Giants prepared make Norwell highest paid Guard NFL History

They pissed Gman off.  OL is their priority, but Norwell is not clearly our best lineman, so...Of course, other teams have bluffed Hurney before and forced his hand--(without details, the colts bluffed that they were taking Armanti Edwards in the third when he was a seventh rounder or so on their board; Atlanta, with no cap room, bluffed that they were going to sign hometown Georgia alum Charles Johnson, so MH overpaid him by about $20m.)  Maybe other teams are excited that the chump is back in play.

And we have this:  Moton could be a better guard---

"I had to go back and watch his 2015 tape when he played guard. He was a little rough at tackle this year but that isn't his spot. Big and strong as a guard. He was moving guys from Ohio State around like it was nothing." -- Area scout for NFC team  

Bottom Line

Four-year starter for ascending Western Michigan program. Size and potential to dominate at the point of attack with pure power should make him a coveted right guard prospect. He can be a little stiff in his movements and his footwork needs plenty of work, but he's functional in both areas. Might need additional work before he is ready to take on the wily, athletic defensive tackles in the NFL, but his physical traits and power give him a chance to become a reliable NFL starter.

That is not to say that he cannot play both Tackle spots, but he did not beat out Williams (or Kalil).  Rivera does not like rookies, so he did not step in front of Amini Silatolu.  Is he another Travelle Wharton?

I hope Moton can be our future at LT since LTs are a lot harder to find and more expensive (no doubt because they're a lot harder to find) than OGs.

    • I see them using Brooks in the passing game a good bit even early.  
    • If Brooks is fully healed,and they think he is, then we should be better.  We upgraded center and Hunt will be back.   At RB, Rico will turn 28 next month. Hubbard turns 27 next month.  Brooks turns 23 in July.  If Brooks pans out, he was a better college RB than either Rico or Chuba. He has not been taking a beating for 2 years--so if the knee holds, we could have something.   This is what it says about RB: Career Average: Running backs have the shortest average careers in the NFL, lasting just 2.57 years on average. The Peak: Most running backs reach their absolute peak performance around age 25 or 26, with nearly all peak seasons occurring before age 29. The "Age 28-29" Cliff: Statistical data shows a notable 15% to 25% drop in per-game fantasy and offensive production as backs transition from their age-28 to age-29 seasons. Very few running backs sustain elite production past age 30.
    • I’ll give him that. I love his belief in the trenches being where games are decided. Because that is also my belief.  And he is not fooling around he jumps all over a goal. Fix the OL. Well it cost but he fixed it.  And fixed it again this year while still getting pieces for the defense.  He has made a couple of mistakes but just keeps swinging after a miss until he gets something done.
