Giants Add New Scouts

For those still doubting that this is a rebuild, the Giants today announced some hirings, consolidation and promotions in their scouting department.  First, Chad Klunder, formerly the football AAD at Notre Dame has been hired to coordinate both the pro and collegiate scouting departments.  It's a new position and a change from Giants as usual.  Secondly, the Giants have hired Brendan Prophett as an area scout.  Prophett was formerly the Director of Pro Scouting for the Lions.  Next they promoted Tim McDonnell from pro scout to assistant director of pro personnel, this also feels like a new position. Finally they promoted Corey Lockett form intern to pro scout.

These changes mostly effect the pro scouting side, which you'll recall, Dave Gettleman ran for years and years before leaving last time.

In other news, the Eli Manning/Daniel Jones coverage in already both funny and annoying, and it's only mini-camp.

Some on the scene feel like any compliment they pay Jones must be accompanied with a compliment for Eli.  That's the funny stuff, though, it's also a reminder of what happened to those who benched Eli in 2017. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but you cannot run an NFL team by overtly tiptoeing around a declining players feelings.
