Evan Engram is going to be huge for Big Blue

Evan Engram is ready to dazzle fans in the Big Apple. The first round pick is going to make a big splash in 2017.

Evan Engramhas a chance to be the most valuable player for the New York Giants in 2017.

I’ll be honest, I was not a big fan of the pick right when it happened.

I felt like it didn’t address any needs, and that Big Blue passed on some really good talents. Now, my opinion has taken an entire 180.

Engram is going to have a huge amount of value to the Giants this season.

Last year, the high-powered New York Giants offense lacked one thing.

A great tight end.

Engram isn’t the most well-rounded tight end. He is more of a hybrid wide receiver, but he fits so well into the Giants offensive scheme.

Last year, the Giants battled withLarry Donnell,Will Tye, andJerell Adams. I wouldn’t say any of those three have superstar potential. Tye came on strong, but he isn’t nearly the tight end Evan Engram is going to be.

Engram is a perennial matchup nightmare running out of the slot. There is no corner that can hold off his strength, and there isn’t a linebacker that can run with him. He is going to be a red zone dream forEli Manning.

I know we haven’t seen Engram in an in-game situation against NFL caliber talent, but he is set to be a great NFL-er in a few years time.

His first year in the league is going to be fun to watch.

Next: Is it time for Shane Vereen to go?

He makes up one part of one of the best receiving corps in the NFL. He is going to learn a lot from playing alongside the likes ofOdell Beckham Jr.,Brandon Marshall, and evenSterling Shepard.

Eli loves his tight ends in the red zone, so Engram is going to be a touchdown threat near the goal line every time down the field.
