The New York Giants will square off against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon is one of their final two home games. And in doing so, provides those of us here at Giants Wire a unique opportunity to theoretically steal a player from a roster we rarely see.
Of course, that seems far less exciting than usual on the surface because the 3-10 Dolphins have an extremely thin roster and are undergoing a major rebuild. However, there are some gems to be had…
Of course, by “some gems” we really just mean “one gem.”
The Giants certainly need work along their offensive line, at the linebacker position and at the safety position, but Miami really doesn’t have the spare parts necessary to address those areas. What they do have however, is a tall game-breaking wide receiver, which is the only offensive weapon New York lacks.
At 6-foot-3 and 216 pounds, DeVante Parker is a red zone target capable of creating distinct mismatches, but that’s hardly where his talent begins and ends. With 4.45 speed to go along with his size, Parker is capable of stretching the field and hauling in long passes, while also opening up opportunities for his teammates.
With the Giants, Parker would be able to start outside opposite of Golden Tate, while Sterling Shepard handles the slot and Evan Engram creates nightmares at the tight end position. And with Saquon Barkley at running back? Phew boy, would that be some sort of talented group.
In 13 games (11 starts) this season, Parker has hauled in 55 receptions for a career-high 882 yards and six touchdowns to go along with a Pro Football Focus grade of 76.0.
What say you, Giants fans? Would you steal Parker from Miami or would you go with a different player?
