10. UCLA LB, Erick Kendricks

Kendricks is a guy you could ask just about anything from and expect it to be done the right way. He can cover, rush the passer, and tackle with the best of them. He brings a very cerebral aspect that I think could fit the Giants vision going forward.

Both Spencer Paysinger and Jacquian Williams are gone and Kendricks kind of reminds me of what Kawika Mitchell was in Steve Spagnuolo’s defense back in the good ole days.

With Jon Beason‘s future up in the air, Kendricks could be the next leader and signal caller for Big Blue for years to come. This could be a very smart pick by New York in the 2nd round and ultimately a steal considering many think of him as the best Inside linebacker in this class.
