The 12th overall pick is indebted to the 115th ranked best NY Giants defensive lineman of all-time, William Joseph (just underneath Leger Douzable who is #114th)
Willie Joe was one of the worst first round pick's ever for Big Blue and his presence in this selection is solely meant to create a reverse jinx into this selection:
The New York Giants select:
Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh
One or three looks at the tape and you see an incredible burst once the QB snaps the ball. He may be diminutive in stature, yet he might be the next Barry Sanders of interior D-linemen. Since losing Linval Joseph to free agency, this may be an upgrade - as weird as that sounds. The Giants stick to their spine and continue to load up on the D-line on Day 1/Day 2 of the draft.
