Rest of Draft and UDFAs

Who Else Did They Get?



I will never guess what the Giants will do. Ever again. Not one player I wanted was drafted or picked up.

4th, 5th, two 7th round picks, along with 6 undrafted free agents. Agree with some, not all. Still could have done better, I'll just put a thought or two on each player.

4th Round - Ryan Nassib QB Syracuse - Traded our 4th and 6th round picks to get a player that Reese hopes to "never play". Was mocked by many to go in the 1st to Buffalo. I guess you have to find an Eli replacement sometime, but also could be a trade piece down the road.

5th Round - Cooper Taylor S Richmond - Started at Georgia Tech Second Team All ACC as a freshman. Had a heart condition that caused him to miss sophomore year on a medical red shirt then barely played the next year cause of injuries. Went to Richmond for his last 2 years. Giants will use him as a 3rd safety/linebacker hybrid. At 6-4 228, he is a little big for a safety, a little small for an outside backer. He also ran a 4.49 at his pro day. Freak athlete, that I really want to see play.

7th Round - Eric Herman OG Ohio - 6-4 320, Mr. Pancake is what they call him, 335.5 pancakes at Ohio. Big nasty brawler. May not even make roster, but with the lack of depth at OLine, especially in 2014, he will be on the practice squad at the worst.

7th Round - Michael Cox RB UMass - 6-0 214 guy has good hands and good burst coming out of the backfield. Nothing else on him except the fact that he can flip into the end zone.

UDFAs
  • Mount Union LB Charles Dieuseul 
    • Mount Union is the Alabama of D3 football. 6-0 230. Went from LB to DE to LB during career there. 
  • Charleston Southern DB Charles James
    • 5-9 184. Apparently guy has a nose for the football. Had a school record 6 INTs in 2011
  • LSU TE Chase Clement
    • More of a lineman. 3rd string TE if anything
  • Ohio State LB Etienne Sabino
    • 6-2 247. All the physical tools, just not completely there in terms of skill. A project. 
  • Virginia Tech S Alonzo Tweedy
    • Special teams whiz apparently. Not as a returner necessarily but as a gunner on punt and kick coverage. 
  • Virginia Tech WR Marcus Davis
    • LOVE this pickup. Also loved Ramses Barden, ha. At 6-3 233 and arms that reach 32 and 3/4", he has all the physical talent in the world. Ran a 4.48 and had a 39" vertical at his pro day.   Has the speed to break away from the defender in the open field. His weaknesses are all fixable with good coaching. Blocking, and catching with his hands away from his body are the two big things against him. Coughlin & Co. hopefully will get all that fixed so we can add him to the list of Reese's gems.
