A Look at the Giants' Post-Plaxico Depth Chart

In an attempt to find sleepers on the post-Plaxico Burress, post-Amani Toomer Giants, let's have a look at their updated receiver depth chart:

WR1 - Domenik Hixon > Mario Manningham > Taye Biddle > Micah Rucker
WR2 - Steve Smith > Sinorice Moss > David Tyree > Derek Hagan

We can cross Biddle, a career practice squad type, and Rucker, a massive 6'5/219-pound project without an obvious future, off the list pretty safely. Tyree is a special teamer with bad knees and Hagan is a futures signee with some talent, but dreadful hands.

This draft is heavy on receivers and local Rutgers hero Kenny Britt could be there for the Giants at No. 29 overall, but no wideout they draft is likely to help more than the ones they already have.

Lets assume New York enters the season with the above two-deep depth chart intact. No Boldin trade, no Ocho Cinco, and definitely no Braylon.

The Giants have made it clear that they prefer Steve Smith in the slot. Moss has done very little in three seasons. Hixon is a near shoe-in to start. Manningham is the group's truest deep threat, and has the most potential as an outside receiver. He looks to be in good position.

The Giants finished 2008 tied with the Dolphins for 21st in pass attempts. I doubt they'll throw much more this year with Ahmad Bradshaw and Danny Ware behind $25 million man Brandon Jacobs.

But there will be 3,000-3,200 receiving yards to be passed around. We need to keep a close eye on the draft, then Manningham and Moss' practice habits in training camp. A rosterable player behind Hixon, Smith, and Kevin Boss seems fairly certain to emerge here.

This post(mine, not the article) is a shoo-in to be the most annoying of the day. An absolute shoo-in.
