Tight end isn’t a glaring need for the New York Giants, but due to injuries in 2015, depth at the position became a serious issue. GM Jerry Reese said at the NFL Scouting Combine the Giants were high on their young tight ends – Will Tye, Larry Donnell, Jerome Cunningham and Matt LaCosse. However, it’s hard to believe that any TE on the roster will progress to be more than just serviceable.
Donnell at one point showed serious potential, but he’s never been a great blocker and he has had some serious problems with drops. He missed half of last season with a serious neck injury and, even though he was cleared to play last month, Donnell has some durability issues.
