NFL.com’s College Football Writer Chase Goodbread projected the top 100 NFL rookies of 2016 and five of the six New York Giants draft picks made the cut. Find out where they placed and who was left out below.

We’ve published plenty of articles scrutinizing the Giants’ draft strategy over the past two weeks. We’ve handed out our draft grades. We relayed what was going on behind-the-scenes during the furious first round that saw the Giants have an “intelligence failure”. We marveled at how the Giants passed on a Draft Day 1 trade with the Jets that could’ve landed them three top picks in the first two rounds. And, we answered the 5 biggest draft questions. That said, five of six picks making the top 100? That’s pretty impressive considering there were more than 200 players taken.

For me, there were two big takeaways from Goodbread’s rankings, which I’ll get to in a bit. For now, let’s dive into the five Giants rookies that placed along with Chase’s commentary.
