10. New York Giants

WR. TCU. Josh Doctson . 10. player. 31. The maneuvering in free agency has afforded the New York Giants an opportunity to fill one of their bigger remaining needs in the draft.  Outside of Odell Beckham Jr., they have almost nothing but question marks at wide receiver.  Victor Cruz can’t stay healthy and Rueben Randle is gone.  Eli Manning needs another target he can lean on for big catches, thus easing the pressure on Beckham. <p> </p> <p>It may surprise some that Josh Doctson is the first receiver off the board here considering he didn’t finish 2015 due to an injury.  However, in terms of size, speed, athleticism, hands and production he makes the strongest case for being that guy.  The kid is a natural playmaker.  He can go up and get the football and has such good body control he makes highlight catches look effortless at times.  His size matches with Beckham’s speed is exactly what the Giants could hope for.</p>
