Is it just me or does this draft class look very similar to the Giants draft class last year when they got contributions from almost all of them?

I also think that it ironic that this was the first class without the "guru" Parcells and Ireland.

Felix, Jenkins, Bennett, Choice, and Scandrick have all been contributors and we have only played 2 games. Felix, Jenkins, and Bennett all had huge plays on Monday night.

I'm so stoked about this class and what the future holds. These guys are only going to get better as the season moves along!

Most of us are very excited ..... some people are not able to let their agendas go unfortunately.

and some pout and throw fits because Dallas did not draft their guy. Our rookies are contributing right now and making plays. Are they playing as much as you want? Who cares what you want the fact is they are contributing but you are too busy whining because Dallas did not do what you wanted.

Yeah, this class looks strong.

I hope Jenkins can step into that starting role as the season wears on the same way Ross of the G-men did last year.

As Bennett matures and gets experience, this game will slowdown and then watchout.

Felix the Cat, wow.....nothing else needs to be said.

Choice is a good backup & special teamer.

I haven't seen much of Scandrick, but the potential is there.

It has only been 2 games, god are you dense? You are going to equate 2 weeks as the entire year? Wake up get a clue or something or try showing some semblance of patients to see how these players get added to the mix. Dallas is not in a position where we must rely on a rookie we have the luxury of slowly adding them into the mix.

The guy is an agenda troll.

judging by your quote of him, he wants me to answer if Jerry is a good GM ..... Yes ...... because Jerry never fired a winning coach.

Jerry and Jimmy parted ways because of a personality conflict ...... Jimmy wanted to go.

This troll is trying to say that is the same thing as firing Marty because his team lost in the playoffs after going 14-2.

He just likes to stir up real fans.

yes its only been two games....just like last year the 8-12 years of cushion was because of Jacquee Reeves and things would change when our starters game back and any other excuses

Very strong draft class to be sure.

Felix has proven to be exactly what we needed.
He has been our primary kick returner for all of 2 games and now owns team records.....

Jenkins showed his ridiculous speed against the Eagles and Scandrick is an able special teamer and depth DB.

Even Bennett who is a head case looks like a special athlete. Watching him stand next to Witten, it was amazing how much taller and lean he looked. Then on that one catch his speed was definitely evident.

There are always a few guys you wish you could go back and draft but this draft class is an A class so far.

It's still early, but so far I would agree somewhat.

So far, Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick have been equal to Aaron Ross, likewise with Martellus Bennett and Kevin Boss. Ahmad Bradshaw has a slight edge over the Felix Jones/Tashard Choice combo, but I can see that advantage wiped out pretty quickly.

The Giants retain the overall advantage with draft value at wide receiver (Steve Smith) and free safety (Michael Johnson). I think that's the only true advantage with Zak DeOssie and Adam Koets sitting behind entrenched starters.
