Not a lot of discussion about this guy. I think he might be the best sure thing prospect in the draft. It's very unlikely that 3 qbs go before 4 but it's pretty likely you see 2 go, which means either Okudah or Young are going to be on the board. We have invested a lot at cb already but I think it's gonna be hard to pass on this kid.
Apparently he's a cornerback - not sure though since there hasn't been a lot of discussion about him.

Jeff Okudah? Haven't seen him mentioned before.

Is he any good? :)
Would not be surprised to see him fall to 5-10.
Between Bradberry, Baker, and Okudah THat would be a lot of $$$ at the position, that we should probably be spending on Edge or OLT. So I wouldn't go that way in the end.
Right now I'm Wills/Becton or Simmons at #4.

Who knows? But I heard from a reliable source that he might be the best sure thing prospect in the draft.
4.5? We just making things up... Should I counter with no he ran a 4.4?
I'd be happy with any of them.
I have no problem picking a potential pro bowl CB at 4 even with the unit we have now.
Exactly not to mention we drafted Love and Ballentine last year as well

You don't pass on a perennial pro-bowler because you spent a 4th on a safety and a 6th on a development cb the year before.
If Jeff is on top of their value board , the Giants should take him . As for all these corners , Baker is thought by many to be a conversion candidate to safety . From what we have seen from Beal he is injury prone and touchy feely in coverage . Ballentine was sub-par . Haley is targeted every time he gets on the field . Ok we will presume better coaching will help . But please don’t tell me the Giants are set at corner .

I'd say especially with the unit we have now.

This, exactly.
And even if the Giants ARE set at corner, if he is at the top of your board, take him anyway. There's 5+ years of injuries and disappointments ahead of this team, and worst case scenario is you have a #1 caliber cb playing at #2 cb.
If they have positions of need graded as high then obviously that's the pick, but ruling out a cb entirely is not the right move.
'Not Haley' sounds pretty good at nickel.
