NFL Cut down Date

Interesting they'd trade for Rouse in that case.

Unless this dude actually can't play. He's not *good*, but I didn't think he was in the 'can't play' camp.

Not sure, but worth noting that Neal, a 2022 first-round pick for the Giants, didn't have his option picked up last year and ended up signing a vet-minimum deal with the Giants this year.

fair enough
I recalled the on-the day discussions incorrectly.
Of course, now we all accept the major reach and congratulate staff.

TIL a 5th round pick is a 'major reach'.

Also, he made the team.

I acknowledge that I was wrong at the time.

However, I view him a 6th round value that made the team, certainly a fine pick. Kudos the coach that provided the input.

And, yes, I probably shouldn't be calling anyone after the 4th a "major reach". I am just recalling where Prunty was on the various big boards at the time.

So...taking what you value as a 6th rounder...in the 5th round...is a 'major reach'?

I was wrong about him: what a disappointment.

The ratings by the mediots was late DAY 3. Please list any Big Board where he was in the top 200.

FROM GOOGLE AI
No major draft analyst rated Karon Prunty in the top 200; instead, he had a consensus big board rank of 512 and was generally ranked outside the top 50 cornerbacks (such as 57th on Dane Brugler's board). [1, 2]
The New England Patriots selected Prunty 171st overall in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, which was considered a significant reach relative to public media rankings and consensus boards. However, the team's internal evaluation was much higher, supported by a pre-draft top-30 visit. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Again, kudos to the coach who pushed for him.
