam Skattebo on All-22 was his combination of ELITE contact balance + low center of gravity he runs with.
But he really had almost every trait you look for (burst, physicality, route running, hands).
Needs to work on pass protection technique but he sure tries hard.

From a traits stand point - does he have the speed and quickness need at the NFL level ?

Watching his highlights he looks like he lacks quickness, and definitely speed.

James Conner made it work

Reminds me of Maurice Jones Drew, guy never goes down.

This is awesome! I'm beyond pumped about this pick. What he did in the CFP game against Texas' studs was unreal. This guy is an animal, and he is going to be a fan favorite.

His speed is good. He's in the 4.5s. Plenty of top end RBs with that type of time. What most don't have is his degree of physicality, balance, and toughness.

Tremendous pick. Will really round out our RB room.

Type of kid that would rather die, than go down, fights for everything.

Jerome Bettis ran a 4.7
Larry Csonka ran a 4.64
Jim Brown ran a 4.58
Cam Skattebo ran a 4.57 at his pro day

Judging by the film, he might get off slow, but has decent speed when he's got an open field (late speed is what they call it, I believe). Regardless, it's not his speed that makes who he is and why he's successful. A lot of speed guys tend to go down the second someone touches them. As a reminder, speed is nice, but football isn't a track meet. It's about love of football, and being tougher and meaner than your opponent. I'm sure Skattebo will be just fine for us

I know nothing is won in April. But this draft has been awesome.

Now time for a guard.
