Star-Ledger Pre-Camp 53 Man Roster Predictions


Mr. P

Recommended Posts

 

Of the 90 players that report to Giants training camp on Monday, only 53 will be left standing in five-plus weeks.

It's up to coach Tom Coughlin, general manager Jerry Reese and their staffs on how the 53 will be dispersed. There will be plenty of options. We each have different ideas ourselves.

Before they ever take the field for a training camp practice, here's how we each see it unfolding. We'll do this again before the final cuts and compare our predictions with the actual final 53-man roster on August 30.

Quarterbacks

Jordan: Eli Manning, Ryan Nassib

Conor: Eli Manning, Ryan Nassib, Curtis Painter

Analysis: Conor has the Giants carrying three QBs once again. Jordan thinks it's Nassib or bust.

Running Backs

JR: Rashad Jennings, David Wilson, Andre Williams

CO: Rashad Jennings, David Wilson, Andre Williams, Michael Cox

Analysis: Conor with the surprise pick of Cox. Don't sleep on him. Peyton Hillis left off both lists.

Fullback

JR: Henry Hynoski

CO: Henry Hynoski

Analysis: Finally some agreement. John Conner misses out.

Wide Receivers

JR: Victor Cruz, Rueben Randle, Odell Beckham Jr., Jerrel Jernigan, Marcus Harris, Trindon Holliday

CO: Victor Cruz, Odell Beckham, Rueben Randle, Jerrel Jernigan, Trindon Holliday

Analysis: Holliday sneaks onto the back of both rosters. Jordan surprises with Harris as well and predicts the Giants go heavy at WR.

Tight Ends

JR: Adrien Robinson, Kellen Davis, Daniel Fells, Xavier Grimble

CO: Adrien Robinson, Larry Donnell, Kellen Davis

Analysis: Conor sees Fells and Grimble failing to make team. Jordan predicts Donnell as the odd-man out.

Offensive Line

JR: Will Beatty, Geoff Schwartz, J.D. Walton, Weston Richburg, Brandon Mosley, Justin Pugh, John Jerry, Charles Brown, Eric Herman

CO: Will Beatty, Brandon Mosley, J.D. Walton, Geoff Schwartz, Justin Pugh, Weston Richburg, John Jerry, Charles Brown

Analysis: Conor only has eight O-linemen. Jordan has the same eight plus Herman.

Defensive Tackle

JR: Cullen Jenkins, Johnathan Hankins, Marcus Kuhn, Jay Bromley, Kelcey Quarles

CO: Mike Patterson, Cullen Jenkins, Markus Kuhn, Johnathan Hankins, Jay Bromley

Analysis: Bother rosters go heavy at defensive tackle. Jordan just subs Quarles for Patterson.

Defensive End

JR: Jason Pierre-Paul, Mathias Kiwanuka, Robert Ayers, Damontre Moore

CO: Damontre Moore, Jason Pierre-Paul, Mathias Kiwanuka, Robert Ayers

Analysis: Only four defensive ends. Same four defensive ends.

Linebacker

JR: Jon Beason, Jameel McClain, Jacquian Williams, Spencer Paysinger, Mark Herzlich, Devon Kennard

CO: Jon Beason, Mark Herzlich, Devon Kennard, Jameel McClain, Spencer Paysinger, Jacquian Williams

Analysis: Both rosters have six LBs, including special teams ace Herzlich.

Cornerback

JR: Prince Amukamara, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Walter Thurmond, Zack Bowman, Trumaine McBride

CO: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Prince Amukamara, Walter Thurmond, Bennett Jackson, Zack Bowman, Trumaine McBride

Analysis: Conor has rookie sixth-round pick Bennett Jackson on the final 53. Jordan thinks he's destined for the practice squad.

Safety

JR: Antrel Rolle, Stevie Brown, Quintin Demps, Nat Berhe, Cooper Taylor

CO: Nat Berhe, Antrel Rolle, Cooper Taylor, Stevie Brown, Quintin Demps

Analysis: Five safeties is a lot of safeties. Both still see it that way.

Punter

JR: Steve Weatherford

CO: Steve Weatherford

Kicker

JR: Josh Brown

CO: Josh Brown

Long Snapper

JR: Zak DeOssie

CO: Zak DeOssie
