NY Giants’ 53-man roster prediction: How many spots up for grabs in NFL Draft?
Tight ends (4):
Evan Engram, Kyle Rudolph, Levine Toilolo, Kaden Smith
Outside looking in: Nate Wieting, Rysen John, Cole Hikutini, Nakia Griffin-Stewart
Could this be a make-or-break season for Engram?
After all, the NY Giants turned down trade overtures for the veteran tight end, who dropped eight passes last season, and signed Rudolph early in free agency.
Pairing Rudolph with Engram allows the NY Giants to play more 11 personnel, and gives Jones a reliable red-zone weapon, improving an area of the offense that struggled mightily last season.
Retaining Toilolo is a bit of a head-scratcher but clearly the Giants value his ability as a blocker.
