New York Giants March Scouting Report
Tony DeArmas
3/29/2017
With much less cap room than 2016, Jerry Reese did a masterful job of retooling this playoff caliber team. They still have cap room for one more mid-range signing but the bulk of the key offseason needs were addressed.
Starting QB Eli Manning is heading into the twilight of his career as he seeks another Super Bowl appearance. QB Geno Smith was signed as a veteran backup to compete with QB Josh Johnson. QB Ryan Nassib was released due to injury.
The running back corps currently consists of RB Paul Perkins, RB Shane Vereen, RB Shaun Draughn and RB Orleans Darkwa. This position will be further bolstered by a deep draft class. I don’t see any big free agent signings here…sorry AP!
Veteran WR Brandon Marshall took a pay cut to come over and be the #2 receiver in this offense. He will open things up tremendously for Eli, WR OBJ, and WR Sterling Shepard as a big target over the middle. Longtime WR Victor Cruz was released in a financial & performance move…he just doesn’t have any gas left in the tank.
The tight end group is a work in progress with young TE Jerrell Adams, TE Will Tye and newly signed TE Rhett Ellison. All three are likely to make the roster at this point as they have different skill sets.
The offensive line is still the weakest link on the team but it has been partially addressed via free agency. More to come in the upcoming draft.
The much heralded defense under DC Steve Spagnuolo might only lose one starter DT Johnathan Hankins. Otherwise, DE JPP is back with a new 4 year deal and should create havoc opposite DE Olivier Vernon. The secondary continues to be a strength. The linebacking corps looks to continue evolving and improving.
That’s it for now. More to come in April after the draft….
End.

"Thanks a ton for all your work on IDP information and analysis - very grateful as I am just leaving for the draft now. That's why FFMastermind blows all others services away."

"I began using FFM in the late 1990s. For 20+ years they were an extremely valuable resource, as I enjoyed great success in my league during that period. Unfortunately, my league came to an end during the Covid years, and I stopped subscribing to FFM. After a year without Fantasy Football, I started looking into online sports betting and quickly realized FFM could again become a valuable source of information for prop bets on individual players. I resumed my subscription with FFM and have not looked back. FFM is clearly a dual threat; they can severely increase your odds of success in both fantasy leagues as well as prop betting. I almost feel guilty with the tremendous returns I get from such a modest investment in FFM."
