Case Cookus- QB, Northern Arizona

Key Measurables: 6-4, 205 pounds

PFF ranking: Unranked

What does he have going for him? He was a very productive player in the Big Sky Conference. Cookus threw for over 4000 yards and 31 touchdowns in 2019. He is considered a very accurate passer.

What could hold him back? He does not possess elite NFL arm talent. He would have to perform extremely well during the preseason to jump ahead of Colt Mccoy and Alex Tanney on the depth chart.

Christian Angulo- CB, Hampton,

Key Measurables: 6-2, 190 pounds. 4.67 40-yard dash

PFF ranking: Unranked

What does he have going for him? He is tall for a corner and is best suited to playing on the outside, unlike the two cornerbacks Gettleman drafted in 2020. He uses his size well to make plays on the ball. He had 14 pass breakups in 2019, including this one versus the taller Antonio Gandy-Golden.

What could hold him back? He does not possess ideal speed for an NFL boundary corner. The competition will be fierce among defensive backs for the G-Men with so many recent draft picks at the position.

Tyler Haycraft- OT, Louisville

Key Measurables: 6’3” 293 pounds

PFF ranking: Unranked

What does he have going for him? Haycraft was overlooked playing right tackle on the opposite side of Mekhi Becton, but he played well for the Cardinals in 2019. He is known to be a hard worker and has been proving people wrong his entire football career. Haycraft made the team at Louisville as a walk-on and his offensive line coach thinks he has the athleticism to transition to center in the NFL.

What could hold him back? Haycraft is undersized and needs to add more weight to his frame. The competition at tackle will be tough, so his best way to stick would be making the difficult transition to center.

Dana Levine- Edge, Temple

Key Measurables: 6’4″ 235 pounds. 4.72 40-yard dash

PFF ranking: Unranked

What does he have going for him? Levine is an athletic edge prospect with a good motor. After mostly avoiding edge rushers in the draft, Dave Gettleman found an outside linebacker with upside. He had 5.5 sacks in 2019 and did sack the current Giants QB in 2018.

What could hold him back? Levine was more of a situational pass rusher for Temple. He isn’t as versatile as the linebackers the G-Men selected at the end of the draft.

Malcolm Elmore- CB, Central Methodist 

Key Measurables: 5-11, 185 pounds. 4.43 40-yard dash

PFF ranking: Unranked

What does he have going for him? The feisty defensive back was a playmaker for Central Methodist at the NAIA level. He recorded eight interceptions in his career and four of those came in 2019.

What could hold him back? He is undersized for a cornerback in the NFL. He will have to impress often at training camp to overcome his competition.
