Kenny Robinson didn’t make the 53....

I’m surprised people are talking about this more. I know lots of people including myself had high hopes for the guy. Considering the lack of talent at the position it seemed like he was going to be a lock. Now he’s on our practice squad and could be picked up by another team at any time.

 

if I remember correctly this guy needed money to pay for his mothers doctor bills and went to the XFL. I thought getting experience in a professional football league would have helped him more than playing in college.

 

maybe I was just over hyping the guy, but I’m shocked that no one is talking about this in the forum.

I'm really hopeful for him.  From what I saw of him in the XFL he looked like a legit player.  So yeah, I was both surprised and disappointed that he was cut, especially over a guy like Thomas-Oliver, who was a later pick, considered much more of a developmental prospect, and someone I hadn't heard anything about throughout camp.  

Not saying I wanted STO cut either, just saying in comparison, I was surprised by the move, but glad he's still on the PS.

There is literally almost zero difference between a 5th rounder and a UDFA. Might as well just pull names out of a hat after round 4.

I'm excited an undrafted kid took his spot. Tells me we have have found a real keeper. 

Robinson cleared waivers and is back on the practice squad where hopefully he improves. 

I assume your talking about the CB from ole miss?

To be fair, they kept 4 Undrafted guys. And I'm not so sure if any of these guys are "real keepers." Only time will tell if they found some diamonds in the rough.

Making our roster this year in particular isn't a great indicator of being a long-term "keeper", that's for sure.

On the flip side, failing to make our roster this year might be a really good indicator that you're quite simply not NFL caliber. I get it, some decent guys get caught up in a numbers game on some rosters with excellent depth at certain positions. I'm honestly not seeing that particular position group on this roster.

    • I love when people go after his YAC ability as if he wasn't 5th in the Big 12 this past season in YAC, because he was. And you can say his style of YAC doesn't mesh with this type of game, but that on its face is just nonsense, because if he's good enough to be 5th in a major conference, it clearly meshes well with his game. The reason you say it doesn't, is because you think all he is good at is making contested catches because of his radius, but because you haven't watched enough of his full tape, you don't realize that he's consistently used in the screen and short slant game to get the ball in his hands because he actually is a solid YAC guy because he's surprisingly agile for a player of his size.   No, he's no Tyreek, but he has more than enough wiggle to his game that you combine it with everything he does at an elite level because of his size, and it makes for a guy who is going to be a consistent 1k yard and 10+ TD player.  He can be the true outside #1 that we need, but he's also versatile enough to be moved into the slot at times to scheme the ball into his hands against smaller nickel corners or slower linebackers. He's a slightly less physical Mike Evans but with more agility, my comp was always AJ Green.  He's going to be an elite #1 WR in this league for the next decade, if he's there and we pass on him to trade down for another WR, we will regret it for a long time.
    • Here is my theory--The Giants are not 100% happy with their pass rush--15 sacks combined between Thib (6) and Burns (9).  In 2026, The Giants will have to make a choice about Thib.  They would then have 2 Edge rushers on second contracts--probably costing around $65m for both.  Many teams want edge players; draft Carter and trade Thib.  Carter's second contract would be due when Burns' contract expires.  In essence, the Giants would have better Edge rushers at a cost of about $40m.  You could probably get a high draft pick for Thib and save $25m. All that to say, "I don't think they are set at edge yet."
    • I think we should, start new for the playoffs if everyone’s game.
