Figuring out the depth chart for the NY Giants 2011 season is going to be a tough one, you only have 53 spots and there is a lot of talent to this 2011 Giants team.
Some tough decisions will be made here — but the key again is going to be maintaining depth of talent across all the positions. So with that said, here is my prediction for how the final 53 will shake out:
| QB | Eli Manning | David Carr | ||||||
| RB | Ahmad Bradshaw | Brandon Jacobs | DJ Ware | DaRel Scott | ||||
| FB | Henry Hynoski | |||||||
| WR | Hakeem Nicks | Mario Manningham | Domenik Hixon | Victor Cruz | Devin Thomas | Michael Clayton | Jerrel Jernigan | |
| TE | Bear Pascoe | Travis Beckum | Jake Ballard | |||||
| OL | Kareem McKenzie | Chris Snee | David Diehl | David Baas | Kevin Boothe | Will Beatty | Stacy Andrews | Mitch Petrus |
| DL | Justin Tuck | Osi Umenyiora | Jason Pierre-Paul | Dave Tollefson | Chris Canty | Rocky Bernard | Linval Joseph | Jimmy Kennedy |
| LB | Jon Goff | Michael Boley | Mathias Kiwanuka | Greg Jones | Phillip Dillard | Mark Herzlich | Spencer Paysinger | |
| CB | Cory Webster | Aaron Ross | Brian Williams | Prince Amukamara | Michael Coe | |||
| S | Antrel Rolle | Deon Grant | Kenny Phillips | Tyler Sash | ||||
| K | Lawrence Tynes | Rhys Lloyd | ||||||
| P | Steve Weatherford | |||||||
| LS | Zak DeOssie |
My predictions for the NY Giants Practice squad is also:
1. QB Ryan Perrilloux
2. TE Christian Hopkins
3. OL James Brewer
4. LB Adrian Tracy
5. LB Jacquian Williams
6/7. DB Joe Burnett / Jarrad Tarrant / Darnell Burks
