New York Giants

Scouts Inc. on 2016 class

1 (10) Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State | Highlights

What he brings: Apple's 4.40 40-yard dash is the fourth-fastest by a defensive back 6-foot1 or taller at the NFL scouting combine since 2006. He's not only an athlete, though. He does an above-average job of reading routes in man coverage and reading quarterbacks' eyes in zone coverage on tape. He has to get stronger and improve his ability to match up with bigger receivers, but he has the frame to bulk up and develop into an excellent press corner.

How he fits: The Giants didn't have a pressing need at corner considering they signed Janoris Jenkins in free agency and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie went to the Pro Bowl last year. Apple is a reach this early, but he has the frame, top-end speed and instincts to develop into an effective starter in defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's scheme and he should provide quality depth early on. -- Steve Muench
