Sonstiges » After shipping superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

EAST RUTHERFORD http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/jachai-polite-jersey , N.J. (AP) — Cleveland Browns in a stunning trade, the New York Giants made sure Eli Manning had his second-favorite target locked up for years to come.The Giants on Friday signed Sterling Shepard to a four-year contract extension that will pay him roughly $41 million.“I’m just excited,” Shepard said. “An opportunity to be in such a great place for another five years, it’s a blessing. I’m looking forward to this opportunity. I’m not going to put so much weight on my shoulders. I’m just going to attack every day like I have been.”The signing comes a month after general manager Dave Gettleman stunned many by trading Beckham to the Browns for the No. 17 pick in this month’s draft, safety Jabrill Peppers and a third-round pick.A second-round draft pick in 2016, Shepard has 190 catches for 2 Chuma Edoga Jersey ,286 yards and 14 touchdowns in three seasons. He has been durable, missing five games in 2017. He finished third on the team with career-high totals of 66 catches for 872 yards and four touchdowns last season.The trade has made Shepard the focal point of a receiving group that added veteran Golden Tate in free agency and has a group of veteran role players. New York (5-11) may look to add a down-the-field receiver in the draft, since Shepard and Tate are primarily slot players.“We have no shortage of talent,” Shepard said. “Those guys are ballers and they can get the job done. When they’re put in that position, they’re always going to execute. I have all the trust in those guys. I feel we’re going to pick up right where we left off. The last five games were the best games we played in the season. We just have to fine-tune some little things. Once we do that, we’ll be fine.”Shepard blossomed over the past two seasons as Beckham missed most of the ’17 season with a broken ankle and the final four games last season with a quad problem.“With Odell going down the last two seasons that time definitely helped me get a grasp of what being a leader is all about http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/trevon-wesco-jersey , and being that lead guy in the room,” the 25-year-old Shepard said. “I think it prepared me for this moment. I was pretty vocal anyway. I’m a pretty vocal guy. That will be no problem.”How much the Giants rely on the receivers this season remains to be seen. The offense revolved around NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Saquon Barkley last season, and his role will likely increase with Beckham gone. We are only a few games into the NFL season so it's too early to know how bad the draft experts got it this year, but they have certainly made many mistakes in the past. Every year leading up to the draft, experts, mainly Todd McShay Alexander Mattison Jersey , Mike Mayock and Mel Kiper, make their predictions about prospects, who will bust, who is a sleeper.These experts have a tough job, there will always be players who don't pan out as anticipated and their predictions are usually similar to how teams draft, so its not just them who gets it wrong. That doesn't get them off the hook though http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/dru-samia-jersey , some of these predictions on this list are outrageous, even without hindsight. Drafting is not an exact science and there's an element of luck in projecting a player's career outcome. Nobody saw Tom Brady coming, as he just didn't look like a star quarterback, but you can't measure what's inside a player.These guys watch hours and hours of film to assess the best in the draft class but based on this list, we may want to reassess calling them experts. Whether these players were overvalued or snubbed by the gurus, here are the 15 biggest mistakes of NFL Draft experts.
