For reasons unknown, high-ranking prospects seem to slip every year in the draft in favor of higher-upside players that seem to have more prototypical attributes. The New York Giants will have an opportunity to grab a top option with the No. 17 pick, and there’s one player that I have in mind that could make a significant impact on the defense.
Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver is the prospect with the ability to slip to No. 17, but why? Some have Oliver mocked in the first 10 picks of the draft while others have him falling to the middle of the round.
