With the 63rd pick in the SB Nation NFL writer's mock draft, the New York Giants select Washington running back Chris Polk.
Big Blue View Editor-in-Chief Ed Valentine quickly checks in with an explanation for the pick and I respond after the jump. For more on the Giants, check out BigBlueView.com and get more from Ed at SB Nation New York.
Ed Valentine explains: There are questions about Polk, but this is a need pick. The Giants simply have to try and protect themselves with Ahmad Bradshaw’s feet and ankles being such a huge question.
Dan Kadar responds: My mantra since taking over this site is that surefire playoff teams can afford to draft in a need-based fashion. Although the Giants often go BPA, addressing a need can never be frowned upon.
