Round 1 (9th Overall) Amari Cooper, Wide Receiver University of Alabama
Many will be clamoring to fix the offensive line in the first round; however, the value just isn’t there at 9th overall unless they trade back in the draft. Cooper is the best route runner in the draft and has set receiving records all while going against some of the toughest defenses in all of college football in the SEC. With Cruz coming off an injury that puts his effectiveness in doubt and Rueben Randle in a contract year, I believe General Manager, Jerry Reese will not be able to pass up on taking the best player available. Having two stud wide receivers on rookie contracts for the next four years will be huge for the Giant’s future success.
Round 2 (40th Overall) Jake Fisher, Offensive Tackle University of Oregon
The Giants get their offensive lineman in the 2nd round. Fisher is a former tight end that was able to transition smoothly to offensive tackle while at Oregon. He excels at creating leverage against defenders and has the potential to be a bookend tackle for the Giants for years to come. He most likely comes in and starts day one from one of the tackle positions.
Round 3 (74th Overall) Gerod Holliman, Safety University of Louisville
Holliman would solve the Giants glaring hole at Safety after the departure of Antrel Rolle to the Bears. Holliman is the defending Thorpe award winner for the nation’s best defensive back and an absolute ball hawk. The Cardinal safety tied an FBS record with 14 interceptions on the season in just 13 games. This pick would go a long way to shoring up the Giants safety issues
I would be very happy with The first one,as it's the most ideal. Fisher would be a great pick at 40. A LT who has experience at G with a lot of upside. I think I would Take a chance on Rollins over Holliman in the 3rd if he were there. Only one year of production after switching from basketball,but has a lot of talent and upside. More than Holliman IMO. Although I believe Gerod will be good player as well.
I would rather have Devante Parker in the first but Cooper is going to be a solid player as well,with the potential to be a pro bowl player,where as Parker has the upside to be the best receiver in football,but I'll take it!! :)
