Figured this would be a cool thread to track throughout the season. Playes we could have drafted, players we passed on, players taken just before us, Players at comparable positions to our players picked, players we did draft, etc.
Last night we saw the #2 pick CJ Stroud make his preseason debut:
Dont say I didnt warn you about that Ohio State QB syndrome.

Thoughts on the Giants rookies?
I thought Banks looked like a rookie CB, but Hawkins I do like. Gray looked pretty bland and boring. JMS was OK I guess.
Gibbs for the Lions will be a good one.

I thought Banks and Hawkins both played well for their first game. JMS was good enough to not be a concern. Gray looked good on STs, I agree, bland on regular play. Owens had some nice plays, and certainly showed potential. Hyatt didn't do anything special, but wasn't really put in a position to do so either. |

2 more rookie WRs I really liked had some good first games,
5th rounder Dontayvion Wicks had 3 catches for 68 yards
and
6th rounder Andrei Iosivas had 4 catches for 50 yards

Loved the play where Gray lowered his shoulder on a Detroit LB to get a couple of extra yards for a first down |

Rough start for the rookie QBs...got to love the footwork. I kept saying, I watched a lot of him at Florida. He isnt a good QB. He is an athlete. I was already thinkin gbust when I heard he was going 1st round. To go at 4 was embarrassing. He was a late round QB IMO. *Not just from that one INT, but from watching him in college. |

I was a big fan of Israel Abanikanda too, to beefen up the backfield. From Brooklyn too. Jets got him though.
12 carries for 56 yards and 3 catches for 31 yards.
He was a 5th round draft pick, went just before we drafted Gray.
I think he is going to be a dog out there.

Rough start for the rookie QBs...got to love the footwork. Tuff stuff for the kid. Not his fault he was drafted that high. He is a late round developmental qb that really needs to be on the PS.. Their FO had a Gentlemen moment at the draft. Colts are a dumpster fire, he will not do well this year |

He needs to be developed and they dont seem to have the staff ot the willingness to do that. This is a great example of a QB that needs to sit for a year or so behind a vet who knows how to play the game. Minshew is not a great example to follow either |

Minshew is not a great example to follow either I was surprised to see there were a couple Giants fan social media influencers who wanted to draft Richardson after a playoff year but I think he will be interesting to watch. As a passer he looks all over the place but looks like they will use him as a runner a lot. At 245 pounds and runs close to a 4.4, there have been very few players in the NFL with a combination of that size and speed...running QBs have seen more success lately so who knows. I really didn't watch him much in Florida though. |

Speaking of rookie QBs, one of my sleepers was Stanfords Tanner McKee. Of course the Eagles would land him late in the draft.
Looked good last night, against roster bubble guys but still, he was also playing with roster bubble guys.
10-18, 147 yards 1 TD 0 INTs
Hope he wasn't a steal for them.

I only have this and have never seen him play. As far as the Eagles go he is the polar opposite of Hurts. Their scheme and plan doesn't fit this kid at all. If they put him on "IR" to stash him then one would think they want to keep him around. If he goes to the PS then they are OK with him nit being around to a degree. |

Another RB I liked who went to Dallas. Mini Deuce I like to see small players succeed but wish he didn't play for Dallas...already annoys me. Looks like he's making plays whenever he touched the ball..I wonder if his body can hold up. I heard he was durable in college. His cutting seems insanely fast. |

I felt like Deuce Vaughn and the RB the Jets got late Israel Abanikanda from Pitt were very underrated. |
