2. Oklahoma WR, Dorial Green-Beckham

By far my favorite player in the draft, Dorial Green-Beckham may be the one that got away for New York. When they wound up trading up for Landon Collins, their 2nd-round pick to Tennessee at the 40th overall spot turned into Green-Beckham. Could this pick haunt them?

Green-Beckham brings freakish size, athleticism, and the ability to high-point a football better than anyone in this draft. He brings a lot of baggage to Tennessee, but I think it could’ve surely been straightened out by coach Coughlin and the Giant organization.

The dream combination of Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz and Green-Beckham was exactly that. A dream. It surely would’ve been special to have three athletes like such to be stretching the field for Manning. This could be one of their biggest draft regrets in a couple of years when this class begins to play out. Of course taking a player who got kicked out of the Missouri Football program and who sat out a year after transferring to Oklahoma, has its risks.
