Honestly, my big area of concern is that our entire offense just looks, I don't know, underwhelming? Passing game for first string looks meh, running game looks uninspired, line play looks mediocre.

I know that it is the pre-season and we aren't going to show much, but between Cam sailing a number of passes, the RBs basically running into the line and falling down and Kelvin moving like he's coming off of a knee injury, I'm a bit worried. Sure hope that it squares up before Denver. If we don't get them back for that last game, it might foretell a short season for us.

I don't know how you can choose anything other than the rookie corners, because they are the biggest unknown.

Depth concerns me, particularly at TE, and that does relate to the possibility of injury, but having two rooks at corner looks like a probability. Learning takes time, but experience is the best teacher. They will be on an island, learning on the job, and that's a little scary to me.

I don't think the season will be like last year. Offense will not be as good, defense will be ok, but will not have the big defensive stops they had last year.  Year will be hard to watch in certain points..Starting next week with Denver (Remmers)  I think Camp will remember Von and make some bad decisions with no help from receivers.

I'd argue that pass rush is the (slightly) bigger concern, as pass rush can cover for mediocre secondary play but much harder for it to be vice versa. If the rush is effective, the young CBs will be masked.

Miller is a concern but also the rookies have a bit of my concern.  I think Bradberry will do well w/DThomas but Emmanuel Sanders could be a problem.  Simian's looked pretty good arm wise.  I know he isn't as mentally evolved as Peyton was but he definitely looks like he can make the throws.

    • I am guessing that Cam Ward goes 1 or 2 and Carter goes 2 or 1. It is possible that Hunter goes third.  That would throw Sanders into the Aaron Rodgers free fall alert status. It seems that the Giants have no choice but to take Sanders--but if they like another QB better--like Dart or Will Howard (I am still predicting that Howard continues to creep up boards) they could trade back and still get Dart or Howard or Ewers. NY fans would probably want  GM Joe Schoen's head, but I sense bust in Sanders.   Personally, I would not take Sanders if I needed a QB.  He projects a vibe that he is entitled--better than he is, and his father would be loud and critical if things went any way but the Sanders way, and he is, according to a few articles I read, pursuing a career in music.  Lotta potential noise there.  As a "common" player in college, I would resent the fact that some players are making millions.  Sanders had a towel with a gold buffa---oops---dollar sign embroidered on it.  Almost reminds me of Brian Bosworth coming out of Oklahoma some 40 years ago--lotta hype, lotta self promotion--bust.  Again, just the vibe I am getting.  I think only a desperate team like one of  the NY franchises will take him early.  Cleveland?  Carter or Hunter, depending on what happens with Garrett there. Someone is going to trade up to get an OT. I see the Titans trading out of the #1 pick if they can get a taker--the Giants come to mind. Not sure what this rambling bit of stream of consciousness proved, but I am going to hit "submit reply" now.
    • If we're drafting a RB at #8 overall after both paying Chuba and trading up to draft a RB in the 2nd last year then the entire front office needs to get fired on the spot.
    • I'm glad a lot of us already understood this. The pundits are saying that this draft doesn't have a lot of elite players, but is good on depth. Why would anyone trade away a 2nd or 3rd round player to move up and grab a guy who isn't' significantly better than a player who would be available if the team stayed put. I understand moving up if all of a sudden there is a run on a position and team has that pegged as a major need. That's not happening this year with picks 1-7. We need to stay put unless some idiot GM does offer us a 2nd rounder to move down no more than 4-5 spots.
