[POLL] Your starting RB for the NY Giants in 2018 is...

Postby Life of Pablo » Tue Dec 19, 2017 4:29 pm

By "starting" I suppose I mean "leads the team in touches".

My money's on Wayne Gallman or a late-round/UDFA rookie. I'll be honest and say that I haven't watched much of his play with the Giants, but from what I've gathered I get the impression that Gallman has quietly looked pretty solid. And he's been catching the ball well the last couple weeks, which is the exact kind of RB's I go after. I think he could prove himself for a more established starting role next year, and I'm debating on whether I should stash him or Elijah McGuire for 2018.

If any Giants fans or other masochists could shed some light on how they think things will play out, that'd be much appreciated.

If they're smart, they'll draft someone in or after the 3rd and that player will end up leading the team in touches eventually.

Currently seems to be Gallman as lead rusher, Vereen on passing downs & Darkwa in short yardage and change of pace. It's a mess and it's hard to judge how the Giants will go into the draft next year. I'll stick with Darkwa, but I'm not at all confident about it.

I have no faith that they'll draft a RB that's actually good but I really hope they do. I can't take another Andre Williams.

Since they'll have a new GM in place that will likely want to try and shake things up to suit his taste, I'm guessing it will be 3rd-7th round RB. Could be a FA since there's some decent options available, but I haven't looked into their cap situation.

I would think said GM would also like to try and get a head coach he supports, and that could change the offensive philosophy some too. Going to be an interesting offseason in New York.

New coach, new management, no proven option on the roster...it’s anyones guess. Don’t spend much to invest in it and hope you get a nice surprise with a guy in a timeshare that provides RB3 viability.

David Wilson

I'm more interested in who starts 2017 week 16, as I may have to start Darkwa.

Gallman has the ability to be an ok nfl running back and could hold them over for a year or two. I don't think they will spend a lot of draft capital or FA money on a RB. They have bigger problems to address.

They're in Saquon Barkley range, but there's no way they don't use that pick on a QB.

I think Darkwa remains the starting RB.

A starting back but not a +20 carries one, for sure. It should be Gallman as lead rusher, Vereen on passing downs and Darkwa on GL duties/change of pace.

At least they decide to draft someone...

Darkwa and Vereen are free agents in 2018.

Gallman/rookie for the starting position.

Would you trade the #17 pick for Gallman?

Write in vote for Jeremy Hill or some other FA with some potential
Giants need to fix the OLine so I suspect they will try and do that through the draft but who knows. So many changes in NY this offseasonand I don't think they even know if they have a good RB or not because the line is so bad

Anyway I expect they will bring a bigger guy and maybe Hill did enough in his touches in the past to get a shot somewhere

I wish it was rookie they draft 1-2 round, however thats not like them. So realistically I voted rookie they draft round 3-7.
