  • I really don’t know what to say… I’m impressed with Warren this season, but wonder how much of his success and Najee’s struggles are due to schemes. We all talked about it a few weeks ago on here; I know I came away convinced by the argument that defenses had tons of reads on Najee but not with Warren.

    The eye test tells me Warren is good. Numbers like this one are good. But I can’t shake this suspicion that it would be different if each back swapped schemes. I’m genuinely curious what folks think about schemes in this issue.


  • I’m iffy on Nix and Penix for the same reason some folks were iffy on Pickett: they’re all having nice breakouts at older ages in college. There isn’t the same room for growth that you get with a player like Bryce Young, for example.

    I really hope they land another OT in the first round, and a center later on. Joe Alt playing across from Broderick Jones would be amazing. If Penix and Nix are available in the second, maybe take a swing with them for a year or two. I wouldn’t give them more time to develop than Pickett, though.



  • I remember being intrigued by the pick, but I’ve also thought that Pickett should be on a shorter leash. He was envisioned as a low-risk but NFL-ready QB, and he was also older than most blue chip prospects. Personally, I think he’s the kind of player that you start right away and see what you have.

    I thought he showed flashes early next year, but Pickett never quite showed what I was hoping for. I don’t think he would be quite as bad under a better OC, but still essentially a backup-level QB.

    I just don’t see the Giants passing on the opportunity to land a franchise QB, especially for a bunch of lower round picks and Friermuth.

    They’d have to do something really bold, like putting Watt or maybe Pickens into play, to land a shot at Williams or Maye.


  • I think he’s playing below his ceiling even though I don’t think he’s got what it takes to be a starter. My issue is that I think his ceiling is more like 20th in the league, or maybe 15th on a good day. He’s currently around 25th, maybe a smidge lower, when you look at passing stats.

    Basically, he may have room for improvement, but how much can he realistically improve? He isn’t young or a raw talent/project QB, so I just don’t see much room for growth.
