The New York Giants (2-7) will go to the Carolina Panthers (2-7) at Allianz Area in Munich, Germany this Sunday morning.
That, in fact, supplies these of us right here at Giants Wire the chance to hypothetically steal from the Panthers’ roster in the hunt for depth and/or expertise upgrades for Huge Blue for the second time this season.
The difficulty going through us this week is that Carolina’s roster is kind of shallow, very like the Giants’ roster. They’re within the early levels of a rebuild and have little or no to select from on the prime of the depth chart.
One strongly thought-about choice is offensive deal with Ikem Ekwonu, who would make sense for the Giants with Andrew Thomas out for the season. Nevertheless, Jermaine Eluemunor has performed strong soccer at proper deal with and Thomas will reassume his function at left deal with subsequent 12 months.
After that, there’s not a lot. Just one different identify stood out as each a necessity and an improve: Cornerback Jaycee Horn.
Whereas Horn just isn’t an elite-level cornerback, he’s very constant and succesful. He’s stout in opposition to the run — probably the greatest in soccer on the place — and grades out extremely in protection. One weak space is his incapacity to blitz and rush the passer, however that’s not likely what the Giants want.
With Deonte Banks struggling on a weekly foundation and displaying an absence of effort, Horn would instantly develop into CB1 in New York and improve your complete secondary.
What are your ideas, Giants followers? Would you decide Jaycee Horn or would you steal a wholly completely different participant from the Carolina Panthers?
