As it stands right now
Red Dexter Lawrence Jersey , the New York Giants have a need at both right guard and center. They have players they might like at both positions, but given the state of their offensive line and the play put on tape in 2018, it would make sense for the team to look for players who can create competition and emerge as potential upgrades.They also need any young players to have as short a learning curve as possible, so it would make sense to look at linemen who come from schools which use pro-style concepts in their blocking schemes.Boston College’s Chris Lindstrom has experience at both tackle and guard -- though he is best suited for the interior -- and is being considered as a potential center at the next level as well. Providing a potential upgrade at two positions of need for the Giants, as well as coming from the BC offense, could intrigue the Giants.

He is very athletic for a guard and would be a good fit for a team that runs primarily zone blocking schemes. There, his ability to move and release to the second level work well to get the defense flowing and creating both running lanes and cutback lanes. However, for a team that is more power-oriented
Dexter Lawrence NFL Draft , center might be his best fit (assuming he is able to learn how to snap the ball). His frame suits the position well, as does his ability to double-team before releasing upfield. Generally, centers have to be quicker and more athletic than guards, and Lindstrom has that -- and would be a good fit as a puller in man-gap schemes, as well as in inside-zone. His quickness to the second level could help turn modest runs into bigger gainers, as well as open up screen passes. The Giants run a scheme which not only gets the quarterback out in space, but uses screen passes

As the Giants’ 2018 season slid down the drain, there were a lot of people clamoring to see if quarterback Kyle Lauletta could offer the organization some hope for the future.Lauletta was the No. 3 quarterback behind Eli Manning and Alex Tanney for most of the season, but got into one game and went 0-for-5 to throw some cold water on the notion that he was the team’s starter in waiting. The Giants made it fairly clear that they believe someone else is the heir to Manning when they drafted Daniel Jones sixth overall this offseason and Tanney’s continued presence on the roster means the chances are good that Lauletta will be left off the 53-man roster.Lauletta had knee surgery in the offseason and that’s not helping a bid to change that outlook, although the 2018 fourth-round pick said on Tuesday that he remains confident in what he can do on the field.“All I can do right now is control me and get my knee back and work hard,” Lauletta said

I’ve just got to get to work and reach my full potential, and when I get an opportunity on the field, show them what I can do.”Developing Jones figures to be a focal point for the Giants this summer, but Lauletta should get playing time in the preseason if he’s healthy and a good showing there should help his chances of landing a roster spot even if it isn’t with the Giants.
