New York Giants: Team needs to manage the Webb hype by Curt Macysyn

The New York Giants utilized the 2017 NFL Draft to address two of the biggest needs on the roster. The decisions may have come as something of a surprise, but New York filled the voids at tight end and quarterback.

With Evan Engram on pace to earn astarting role in 2017, and Davis Webb projected to be Eli Mannings successor, the new duo iswasting no time in developing chemistry.

New York selected Engram in the first round andWebb in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Both selections offered a fair indication of how important they are to general manager Jerry Reeses vision for the team.

According to Jordan Raanan of ESPNs NFL Nation, the chemistry between Engram and Webb has been building since the Senior Bowl.

Its funny because Evan was my favorite player at the Senior Bowl. I told him that there, Webb said Friday after the first day of rookie minicamp practice. Couple months later, were on the same team. So that is really cool. Evan is a great player. He works his butt off. He did a great job [Friday] with his assignments and is coached really well. We have a good relationship off the field, and hopefully that translates to a good relationship on the field.

its far too soon to jump to any concrete conclusions, but Engram and Webb could be anchoring the Giants offense for years to come.

Engram is a 63 and 234-pound tight end with 4.42 speed and proven playmaking ability. He led all FBS tight ends in yards per reception during the 2014 season, and recorded 65 receptions for 926 yards and eight touchdowns during the 2016 campaign.

The Giants have long needed a tight end who can stretch the field vertically, and Engram has the potential to be a matchup nightmare.

As for Webb, hes filling the biggest shoes of all as Mannings heir apparent.

Webb is a 65 and 229-pound quarterback whoput up 4,295 passing yards, 37 passing touchdowns, 12 interceptions, and eight rushing touchdowns in 2016. He completed 61.6 percent of his passes, but theres a rational fear that he may havelearned bad habits in spread offenses.

Thankfully, Webb projects to have two or three seasons to learn behind a Super Bowl champion.

The New York Giants havethe potential for greatness. Both Evan Engram and Davis Webb will play roles in the development of it.
