Giants' 2024 draft board

[FredFromDartmouth]

Does anyone have some comments on the Giants draft board after the draft on Hard Knocks? It look like the Patriots got two of the players colored Purple-supposed character concerns.

Too bad we cannot see the board before the draft.

Yellow. Oh, mellow yellow Milton, dost thou intrigue. Whatever shall thy colour mean? Superduperstar or clown car?

Could it be an age concern? So far in camp he looks like the number one QB so I doubt that yellow means clown car.

I looked around too and could not find an explanation for the yellow color on Milton.

I wonder if it's just a yellow cursor that can highlight any name that you want to select and see his details.

Best guess I saw was a guy who needs to switch position. They were considering Milton as a WR for instance.

best guess i've seen so far - yellow: potential position change ... ie. he wasn't viewed as a true qb prospect

Blue: A+ character
Red: Medical concerns
Purple: Character concerns
Pink: Measurement/size concerns
Gray: Position flexibility
Yellow: Potential position change

Ooops, not anymore:

If BB was still running the show, I suspect that most of the Patriots draft picks would be Blue or, maybe, Red. In the unlikely event that there was a Blue WR, he would be a Patriot, whether he could get open or not and probably a reach. [WR are usually not Blue]. BB tended to over-analyze the WRs and forget FFD's [Fred From Dartmouth] most important criteria: can he get open?

As far as Yellow, position changes from QB to WR have a high failure rate. Malik Cunningham looked terrible when I saw him running routes in camp, but, of course, some transitions, such Bruschi from lineman to LB or CB to safety work very nicely.

Yellow was for someone who can throw the ball 100 yards. And they had highlighted character concerns for the two guys the Patriots drafted, Baker and Bell.

I saw this on X.

BB definitely needed some outside advice when it came to picking wrs so a simpler approach to the position might have been exactly what he needed... Sometimes people are too smart for their own good...

As far as the yellow is concerned, Cunningham could have done well here converting to wr, but I don't think he was a willing participant... Wasn't until he hit Baltimore did that particular reality set in...and the fact that top flight wrs are now pushing 30 million probably made that decision easier (not saying Cunningham will be a top flight wr)

The more apropos transition, an oranges to oranges comparison would be Jules... Edelman was a QB to wr transition that worked out well... Based on his career, it just takes a bit of time
