The more of these I do, and I've done these at least the past two weeks, the less sure I seem to be in a few places. Fact is, there are some really difficult choices to be made. No matter what the Giants do, they will be exposing some NFL-caliber players to the waiver wire. At tight end, for example, I have the Giants keeping four. If they don't keep him, he almost certainly lands on somebody's man roster.
At wide receiver I keep bouncing back and forth between Barden and Jernigan. Maybe, somehow, they both make it. My gut tells me the Giants still see more upside in Jernigan than in Barden. Could you possible cut them all and go with four defensive ends? I have only three safeties on the final roster, and that's risky.
Maybe you drop a defensive end to make room for one more safety. Maybe you drop a tight end for the same reason. I can't figure out a way, barring injuries, that they all end up with one. At cornerback, both McBride and James have impressed since the first day of training camp. Highly unlikely they can both make the team. And, what do you do with Cooper Taylor? It seems unlikely the fifth-round pick would pass through waivers and make it to the practice squad.
But he hasn't done anything yet. Can you carry him as an extra safety and hope he can catch up after missing a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury?

There's value in seeing players perform with my own two eyes, which is why I make the mile round trip trek each year.
And with John Fox, we know from years past that he puts a lot of weight on training camp success - more than he puts on what round you were drafted or how big your free agent contract is. These 53 men plus eight practice squadders are winning the race, one week into training camp. We'll check back regularly with updated projections, including after the Broncos' first preseason game next week!

Illinois defensive tackle Corey Liuget is not quite a consensus choice for the St. Louis Rams at No. Every selection listed here has the Rams taking a defensive lineman under the assumption receivers A.
Green and Julio Jones will not be available. That makes sense. The Arizona Cardinals should have multiple attractive options at No. There's been talk of the Cardinals trading back, but this team also needs difference-makers.
Getting the top-rated player at a position should have appeal. It's very difficult projecting what might happen for the Seattle Seahawks at No. Trading the pick is one plausible scenario. No one seems to know how the team will value the quarterbacks. Mike Mayock's projection of Marvin Austin is intriguing, but some reports see Austin as a high-risk prospect.
The same goes for cornerback Jimmy Smith , who is not listed but could appeal if he remains available late in the first round.
