Rhodes is banged up. That alone is pretty big. Although after Mike Thomas dog walked him in the playoffs I don't exactly fear the guy.

The bits I have read said he was great in camp and one of their best and most improved players this year. I guess we see in the coming weeks.

I'm thinking we trade the 2 before the draft so the front office can get a extended break after a superb owl run.

Re: Giants trading Eli Apple to saints

From Mike Clay who does a very good weekly WR/CB matchup column:

“Not sure I understand this one for the Giants. Apple seemed to be playing much better. Recent 1st rounder, only 23, every-down player. Seems like he'd be a good future asset.

As for the Saints, yet another win-now move. Apple will slide in opposite Marshon Lattimore and is an upgrade over Ken Crawley.“

Re: Giants trading Eli Apple to saints

I get its win now
But you don't get a 23 year old with 2 years on his deal and a 5th year option as only win now. If this plays out its a genius piece of work as you are very unlikely to get anything of his quality in the 4th

Giants trading Eli Apple to saints

Saints acquire CB Eli Apple from Giants for 2019 4th-round pick, 2020 7th-round pick
Now this is what the going rate for an underachieving first-round pick should be. When it was announced that Eli Apple was traded, I quickly wondered what the compensation would be. I came up with a fourth-round selection, and that's exactly what it was.

Eli Apple was the 10th-overall selection in the 2015 NFL Draft, and he looked awful Monday night trying to defend Atlanta's receivers. However, he has loads of talent, and he's only 23. He still has time to find himself, and it's possible he could be a late bloomer. The Saints have terrific coaches who should get the most out of him. Trading a first-round choice for Apple would've been a disaster, but a fourth-rounder is totally worth it.

The Giants, meanwhile, made out well in this trade, too. Apple had been a major disappointment for them, and it sounded like they would consider parting ways with him following the 2018 campaign. Thus, getting a fourth-round selection for him is a great move.

Unlike the Amari Cooper trade, this one is close to even. I'll give the Giants a slight edge, but if the Saints get the most out of Apple, they'll be seen as the winners in this deal.

Grade for Saints - B+
Grade for Giants - A-
