An under-rated WR prospect (so far), a future star

With the departure of Cruz and the potential cap-busting demands to resign OBJ, acquiring a top-notch Receiver is now a clear need for the Giants.
As I've been watching tape, one player clearly stands out with the movement skills, hand-eye coordination, hands and catching radius:
East Carolina's Zay Jones steadily improved throughout his career and last year he was able to catch 158 passes for 1746 yards and over 145 ypg!
In my eyes, more importantly his abilities projects very well to the next level.
Here is a highlight clip on this play-maker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qwU24kNKQ8

If we are able to address OT in FA and keep our Dline in tact, we might afford to spend our 2nd on this prolific but under-rated prospect.

I'd sooner have Penn State WR Chris Godwin. But he'll go at least two rounds higher than I'd ideally want to draft a WR this year

I would not be too surprised to see the Giants be more aggressive than people expect in getting a 3rd recieving threat.  If that is in the draft or FA, I dont know.

x & UK, good gets guys.
I suspect they'll be some kind of move for a 3rd WR.

I thought we needed a 6"3" or 6.'4" WR, not another one who may be 6'0" or 6'!".

Good find! Great catching radius and gets the yards after catch. Loved the play where he drove through several defenders for extra yards.

Seemed to have good hands, but there were a lot of busted coverages in that hi-lite clip. Didn't have top end speed.

      As much as my opinion  is worth to JR, I would demand a LT first  if available. If not a top TE next and finally a monster guard.  Please no Adrian Peterson! As for JPP let him walk. Just ask what would Belicheck
do.

That is very true. With all due respect to this thread and XLA, the Giants already have two smallish Xs on this roster in Lewis and King.  What they don't have and need is a big WR in the 6-3+ range.

Highlight videos don't offer much in terms of judging a prospect.

I suggest using draft breakdown which provides cutups of all of a player's downs in a game

Watched him in the Senior Bowl and this kid's catch radius is crazy.  Plays a lot taller than he is because of it. I think he would be a great fit.

Reminds me of OBJ with the catching radius.

How many tall receivers do the Super Bowl champs have?
