Big shocker for Giants at No. 5? Peter Schrager predicted a surprise for the Giants in next week’s draft. The “Good Morning Football” host released his second mock draft of the year on Tuesday, and picked Mississippi State offensive tackle Charles Cross and Cincinnati cornerback Sauce Gardner for the Giants at Nos. 5 and 7, respectively. “Your first big shocker of the draft: The Giants take Cross over Evan Neal and Sauce Gardner,” Schrager wrote. “I've heard the Giants love the Mississippi State product, who's not only rising up their board, but several other teams', as well.” On Gardner, Schrager wrote, “New defensive coordinator Wink Martindale will be the happiest man on the planet if Sauce falls to No. 7. The former Bearcat is one of the few DBs in recent college football history who could be left on an island and come out on top. Considering Wink's blitz-everyone-and-their-brother-and-mother approach, Gardner would be a perfect fit in the Giants' defensive backfield.” His entire mock draft 2.0 can be found HERE.Schoen & Daboll speak today New York Giants football is back.
