Here’s something to think about: in the 2016 draft, the Giants took Apple at the 8th spot. The Saints took Rankins at 10. What a whale of a draft that turned out to be for us. We picked twice in the top 10 and didn’t even know it.
They actually drafted Apple #10 and we drafted Rankins at 12. I liked the trade when it went down. He was a reach being picked that high but still had a first round grade. Crawley jus regressed this year for whatever reason and we needed someone with ability. Good trade.
