THE New York Giants (2-7) will visit the Carolina Panthers (2-7) at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany this Sunday morning.
This, of course, gives those of us here at Giants Wire the opportunity to hypothetically steal the Panthers roster in search of depth and/or talent upgrades for Big Blue for the second time this season.
The problem we face this week is that Carolina’s roster is pretty shallow, just like the Giants’ roster. They are in the early stages of a rebuild and have very few choices at the top of the depth chart.
One option being heavily considered is offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu, who would make sense for the Giants with Andrew Thomas out for the season. However, Jermaine Eluemunor played solid football at the right tackle position and Thomas will return to his left tackle role next year.
Afterwards, there isn’t much left. Only one other name stood out as both a need and an upgrade: cornerback Jaycee Horn.
Although Horn is not an elite level cornerback, he is very consistent and capable. He’s solid against the run – one of the best in football at the position – and gets excellent coverage. One weakness is his inability to blitz and rush the passer, but that’s not really what the Giants need.
While Deonte Banks struggled every week and showed a lack of effort, Horn would immediately become CB1 in New York and improve the entire secondary.
What do you think, Giants fans? Would you pick Jaycee Horn or steal a completely different player from the Carolina Panthers?
