Dane Brugler mock draft with this nugget "The Giants have invested high draft picks on the offensive line in recent years and could go in that direction again if New York plans to make Will Beatty a June 1st cut."

 

 

I dont know much about the Giants cap situation, but Beatty is a solid LT.  He graded out positively by PFF, above guys like Brian Bulaga.  He fits the mold of the size we like and is 29, so should have a few solid years left

 

Presumably Gettleman is familiar with him.  Additionally, as a would be cut, he wouldnt count against our compensatory pick score.  

 

In a light year for OTs in FA and the a low draft position, the more LTs available the better.  

 

Anyone here knowledgeable about his chances of being cut?

[PantherWake]

He's worse than Bell man. At least last year.

[Mr. Scot]

Not a fan

[Kuech the Sneak]

This year seemed to be a bit of a bounce back year for him. I don't know the chances of him being cut but I would welcome him here

The Giants are the last team I want to go o-line shopping from.

FWIW he has graded positively by PFF 3 out of the last 4 years. This year, pretty much everyone else  on the Giants o-line was terrible, but he was ok and as good as any other FA options.  

 

no matter if we sign FA OT, we still should draft one anyways.  But signing someone who we know isnt terrible is a good start.  Look at the PFF grades for all 1st round OT taken the past two years.  Its not pretty.....some of the worst grades in the league

see 2014 PFF regular season OT grades   

 

You may not be a believer, but at the very least this tracks every single snap and matches up well with how this board grades our team.

Flowers is a guy I'm actually keeping an eye on. He's a very Kelvin Benjamin like prospect in that if he wouldve gone back to school I think he wouldve gone way up on draft boards and the year of refinement wouldve helped him.

I'm a little concerned he'll rise now actually.

[t96]

Man the Saints got lucky with Armstead... Hardy fuged him up in his first start but other than that he's been lightyears ahead of any of our tackles. 3rd rounder I think.

[Malt Liquor]

Everybody is better than Byron Bell except Jake Matthews..hell yeah why not Will Beatty

[SCP]

I think Greg Hardy had 14 sacks in one game against Beatty last season.

[Growl]

Man Brandon Albert was great last year.

Value of being active in free agency.

[Ken]

I've seen a lot of Beatty. He's a middle of the road OT who can have a stretch of awful play but then be really good.

 

He was definitely helped out this year by McAdoo's offense, which was WCO based and had a lot of shorter routes/shorter protection time.

 

He's solid in both the run game and pas protection. He'd clearly be an upgrade over Bell. 

 

I think Gettleman will definitely be interested in him if signed.

lol @ Atlanta's #6 overall pick being worse than Byron Bell
