Was planning to dig into this today, but seems like
@Doug_Analytics
 already nailed it. Here's his interpretation:

• Blue: A+ character
• Red: Medical concerns
• Purple: Character concerns
• Pink: Measurement/size concerns
• Grey: Position flexibility
• Yellow: Potential position change

Pretty crazy for this to have gotten past all the people who have to watch this stuff before it hits air.  Every time they showed Schoen's white board in the office it was blurred out but somehow this monstrosity gets through??  Sheesh.

I thought the order in which the QB's were listed was of particular interest. Bob

I have to say, I'm surprised the Giants allowed this to be aired.

I appreciate it's only revealing their plans about an event that already happened, but if I'm truly trying to be as airtight as possible as a franchise, I don't want anyone else even getting a whiff of how we do things at that granular a level.

Not a huge deal obviously, but I am still a little surprised by it.

Bob,

This is the order they were drafted.  The board is just the taken board.  The color coding is what slipped past the team's management and gives some insights into what NYG thought of the prospects

I think it gave away a little information the Giants would have preferred not to give away (what they thought of various prospects).

I think one thing that is less than ideal is how the 4 Giants draft picks who weren't color-coded blue feel about not making that cut.  The only blues were Nuben and 6th pick Muaseu

Not every one is the blue ra ra leader, you need those yes, but having a full team of them is probably not good. You need the dogs too, ala Nabers and Theo. You need a balance, couple blues, couple dogs, couple of team guys, couple of elite guys etc should be a melting pot.

I agree with that.  I just know being tagged blue or not is not something the team will tell their picks.  Human nature, most will want to think they were tagged blue

[MrGap92]

So would Nabers not having a tag mean anything? Theybhad Odunze as blue, clearly liked Nabers better

[AZGiantFan]

Nabers didn't have the dreaded purple tag, which is all I really care about.  I'd rather have the better player with an edge than the not quite as good blue tag guy.  The blue tag reminds me of the year where it seemed as if the Giants drafted all team captains.  How'd that work out?
