Cooper-USA TODAY SportsThe New York Giants have agreed in principle to a contract with free agent offensive tackle Mike Remmers. At least that is what Remmers’ agent, Brett Tessler, has tweeted. It was long expected that the Giants would sign Remmers at some point this offseason after bringing him in for a physical earlier in the free agency period. Remmers was previously signed by Dave Gettleman when he was the GM of the Carolina Panthers. After leaving the Panthers, he was signed with the Minnesota Vikings and played under Pat Shurmur, who was first quarterback coach then offensive coordinator. With his history with both men and the Giants’ tendency toward players with whom their coaches are already familiar, it seemed inevitable that the Giants would sign Remmers.Remmers comes with some risk for the Giants as a 30-year-old player coming off of back surgery and a poor season out of position as a right guard. The last time Remmers was at offensive tackle, 2017, he had a blown block rate of 2.39 percent, as compared to the 2.47 percent of pass blocks blown by Chad Wheeler in 2018.Only time will tell if Wheeler has been able to use this offseason to improve enough to keep his starting job, or if he will lose it to Remmers (or perhaps George Asafo-Adjei). Regardless of who is starting the games, the Giants will need to be better at the right tackle position. Good morning, everyone! We’re in to the final quarter of the 2018 regular season and while the New York Giants are still mathematically alive in the playoff hunt, their odds of playing after Week 17 are slim and trending towards “none.”Their odds of landing one of the first 10 selections https://www.giantsfanshop.com , however, are still strong. That means that it is much more “draft season” for Giants fans than “stretch run” season. And as it so happens, ESPN’s Todd McShay has released his first mock draft in advance of the 2019 NFL Draft. Since it is Insider content, we’ll bring you the Giants’ pick:Raptor’s Thoughts: First off, McShay does have Justin Herbert in his mock, going seventh overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Moving on, I am of two minds about this pick. On one hand, Haskins has played well this season. He is the rare Urban Meyer QB who is primarily a pocket passer (he definitely isn’t a statue, though), and he has largely been efficient running Ohio State’s offense. Over the last quarter, or so, of the college season he was legitimately excellent. Haskins has enough mobility to navigate the pocket and extend plays, with all the arm strength you could ask for to challenge the Meadowlands’ winds. His decision making has been sound and he has solid accuracy to all levels of the field. Haskins has just about everything you could want from a quarterback prospect from a tools perspective.But on the other hand, he is a red-shirt sophomore and while he has had a season that put him in the Heisman conversation ... that’s the extent of his resume. For myself, personally, quarterback the one position where I always weigh age and being an upper-classman as being marks in their favor. Normally they’re neutral at best Giants Customized Color Rush Jerseys , and for players premier positions with an athletic premium, younger is usually better. But at quarterback, having those extra two or three years of experience and mental maturity (literally, the brain does not stop maturing until after the usual age of college graduation), are a massive positive for me. Sure, getting him as a red-shirt sophomore means that the Giants will have him in-house and learning behind Eli Manning (with whom he already has a relationship from the Manning Passing Academy). But that isn’t the same as playing games, seeing defenses first hand, and making decisions in the moment.And then on the third hand (okay, my name isn’t Zaphod, so we’ll just juggle ideas here) having a young quarterback on a rookie deal is an incredible advantage for the team. Even with the salary cap pushing toward $200 million in the coming years, the Giants will need the extra cap flexibility that having a QB on a rookie deal provides as they work to re-sign players like Sterling Shepard, Dalvin Tomlinson, Saquon Barkley, and potentially Sam Beal. So then, what do you think of selecting Dwayne Haskins if he does indeed declare for the draft and falls to the Giants’ pick?
