STOCK ARROW POINTING UP
1. CB Justin Gilbert, Oklahoma State: When the morning started Gilbert was battling Darqueze Dennard for the top spot at the cornerback position. At the conclusion of the day Gilbert, holds a firm grasp of the top spot. In a nutshell, his workout was awesome from start to finish. Gilbert was the fastest defensive back of the day, timing below 4.35 seconds in the 40-yard dash. He was exceptional in position drills displaying a quick backpedal, the ability to flip his hips then easily transition to every angle of the field. Gilbert practiced with speed, balance and showed great athleticism. He could move into the draft’s initial 12 selections.
2. CB Phillip Gaines, Rice: Expectation is a word that’s been mentioned often in analyzing performances at the Combine and Gaines exceeded them Tuesday. Stamped as a slow bump-and-run cover corner, he blazed to a 4.37 in the 40-yard dash then displayed terrific skill in position drills. Gaines was smooth transitioning from his backpedal and showed an explosive burst moving in every direction. At the end of the day, Gaines improved his draft stock and made a lot of money for himself.
3. CB Kyle Fuller, Virginia Tech: Fuller’s name is rarely mentioned in the conversation for the top cornerbacks available in the draft, yet all he does is impress scouts. He continued that trend Tuesday with a terrific athletic performance (4.43 in the 40-yard dash, 38.5-inch vertical jump and 10-foot-8 broad jump) then a great position workout. Fuller looked so natural and smooth on the field it almost seemed effortless. His ball skills, athleticism and eye for the ball make him a potential No. 1 cornerback at the next level.
4. CB Jason Verrett, TCU: In the game of inches Verrett, comes up a bit short (slightly under 5-foot-9) but offers big league skill. The argument could be made Verrett was the most complete defensive back on the field Tuesday. His testing numbers were terrific (4.39 40-yard dash, 39-inch vertical jump) as were his position drills. Verrett was quick and smooth moving in every direction, both forwards as well as backwards. He has first-round skill but a third-round frame.

I’m told Texas A&M receiver Mike Evans is a real possibility for the New York Giants with the draft’s 12th selection if available. The team is expected to lose veteran wide out Hakeen Nicks to free agency and there’s not much production on the depth chart after Victor Cruz and Rueben Randle. I’m also told if one of the top offensive tackles (Greg Robinson or Taylor Lewan) happen to slip to the 12th pick the Giants would look in that direction. Otherwise expect the team to initially look for guards in free agency.
