Taking a wide receiver in the first round of the NFL draft creates headlines and buzz — Look at all those highlight-reel catches! Selecting a cornerback — valued for the ability to limit the exploits of others — is more subdued. Both are considered premium draft equity and it just so happens the Giants could use upgrades at both wide receiver and defensive back. For this Giants Mock Draft 2.0 edition, we used the Pro Football Focus simulator and came away with immediate help for a position at which the Giants might be most lacking, adding a big-play cornerback to provide more options for defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.
