2%. Mock drafts have coalesced around four potential choices for New York. Styles, safety Caleb Downs (11 times, 16.
9%), running back Jeremiyah Love (eight times, 12. 3%), and wide receiver Carnell Tate (seven times, 10. 8%) In giving Styles to the Giants in his mock draft, Luke Easterling of Athlon Sports wrote : Listen, it’s just too hard to find dynamic linebackers with a true three-down skill set who can defend the run, make plays in coverage, and get after the quarterback as a blitzer.
Throw in Styles’ rare combination of size and athleticism, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for the league’s next superstar at the position.
