Jags taking Bortles 3rd rather than trading down was bizarre. Teams not trading up for Manziel when he hit 15 or so was odd. Everyone thought Dallas would jump on Manziel; that they were hoping he'd fall to them.

Ja'Wuan James in 1st

was a reach.

My take: I don't like it, honestly. And this is nothing against the player, who's superfast and might well turn out to be a star. This isn't about predicting how these guys will play, because we can't. It's about assessing what kind of job the team did in maximizing the value of its pick. And in a draft like this, with so much talent at wide receiver, I don't see why a wide receiver under 6 feet tall is worth the No. 12 overall pick. I think the Giants could have addressed offensive line here with Zack Martin and figured out wide receiver later on. And as you know, I think improving the overall talent level on the offensive line should have been priority No. 1.
