12. New York Giants
Justin Gilbert
CB, Oklahoma State

Adam’s Take:  While the Giants need offensive line help desperately, the most impactful prospect at #12 is Gilbert. As mentioned in my scouting the draft piece, Gilbert’s skill set can be optimally utilized opposite a physical corner like Amukamara. He’s a ballhawk extraordinaire (33 1/8 arm length) with Patrick Peterson-like game wrecking ability – both on defense and special teams. He ran a “disappointing” 4.37 40-yard dash on Tuesday. This Poke is easily one of the most imposing athletes in the class.
