Sign a veteran TE and draft one in the later rounds..
Possible veterans to look at:</P>
Visante Shiancoe - Former Giants that has great hands, decent blocker. No QB in MN.</P>
Joel Dreessen - Really athletic and didnt get the love because of Owen Daniels</P>
John Carlson - Traditional Giant-like TE. Tough, Big, Strong and good all around game.</P>
Leonard Pope - Big dude who is an excellent blocker. Athletic enough to get downfield. No QB in KC.</P>
Draft:</P>
Round 3 - Michael Egnew, Missouri.... big, athletic guy that fell off the map this past season, but he can play.</P>
Round 4- Ladarius Green, Louisiana Lafayette.... freakish athlete. instant offensive threat, but needs to add some weight and develop his blocking.</P>
Round 5 - Nick Provo, Syracuse... caught everything. Great hands and good runner. Needs to work on blocking. </P>

If one of that top four comes cheap?
Re: Sign a veteran TE and draft one in the later rounds..
This is 1 of our few options. If we cant get a vet TE, then we have to look to draft 1 earlier possibly still need another guy late round for depth.
We just have nobody at the position right now
Re: Sign a veteran TE and draft one in the later rounds..
Carlson is a ****ty blocker, so he isn't a traditional Giants TE.
Dreessen is the best option IMO. He is by far the best run and pass blocker, and has good hands. He won't command a lot of money..

Leonard Pope to replace Ballard to be a decent, low cost signing.
I see us drafting Allen or Fleener is the top 2 rounds.
if someone like ERodriguez is UDFA i can see us signing him to take over Bekhum's role.
Pascoe returns as te/fb
Re: Sign a veteran TE and draft one in the later rounds..
i think reese will stick with hopkins and pascoe and see how that works out. then make a move if one goes down or if hopkins doesnt develop. we all thought we desperately needed a new TE after boss and reese stuck with ballard who knew the system. it worked out pretty well. ive all but completely abandoned second guessing anything reese does anymore.

Re: Sign a veteran TE and draft one in the later rounds..
You forgot to add Shockey to the vet TE list. LOL
Re: Sign a veteran TE and draft one in the later rounds..
Sign Shiancoe, and draft Green! If he doesn't work out at TE, he can play WR....
