Couple of insights from Connor Hughes

The Giants actually had a completed report on Sanders ready if he declared for last year's draft. He would have been a target in the second or third round.

SNY touched base with several league sources in recent weeks. Not one had Sanders or Ward better than the fourth-best option in last year's class, to put their caliber of prospect into perspective. In fact, three sources from three different teams all said that J.J. McCarthy, if he were in this year's draft, would be the No. 1 quarterback. It wouldn't be all that close.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are among the most effectively-run organizations in the NFL. They chose to move on from Fields despite his 4-2 mark for a reason. The Bears had no problem trading him, too. A source of mine in Pittsburgh implored me to "watch the tape" when I questioned moving from Fields to Russell Wilson. There are guys running open, most players on their first reads, and Fields either wouldn't pull the trigger or would miss them.

I'd keep an eye on: Kirk Cousins. Most around the NFL believe he'll be an effective quarterback again once he's further removed from the Achilles injury. He'll also be dirt cheap to sign if the Falcons cut him.
