his plan White Rhett Ellison Jerseys , Kyle Laueltta and much moreSomething has been gnawing at me now for quite a while, and it’s this opinion that the Giants got nothing in return for letting safety Landon Collins walk out the door.While I get it that we live in an instant gratification society, there is also a school of thought that says, “Good things come to those who wait.”In the case of Collins, the Giants, per Over the Cap, are projected to receive a compensatory pick to use in next year’s draft, one of their highest compensatory picks in recent memory. So not only does that count for something, but it could end up being a very valuable bargaining chip if the Giants need to move up in the first round next year for their next franchise quarterback. Not knowing the 2020 draft order, it’s impossible to begin calculating what it would take for the Giants to move up to get the quarterback of their choice. What we can probably safely say is that it’s going to take a package of picks to move up. This package will likely need to include their first rounder and potentially one of the two third-round picks they are scheduled to have next year (plus my guess is if they have to go very high up in the order, it could cost them their 2021 first-rounder, but I’m getting a little ahead of myself there).The point is that it’s inaccurate to say that the Giants let Landon Collins walk away for nothing. I get it that there are some who said that if the Giants knew they were going to move on from Collins last year Rhett Ellison Jerseys 2019 , why not get something at the time.But if they weren’t going to get anything close to what they were looking for (reportedly a second-round pick), it really didn’t make sense to move him.to grab Barkley were virtually nonexistent.Gettleman claims he has a plan that will continue to take shape in the draft, where it’s believed the Giants will use their abundance of picks to plug a massive number of holes on the roster at right tackle, defensive line, edge, off-ball linebacker, safety, and cornerback.So yes, there is a plan, and once the draft class takes shape, the picture will hopefully be a lot clearer.Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsKyle Lauletta’s futureIt’s rare, but not impossible White Calvin Munson Jerseys , that a quarterback drafted on Day 3 turns into a quality starter capable of taking his team to the Promised Land.Tom Brady, a sixth-round pick in 2000, is the most famous example who accomplished this. So too is some guy by the name of Kurt Warner, an undrafted free agent who got his start in the Arena Football League but who won a Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams in 2008.So yes, there are exceptions to the rule, but for the most part, franchise quarterbacks come in the first round — and the earlier, the better.Which brings us to Kyle Lauletta, who came from a small school program and who was further behind the 8 ball than some of his contemporaries in last year’s class.There were a number of people who thought Lauletta might be the heir to Manning’s throne. In retrospect, that was a pretty high expectation for a guy who was expected to go all out on getting up to speed as quickly as he could only to show that he still had a long way to go when he flopped in a late-season game against Washington. I think it speaks volumes that the Giants re-signed Alex Tanney, who took zero regular game snaps for the Giants last year, to a two-year contract. Head coach Pat Shurmur will tell us that Tanney has NFL experience Calvin Munson Jerseys 2019 , but according to NFL.com, Tanney has attempted just 14 passes in his pro career, completing 10 for 99 yards and 1 touchdown.That’s just a smidgen more regular-season game experience than what Lauletta has.Given all the clues, I think it’s plain as day that Lauletta isn’t a lock to be on this roster on opening day, especially if the Giants draft another Day 3 prospect to develop.I do think that Lauletta will get the opportunity to compete this summer, assuming he doesn’t have any more missteps along the way. But if there was ever any hope that he might one day succeed Eli Manning as the starter (and I don’t believe there was), that hope is probably gone.Thomas J. Russo-USA TODAY SportsKeep an eye on Evan EngramI often am asked who I think will lead the Giants in receptions and receiving yards in 2019 now that Odell Beckham Jr is no longer with the team.My answer is tight end Evan Engram (assuming he stays healthy).Engram, in my opinion, took the biggest leap forward of any of the Giants’ receiving targets, an occurrence that gets overlooked thanks to him having missed five games last year due to injuries. But let’s take a closer look at just what kind of major strides Engram made from Year 1 to Year 2:He cut down on his dropped passes, going from 11 as a rookie to 3 in his second season.He increased his yards after the catch average from 4.7 to 8.7 yards.He had the highest NFL rating (115.6) of all the Giants receiving targets, including the wide outs White Ray-Ray Armstrong Jerseys , running backs and tight ends who were targeted at least 20 times in the passing game And do I really need to tell you what he’s been able to do when Beckham hasn’t been in the lineup?Ok, if you insist. Evan Engram 2019 Production: With & Without Odell in the LineupTargRecYardsTDsYACDropsTargRecYardsTDsYACDropsTo be clear, Beckham is a generational talent, which as we know doesn’t grow on trees. But this notion that the Giants passing game is doomed without him appears to be overblown so long as Engram stays healthy. The New York Giants may be long shots to be NFC East champions at this point, given their 1-6 record. But the remainder of the division is still jammed together with Washington boasting four wins and the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles both at 3-4 through seven weeks. Further, Washington hosts the Giants on Sunday, making the goings-on around the division still compelling for New York’s fans. Here are some of the biggest stories around the NFC East for this week.Dallas Cowboys: Easily the top news out of Dallas this week is the Cowboys’ trade for Oakland Raiders receiver Amari Cooper. Cooper took part in practices on Wednesday but won’t be suiting up again until the team reconvenes next week after their Week 8 bye. A week off doesn’t mean a week off from talking about Cooper’s potential impact in Dallas, though. Blogging the Boys’ Connor Livesay reviews the film and comes away with three ways Cooper can help Dallas’ offense, while Dave Halprin argues that the addition of Cooper is as much a response to how the Cowboys’ defense has been performing as much as its offense.The bye week is also a good time for reflection, especially when it comes at the season’s halfway point. David Howman breaks down five changes the Cowboys need to make during their week off.Philadelphia Eagles: Bleeding Green Nation’s Brandon Lee Gowton has the Eagles’ Wednesday injury and practice report. Like last week, quarterback Carson Wentz was limited with a back injury but is not expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.Most notably, however Ray-Ray Armstrong Jerseys 2019 , is that defensive end Derek Barnett is done for the year with a shoulder injury. Gowton predicts that means Michael Bennett will start in his stead.There’s already some trash talk in the Eagles’ camp when it comes to their Jaguars opponents for this Sunday. According to Gowton, Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins took a jab at Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles following Philly’s Wednesday practice. Said Jenkins, “I can turn on the tape this week of our opponent and see that Colin Kaepernick deserves a job.”Washington: While Washington gears up to host the Giants on Sunday, Hogs Haven has yet to dip into previews of this week’s game. But found in Scott Jennings’ recap of Washington head coach Jay Gruden’s Wednesday press conference are these thoughts on Giants running back Saquon Barkley:Washington quarterback Alex Smith, meanwhile, was asked about the Giants’ two big trades on defense this week (corner Eli Apple to the New Orleans Saints and defensive tackle Damon Harrison to the Detroit Lions). He had little to say, except, “Maybe it will fire them up. Who knows the psychology of all that?” and that it won’t impact their preparation much at all, if any, this week.
