Still some studs on board

At Safety

Gardner Johnson was projected the top safety by some people and mostbif not all mocks had him going late 1st early 2nd

Hooker was projected early 3rd.  Iowa has produced some good DBs as of late.  His biggest knock was people questioned his athletic ability but posted a sub 4.5 at the combine

Dieonte Thompson at one point earoy this year was projected a top 10 pick and then his stock topk a hit.  Really had a terrible national championship game.  Real raw, young, shouldve returned a year.  Kinda reminds me of Trai Turner in a sense coming out

Hakeem Butler, Big Freak WR who most had going late 1st early 2nd.

Kelvin Harmon and Riley Ridley still stiiting there, 2 solid possession WRs

 

Christian Miller, edge rusher, who some had penciled to us is the 2nd or 3rd is still on the board

Charles Omenihu, big Freak 3-4 DE who had a dominat senior bowl and most thought would go 2nd.  Reminds me a lot of Calais Campbell

Renell Wren, Big Power Athletic DT still on the board.  Didnt see him falling past the middle of the 3rd

Amani Oruwariye- Big Freak CB, who most had in the 1st or early 2nd.  No one saw him falling out of the 2nd

Hakeem Butler would make sense, big body replacement for Funchess. Then we can cut Torrey Smith and save $5 million. 

Giants Pick ahead of us

 

Id be shocked to see Gettleman pass on Hakeem knowing Gettlemans history of WRs

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
