22. New York Giants

QB. Miami (Fl.). Brad Kaaya . 22. player. 31. E <p>xpectations are high for the New York Giants offense in 2016, and with good reason. Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. are coming off Pro Bowl appearances. They’re joined by a finally healthy Victor Cruz and promising rookie Sterling Shepard. That passing attack has a chance to become one of the best in the NFL. For how though is a fair question. Don’t forget that Manning, for all his success, will be 36-years old in January of 2017. His time is growing short and there’s no telling when the cliff might come for him.</p> <p>Combined with a developing problem at the backup position, the Giants have to consider drafting a quarterback early. They could do a lot worse than Brad Kaaya. Some believe his potential could make him a top-10 pick next year.</p> <p>He’s already learning to play like an efficient pro, making good decisions with the football and throwing accurate passes. He’s got size, arm strength and understands how to play from within the pocket. Once he learns he can be more aggressive, he’s going to be a handful for defenses.</p>
