Fourth Round – Chad Kelly, QB, Ole Miss

Chad Kelly would fit in perfectly with Ben McAdoo’s offense. Kelly just suffered a torn ACL and torn Meniscus last week ending his career at Ole Miss. He will fall to the fourth round with this injury and that is when the Giants should pick him up.

Manning would be the perfect mentor for Kelly. Manning also went to Ole Miss. The Giants wouldn’t need him to start right away which would give him even more time to heal his knee. Kelly has the ability to throw the ball over the field because he has a strong arm.

Kelly would be able to get the ball down the field to the Giants quick wide receivers.It is unknown how long Manning plans on playing but he is getting up there in age. This is the perfect draft to get a quality quarterback. The 2017 draft is stacked with good quarterbacks. Who knows when that will happen again.

Unlike Manning, Kelly would be able to make plays with his legs and isn’t afraid to get hit. Kelly does make risky throws down the field, but he is competitively tough. He has a fearlessness about him that could get a team excited.

Kelly would be a perfect fit for the Giants and McAdoo. This is the direction they would need to go in for life after Manning. Kelly is athletic and will do whatever it takes to win. Lets not forget, his uncle is Hall-of-Famer Jim Kelly.
