"Make the Case" has once again returned on Giants.com.
In this series, we look at projections provided by analysts and then ask you, the fans, to weigh in on what the Giants should do in the draft.
First up is a debate between the selections from one of ESPN's top draft analysts Mel Kiper Jr. and Pro Football Focus' lead draft analyst Michael Renner.
Pick: Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 208
2022 stats: 14 games, 60 receptions for 1,069 yards and six touchdowns
Accolades: 2x First-Team All-Big 12 (2021, 2022)
"Johnston is the big, fast and physical receiver they need. At 6-foot-4, he is tremendous after the catch, breaking tackles and running for long touchdowns. He understands how to use his frame to high-point the ball in the air."
Pick: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 196
2021 stats: 13 games, 95 receptions for 1,606 yards and nine touchdowns (Smith-Njigba was limited to three games in 2022)
Accolades: Third-Team All-American (2021), Third-Team All-Big Ten (2021), Rose Bowl Offensive MVP (2022)
"Head coach Brian Daboll has been a master at scheming to talent, and in the right role, there may be no better receiver in this class to scheme to than Smith-Njigba. He is nearly unguardable on option routes over the middle of the field and can easily take on a Cooper Kupp– or Amon-Ra St. Brown-esque slot role."
