5. (153) Kevin Boss, TE
The Giants felt the need to get a solid backup for Jeremy Shockey at tight end and they think they got one in Kevin Boss. Boss was a 4-year starter at tiny Western Oregon and it could take him some time to adjust to the speed of the NFL game. He is a good receiver that has soft hands and isn’t scared to go for a high pass over the middle of the field. He’s a big guy at 6’6″, 256 pounds but he’s not the best run blocker around so that’s something the Giants’ coaches will have to work with him on. He runs a 4.9 40 so he likely will be a possession receiver in the pros. In 33 games (25 starts) at Western Oregon, Boss caught 134 passes for 1,590 yards (11.9 avg) with 19 TD grabs.Â
