And with the 63rd and final pick in the 2008 Arrowhead Pride Community Mock Draft, the New York Giants select:
Eastern Michigan DE Jason Jones
Chris with the pick:
At the end of the second round, the Giants are in the unenviable position of having their remaining top needs - offensive tackle, corner back and wide receiver - pretty much depleted of upper tier talent. Then again, they did win the Super Bowl so I'm sure that will help ease the anxiety.
With those team needs, the Giants are looking at reaching for a pick and they'll do so but at the defensive end position with Jason Jones. Michael Strahan is bound to actually retire one of these seasons in the near future, perhaps this season.
He's a bit of a reach but so are most of the other prospects at positions of need for the Giants.
