The Giants need a quarterback
Dexter Lawrence NFL Draft , but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll draft one in the first round. Or at all.Matt Lombardo of NJ.com reports that Penn State
quarterback Trace McSorley visited the Giants on Friday. He attended the team’s
“local prospect” day, which permits every NFL franchise to host an unlimited
number of incoming players with geographic ties to the team’s home market.
(Apparently, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is close enough to be “local”; McSorley
grew up in Virginia.)With the Giants, McSorley would be reunited with running
back Saquon Barkley
Color Rush Deandre Baker Jersey , who has praised McSorley as a “great leader,” a “great player,” and “one of my favorite teammates ever.”Barkley also
has said that it’s “so disrespectful” for teams and scouts to suggest that
McSorley should change positions at the next level. McSorley declined a request
to work out with defensive backs at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.“I
haven’t done a [secondary] backpedal in like five and a half years,” McSorley
said at the Penn State Pro Day. “I’ve just been focused on quarterback, and
that’s where my mindset is.”Saints coach Sean Payton also has wondered whether
McSorley could become the next Julian Edelman
Youth Deandre Baker Jersey , who went from college quarterback to slot receiver to Super Bowl MVP.Despite all that, NFL.com pegs McSorley as a “priority free
agent.” Which is a nice way of saying he’s not expected to be drafted. We find
out where the value in this class is at those positions"At some point in the
2019 NFL Draft the New York Giants figure to add to their receiving corps,
perhaps both at wide receiver and tight end. On the latest ‘Valentine’s Views’
podcast, we turned to Matt Waldman of The Rookie Scouting Portfolio to help us
break down the options.On Sterling Shepard getting a long-term deal: “I think it
shows they’re looking for someone they want to build this receiving corps around
and they feel like he’s the type of worker, the type of route runner
Womens Deandre Baker Jersey , the consistency factor in his game is good enough that you want to lock him up for a while. And I get that.”On the outside the box
possibility of selecting tight end T.J. Hockenson of Iowa at No. 6: “I think
it’s definitely something you have to look into because he is that good of a
player. He can start right away for a team because he is that good of a blocker.
You can use him on the wing, you can use him inline against defensive ends and
outside linebackers. You can use him as a fullback. You can split him in the
slot or outside, and he can do it all.”On value at No. 17: Waldman is high on
Iowa State’s 6-foot-5, 227-pound Hakeem Butler, saying: “I think Hakeem Butler
would be an amazing pick for the Giants if he slips that far
Authentic Deandre Baker Jersey , and he probably will.”On value at 37: Tight end Irv Smith and wide receive N’Keal Harry would be value choices.Waldman has
an interesting prediction for a player the Giants might be interested in late in
the draft.Please give the full show a listen below.Where to subscribeYou can
