New York Giants

Perfect draft pair: Miami TE David Njoku (Round 1, pick 23); Troy OT Antonio Garcia (Round 2, pick 55)

Brooks on Njoku: He would give the Giants something they haven't had since Jeremy Shockey -- a big-play tight end in the middle of the field. He has Pro Bowl potential. He's a long, athletic, versatile tight end who can play outside or inside. In this offense, where you're surrounded by talent on the outside (at receiver), he can be a difference-maker and a game-changer between the hashes.

Jeremiah on Garcia: If they don't address the offensive line at No. 23, this is an option for them. He plays with a little nastiness, a little edge, he finishes plays. There are snaps on tape where he latches on and takes his man off the screen.

On the Move the Sticks podcast, former NFL scouts Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks break down the latest news and action around the league from a scout's perspective, alongside NFL player personnel executives.
