1. Donte Whitner, SS
Picked high, but if he works out who cares. Great coverage guy, hard-hitting ball hawk, and most of all a high-character lockeroom leader. Fills a need.
1. John McCargo, DT
Academic all-american, the other 2 were off the board the Giants after their trade down were likely to pick him and at 6'1 302 pounds hes a great 3 technique DT. Not only fills a need, but again is one of those types of players we dont have to worry about on or off the field. Watson and Wroten were never an option so realistically he was the highest DT we could have taken. And all we gave up was our 2nd 3rd rounder. DT was priority to OT at this point in the draft.
3. Ashton Youboty, CB
Absolute steal here, and with a few extra pounds and a year behind Nate this kid teamed with his teammate Whitner has potential to be a #1 CB. Not only that but his chemistry with Whitner and McGee on the other side gives us a nice young secondary for years to come.
4. Johnathan Scott, OT OR Max Jean-Gilles, OG
While I am hesitant to take anyone from Texas much less a lineman this kid hasnt missed a game in 3 seasons at 6'6 322 he is a monster at OT. And could start in a season or two.
Jean-Gilles
This kid was a mauler, I dont pretend to know why he slipped but I could see him coming in for Vilarrial next year. At the senior bowl he handled everyone, id love to see him here.
5. Elvis Dumervil, DE
Great edge rusher, could become a solid situational pass rusher in a DE rotation for us.
In my mind if we got either of those guys in the 4th and grabbed another solid DT/DE in the 5th this draft has been what I had hoped it would be.
