Most of the attention gets paid to the defense and offensive line, but they also have a number of questions regarding their receiving corps. The most pressing of those questions is how they replace the production, and impact, of Odell Beckham Jr. this year and going forward. There are also questions about the future of the unit, with Sterling Shepard in the last year of his contract and the newly signed Golden Tate on the wrong side of 30. This happens to be a deep and talented wide receiving class, with a number of players who can fill a wide variety of roles in a number of different schemes. The Giants seem to be building toward an offense that focuses on passes in the intermediate range and relying on yards after the catch to generate big plays. In that case, they could look to South Carolina’s Deebo Samuel, who is not only a tremendous route runner Andrew Adams Jerseys 2019 , but also a dangerous receiver with the ball in his hands.MeasurablesProsExcellent route runner. Savvy and deceptive with precise breaks. Good hands and ball skills.Very good after the catch.Impressive short area quickness.Good vision and contact balance. Stout frame helps him power through arm tackles.Enough speed to threaten big plays. Played from a variety of alignments.ConsNeeds to be more consistent as a blocker. Not a true burner in the open field.Average at best catch radius. Prospect VideoWhat They’re Saying - Joe Marino (The Draft Network - Scouting Report) Does He Fit The Giants?Samuel is a weapon all over the field, able to line up from out wide, in the slot, or act as a psuedo-running back on sweeps, and he is able to threaten the short and intermediate area of the field as well as deep. All of that together is a receiver who should appeal to Pat Shurmur and the Giants. There is relatively few nits to pick in Samuel’s game. And while he isn’t the most explosive athlete or the biggest receiver on the field, he is a lot of fun to watch. His tape can be maddening thanks to shoddy quarterback play, but concentrating on Samuel reveals a polished receiver and a dangerous offensive weapon. He is one of the very best route runners in this class, combine sharp breaks at the top of his routes with a savvy manipulation of timing and tempo to set defenders up and create separation with his route running. And at 6-foot, 215 pounds White Robert Thomas Jerseys , Samuel is built like a running back, which is exactly what he becomes with the ball in his hands. While he won’t run away from many defensive backs, his powerful lower body lets him hit his top speed quickly and hold off would-be tacklers for a while. Watching Samuel tugs at a Giants fan’s heartstrings and reminds of Victor Cruz, who excelled using many of the same traits. This is a crowded receiver class, but Samuel could be a great value anywhere on the second day of the draft. Trading cornerback Eli Apple and 2016 All-Pro defensive tackle Damon Harrison in the last week wasn't the reason the New York Giants lost to the Washington Redskins.The new-look defense, which was also missing injured linebacker Alex Ogletree, actually was the reason the Giants had a chance to win in the 20-13 loss Sunday that sent New York (1-7) to its fifth straight defeat.It limited Alex Smith and the Washington offense to 13 points, and didn't break down until Adrian Peterson scooted around the right side on a 64-yard touchdown run with 3:06 to play to open a 20-6 lead."I think the guys stepped up," Giants linebacker Olivier Vernon said. "I think the guys that had to step up stepped up and made the plays that they needed to make. We just came up short."With Eli Manning and the offense struggling most of the game Robert Thomas Jerseys 2019 , the defense almost came up with a game-changing play late in the third quarter. Safety Landon Collins forced Peterson to fumble on a first-down run from the Giants 17.The ball hit the ground and Vernon scooped it up and ran 43 yards to the Redskins 39 with Washington clinging to a 10-3 lead.Following an incompletion, a pass to Odell Beckham Jr., for a 2-yard loss and a 9-yard pass to Bennie Fowler. The Giants had a fourth-and-3 at the Washington 32.Washington played a zone, as Giants coach Pat Shurmur expected, and tight end Evan Engram ran a 4-yard curl pattern. Manning put the pass in his hands and he let the ball slip through his fingers."I thought we had what we were looking for, we've just got to execute it," Shurmur said.On the sideline, Collins' frustration was evident."Every turnover you think is going to be different and I thought it was going to be big, but stuff happens White Janoris Jenkins Jerseys ," Collins said. "They got a good defense over there, they're doing a great job over there with their defensive coordinator and their guys that they have over there, and they got the stops."Manning, who was sacked seven times, said no one likes losing. He said the players are working hard and competing, but they are just not making enough plays, especially on offense."We just have to keep fighting," said Manning, who threw for 316 yards but was intercepted twice by safety D.J. Swearinger. "The defense gave us a chance today and played outstanding. Offensively Janoris Jenkins Jerseys 2019 , we have to do our part. We are not scoring enough points. We are playing in close games and we are just not finding ways to win them, unfortunately."Beckham was at a loss to explain what's happened to the team this season. After posting a 3-13 record last season, much more was expected in Shurmur's first season."It's definitely not where I want it to be, it's definitely not what I envisioned this team being," Beckham said of the record going into a bye week. "It's definitely not why I worked the hardest I could have worked all offseason to come back and give my very best. I just don't feel like on Sundays I get do that. If there is any frustration, that's where the frustration comes in. All I want to do is come in and do whatever I can to help this team win."
