Shouldn't the RoY Β 
montanagiant : 1/15/2019 2:47 pm : link
Come from the Defense and Offense RoY? How can you be RoY as a QB but not Offensive RoY?
Damn Phillip Lindsey Β

Had we not taken Will H at 34 overall, Colts might have with the next pick. They had 3rd overall pick in the draft and traded back with Jets in rd 1.

games played was likely a factor, same with Lindsay splitting carries for 3/4 of the season. It probably kept him fresh but he could have had a lot more production.
There was a lot of production... Β 
bw in dc : 1/15/2019 3:13 pm : link
from this rookie class. Off to a great start as one of the best classes we have seen in a long time.

And there was real production across nearly every position. I watched a lot of games and probably saw impact plays from almost every one on this team.



That’s A Heck Of A Group Of Linebackers Β 
Trainmaster : 1/15/2019 3:30 pm : link
Wow
Were any of those undrafted? Β 
FranknWeezer : 1/15/2019 3:36 pm : link
What were some of the latest-drafted players to make that list?

I'll hang up and listen.
It’s why the colts improved so much Β 
Carl in CT : 1/15/2019 3:49 pm : link
Fixed their OL (Luck back didn’t hurt either).
Really good Β 
mittenedman : 1/15/2019 3:55 pm : link
rookie class. And this draft is supposed to be even better.
another reason Gettleman sucks Β 
YAJ2112 : 1/15/2019 4:16 pm : link
only 2 rookies on this list? WTF? Get someone in here who knows talent already.
The Giants have had several players on this team Β 
Ten Ton Hammer : 1/15/2019 4:59 pm : link
In recent years.

I hope the Giants draft a good center Β 
Jay on the Island : 1/15/2019 5:48 pm : link
We saw how the addition of Jamon Brown, who was up and down, affected the play of the entire offensive line. If they add a good center and bring back Brown or bring in an upgrade then that will make life easier for the OT's as well.
Need a RT and a Pass rusher Β 
uconngiant : 1/15/2019 6:50 pm : link
Love Ed Oliver or Josh Allen in round one and Trey Adams or Jawann Taylor in round two for the RT.
That rookie OL there Β

makes our line look sick. I'd take that line right now and be happy for the next ten years.

Only problem is you would need 5 picks within the first 34 picks to get that line. The raiders are close, having four with first 35 picks. Even then, you would need the talent level to match and not have any Ereck Flowers type prospects in there.

Indy did more than fix the OL. They had an unbelievable draft from top to bottom. Of their eleven picks, all made the team except WR Deon Cain, who was looking great until he tore an ACL and landed on IR. The two rookie RBs both had big roles behind Mack. WR Daurice Fountain was a late promotion to the roster from the practice squad.

On defense, they picked five front-seven players and they all contributed. Leonard was the standout, obviously. Turay and Lewis combined for six sacks despite missing a ton of time with injuries. Even the two seventh-rounders saw quality time at LB.
