Pick's a Giant mystery

Last year, the Giants went into the draft needing a receiver, a linebacker, a running back and a defensive tackle. In fact, they could've used almost anything other than a defensive end. So of course, after trading down to the last pick of the first round, they took defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka. "In the room at the time I said, 'Does anybody in this room think Mathias Kiwanuka is not going to be a Pro Bowl defensive end?'" recalled Giants GM Jerry Reese. "No hands went up. I said, 'We are going to pick this guy. I know we don't need him at this point, but at some point he is going to be a good player for us.'"

That was Reese's way of saying just about anything could happen for the Giants today when they make the 20th pick in the NFL draft. If the first 19 picks go as expected, the Giants are leaning toward picking either a linebacker or cornerback, with their top choices being Texas cornerback Aaron Ross or Miami linebacker Jon Beason.
