1. New York Giants
Impactful rookies: EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux, OT Evan Neal, WR Wan'Dale Robinson, CB Cordale Flott, OL Joshua Ezeudu, LB Micah McFadden
Neal at No. 7 overall? Steal City. There's even a legitimate argument the Giants got a bargain with Thibodeaux at No. 5. The Cowboys would agree. Robinson went too early but nonetheless will be a fun, gadget feature to the offense. Flott is a lanky but sudden nickel corner who closes on the ball in a hurry. Both North Carolina offensive linemen could see time early, but Ezeudu is more ready and could play multiple positions.
McFadden is the sleeper impact type. He was a tackling machine at Indiana and has the short-area quickness and awareness to be a star underneath in coverage, where a lot of linebackers struggle. In Year 1 of the Joe Schoen/Brian Daboll era, the Giants will get much out of their rookie class.

Great point!!!
I know this wasn't a deep article, but he could also have mentioned a few of the spiffy UDFA's that we brought in and may make the squad.
Eric. I think Corker will have more of an impact than Belton

2 rookies will likely be starting at LB as well if they stick w a 3-4. I doubt Martinez will be ready at the beginning of the season if at all.
Specifically, they may have felt the Chiefs were trying to replace Tyreek Hill.

Being ready and being what he was are potentially two different things — and he’s in the last year of his contract.
Run an out pattern throw the ball high, get a first down.
Drag along the back of the end zone, throw the ball high get a touchdown.
He could prove to be a real weapon.
Or Beavers Love Johnson. Works both ways.
Robinson was taken after trading back. He was taken "early" based on draft boards of scouts and such; however, if you love a guy you take him cause the team next door may feel the same and the team across the street too. You just don't know.
Lets be real: if Robinson produces as a rookie moving the chains and electrifying in gadget areas and specials well at least we got a player that is hard to cover. If Toney gets his butt in gear as well we will be fine at WR.
My hope is that this draft class has a "2007" type impact or better since we have 2 first round picks.
Lets be real: NFL teams are built through the draft. If we get five starters in this draft and two stars then we did really, really well. Its possible, on paper, at this time of year.
