We all know Beckham will be a star no 1 WR in this league. Richberg has the potential to anchor our OL at center or guard for the next decade. Bromley has FINALLY been let loose and impressed with his pass rush and passion. Andre Williams had his best rushing game today and does not appear to be a bust running behind a subpar OL. Devon Kennard has reminded us what real Giants linebacking is like.
Now if Nat Berhe can at least be a reliable backup safety (or more), then Reese just hit a home run out of this draft.
Thanks Titans for giving us optimism...even if it is false!
OBJ, in contrast, is looking like perhaps the best pick in the draft.
Reese might also have finally struck gold with a late-round LBer. It took long enough, but this kid Kennard is the real deal. We don't know how much he will improve but we have already seen enough to know he as a damn good pick.
Williams has also shown enough to be labeled a "solid pick" in the fourth.
Bromley looking like the only Reese "reach pick." But obviously it's early.
Over grade: A
This team started last season 0 - 6, and had a seven game losing streak this season, including some unbelievable collapses. One win over a horrendous team changes nothing IMO. We are 4 - 9.
The only reason to be optimistic about that move is that Richburg is undersized at guard but may be okay size for a center.

The 2009 draft was bad for a lot of teams. I think we did well to get a star WR in the first (albeit brief) and a solid LT in the second. The 2012 draft was a killer though.
If we're lucky, guys like Richburg and Kennard will be pretty good players. Let's not get hyped up by a good performance against a terrible team.
The defense? Ugh. Prince, DRC, Hankins and Kennard, and who knows what else. Lot of work to do there.
Andre Williams is a fantastic back. Runs with authority and reminds me of Chris ivory's/Eddie lacy power with a nice sudden speed burst like David Wilson. He accelerates to his max speed quickly.
I also like kennard. He's a strict OLB who can play in line on pressure packages on third and long situations to dictate 1on1 matchups. It will be interesting to see if he can play in space next preseason, or if he has any kind of long range speed to cover TEs. Again perfect pick get a player who can contribute immediately in situational football.
Bromley's grade is incomplete, but it worries me we saw Kuhn play before he did. Kuhn is a bubble player next year for sure.
ODB is , ODB.
Looks like we got a solid haul of players who all have very high floors-- you need guys who are simply middle of the road, league average players to fill out your roster. These are the guys who your stars elevate.
Still, the 2009 draft was awful, that stupid Sintim pick..
They almost had it going by game #5 but the false security most of us had in the new Oline got exposed for what it is. Shit. Poo-poo ca-ca.
You fix that Oline, improve the Dline and have better luck with injuries, there's no reason the Giants won't win the NFC East in 2015.
The Titans will be picking In the top 3 for a reason.
Everybody else is subject until proven otherwise.
I like him too. But he has only played a few games and has had an injury history here and at USC. Lets hope he stays healthy. It's nice having an active LB for a change
We had so many other problem areas to fix: TE, OL etc.
I'm not saying who we should have drafted instead but Zach Fulton, drafted IMMEDIATELY after Jackson, would have a good addition to the OL.
It was great to see all the young guys on the field, and contributing!
The Titans, at least yesterday's version, may very well be the worst team in the league, so a good starting point.
Each of the following weeks (Wash-STL- Phila) represents and increasing level of talent as opponents. Let's see how the young guys perform each week, and then Giants can game plan their off-season from there.
I am encouraged by what I saw from Moore, Bromley, Kennard, Richburg, Williams, Harris, and of course OBj yesterday. I hope we can see more from Berhe, Harris, and Washington this coming Sunday.
If the Giants want to get back to winning the division and playoff games, these last 4 games have to give them a true barometer of where their young players stand.
i will say it over and over again
the issues with the NY Giants during the Tom Couglin era
have not been Kevin Gilbride , or Perry Fewel or Resse
it is
the NY GIANTS strength and conditioning program
It is causing our team to be depleted year after year
and causing potentially good players on this team to have their career cut short.
