It takes a lot for a team to draft a dynamic, exciting, do-just-about-everything player, see him live up to or exceed just about every on-field expectation the organization and the outside world had for him, and still have people wonder if the pick was a mistake.

Namely, the ones the Giants could have taken with that selection, and the one with whom he is beginning his Giants career.
