Looks like we have 6 open roster spots to be filled before training camp after the draft and UDFAs. I'd bet we pick up a couple of the guys being released post-draft and sign a few of the tryout guys.

One of these QBs we keep bringing in year after year has to eventually stick.  DA can't play forever, and they aren't going to stick with Webb back there given his multi-faceted role.

I'm assuming that this is just a camp arm...

DA just signed an extension last year.  He's still got 2 years (2016 & 2017 under contract)

Agree. I've been a little surprised they don't keep one on the practice squad all the time, just to develop and have someone who knows your system.

I would generally agree, but Getts has definitively stated that he doesn't bring anyone to camp that he's not seriously considering.  I take that with a grain of salt, of course.  Obviously we don't want a journeyman camp arm, but if we're not seriously considering these prospects, then we need to bring in some QBs that can push DA and Webb.  Just wishful thinking, is all.

Missed out on Mike Rose from NC State.. Giants front office looking good so far. Carolina..? Eh.

 

6'6 D End who ran track, 4.5 insanely athletic. Local guy. From Greenville SC. NC State must be too big... If he went to Jacksonville State or san jose community college he might be wearing black n blue

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
