Baldwin worked out for the Giants on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The Giants are thin at wide receiver, so they brought in a few players. Even if Baldwin were to make the team, he's a long shot to make an impact.

Baldwin's inability to turn his size and speed into consistent production got him chased out of Kansas City and did the same in San Francisco. His physical tools will probably get him another chance from a club in dire need of receiving help, but without better effort and work ethic on Baldwin's part, his days in the NFL may be numbered.
A 2011 first-round draft pick, Baldwin hasn't yet panned out, and it's unclear if he ever will. At 6-4, 230 and with good speed for his size, Baldwin profiles as a typical No. 1, but he's still unpolished. In the wake of his trade to the 49ers, perhaps a change of scenery will help boost his prospects, as he now moves into a fluid receiving situation, thanks to injuries that have hit San Fransico's receiving corps. He'll need to get up to speed with the offense, but once he does, Baldwin will presumably have a chance to seize a key role with his new team.
Last year’s first-round pick, Baldwin got off to a rocky start, breaking his thumb in a locker room brawl with Thomas Jones and missing the first five games of the season. When he came back he was only intermittently involved in the offense, netting 53 targets in 11 games, but averaging an abysmal 4.8 YPT. At 6-4, 230, and with good speed for a player his size, Baldwin has all the physical tools to be a No. 1 wideout if he applies himself. He’s not a great route runner, but he’s got good hands, and his big frame and unusual strength make him a potential matchup problem for smaller corners. Baldwin had reportedly been working on his route running and sharpening his understanding of the playbook this offseason, so there’s a good chance for growth in his second year. He’ll likely begin as the team’s No. 3 wideout, though it’s worth noting that Dwayne Bowe’s unhappiness with his franchise tag could portend a holdout.
While Dwayne Bowe had a fantastic season, the Chiefs No. 2 wideout was Chris Chambers—who caught just 22 passes in 13 games. It's therefore no surprise they used the 26th overall pick on Baldwin. At 6-4, 230, Baldwin is big, strong, physical and athletic. He ran a 4.50 40 at the NFL combine, which would be above average for a player his size, and there are reports he's been timed faster than that on previous occasions. Baldwin isn't particularly quick, and it takes him a while to hit his top gear, but he has excellent hands and can go over top of smaller defenders. But a wrist injury he incurred in a locker-room fight with Thomas Jones will force Baldwin to miss half the preseason, and possibly a week or two of regular season action. With the addition of free agent Steve Breaston, this incident will certainly be a major setback for the first rounder, who now has an outside shot at seeing any consistent playing time—If he can redeem himself with teammates and coaches first, that is.
