Alright folks, buckle up. Been tracking this Giants draft situation like a hawk on cheap coffee, figured I’d dump my messy notes here. Started simple: just wanted to know who the heck from their picks is actually still on the team right now amidst all this crazy offseason noise.
The Initial Madness Scrolling
Fired up the laptop this morning, slammed coffee number two, and dove into the usual rumor pits online. Holy crap, the news feed was exploding. First thing smacked me in the face? K’von Wallace getting straight-up released. Saw that headline from a few weeks back bouncing around again. Dude got cut loose back in late August. Honestly? Bit of a shocker at the time, but seeing it again today reminded me how fast things change. Then TJ Moore landing on IR? Oof. Just adds to the feeling of constant turnover, you know?
Kept scrolling and bam – Zach Pascal keeps popping up. Saw articles from waaay back in March saying the Giants signed him. Some talked about his time with the Colts, catching a bunch of passes. Seemed like they wanted his experience? Then more stuff popping up later, basically confirming he was still hanging around. Felt like chasing ghosts sometimes.
Trying to Track the New Faces
So, rookies and newbies, right? How to even keep track? Found this piece about jersey numbers! Honestly? Lifesaver. From early September, just days before the opener. It listed the numbers for thirteen new players. Way easier to connect a name and a number than trying to memorize faces in preseason highlights. Used that list like my bible this morning while looking up who survived the cuts. Saw that list, checked it against the recent releases – felt like detective work, but slower.
Also remembered skimming something months ago about the Giants bigwigs – GM Schoen, Coach Daboll – jetting off to Colorado’s Pro Day before the draft. That piece was from early April. They were eyeing top prospects like Shedeur Sanders, probably dreaming big with that #3 overall pick. Makes you wonder who from that trip actually ended up here.
Figuring Out Who’s Actually Here
Putting it all together felt like wrestling an octopus. The Wallace news? Shows safety spot is still kinda shaky, I guess. Releasing a guy they only just brought in? What does that even say? Pascal sticking around? Feels like a solid depth move for the receivers, hope the dude stays healthy. And those rookie jersey numbers? Crucial for actually recognizing the new guys on the field! Right now, after today’s digging and seeing the cuts and the signings settle? Feels like the roster is a living thing, breathing in new players, coughing out others constantly. Still figuring out exactly which draft picks from the last couple years have truly locked down spots versus the ones hanging on by a thread or already vanished. Takes serious squinting through the rumors and official scraps they toss out.
Next step for me? Probably drown in more training camp reports and see who actually gets playtime next week. Then maybe try another mock draft for next year just to see how clueless I really am about what these Giants clowns might do. Feels like a trainwreck sometimes, but hey, it’s our trainwreck. What else are Sundays for?
