Todd McShay Mock Draft: Jets, Giants choices

The 2012 NFL season isn't even over, but it appears that Mock Draft season has already descended upon us. ESPN's Todd McShay has released his first mock draft. Jere are his choices for the New York Giants and New York Jets.

Jets (No. 15)

Jake Matthews*, OT, Texas A&M

Yes, the Jets have a quarterback need, but replacing Mark Sanchez with Barkley would be like trying to kick a Diet Coke habit by substituting Diet Pepsi. New York will almost certainly look to bring in a veteran if it chooses to upgrade at quarterback. The Jets' pass defense is surprisingly good despite the team having only 22 total sacks, but they still need a legitimate edge rusher. However, they're on the wrong end of a run on ends in this scenario. They could reach for a player such as Auburn's Corey Lemonier, but they also need a right tackle and Matthews is on the rise with his toughness in the run game and good hands in pass protection.

Giants (No.25)

Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State

The Giants have been successful under general manager Jerry Reese going with the best available athlete on the board, but in this case they find one of the top players available at a priority need area. Banks is not elite in man-to-man coverage, but he has good length and is solid in press coverage, shows instincts in zone, supports the run and is a ball hawk with 16 career interceptions.
