Stock Down:  Ryan Nassib

Trading up in the 4th round was a clear indication the New York Giants liked what they saw from Ryan Nassib coming out of Syracus.  The guy has good size and a live arm.  With some proper development, who knows he might be able to give the team an excuse to move on from Eli Manning, who is 34-years old and in the last year of contract.

If that was the plan, they may need to rethink it.  Nassib was all over the place in the opener against Cincinnati, connecting on just 8-of-18 passes for 79 yards.  The lack of accuracy was troubling and does little to boost his stock in league circles as a potential starter in waiting.
