As I sat and watched the New York Giants’ pick (my pick) at No. 25 in Round 1 in the annual SB Nation writer’s mock draft approach, I began to see how the scenario would unfold.
By pick No. 22 (Baltimore Ravens), the top four cornerbacks — Christian Gonzalez, Devon Witherspoon, Joey Porter Jr., Deonte Banks — were off the board. Same with wide receiver, where Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Zay Flowers and Jordan Addison were gone.
I could see a choice between TCU wide receiver Quentin Johnston, Alabama safety Brian Branch, Clemson defensive lineman Brian Bresee and Mississippi State cornerback Emmanuel Forbes developing.
