7. (224) Michael Johnson, S
Imagine the Giants surprise to see Michael Johnson available in the 7th round as many had him projected to go in the 2nd or 3rd round. Johnson is a great pass defender as he’s really hard to throw over as he’s 6’2″, 211 pounds and he’s fast enough (4.5 40) to run down the field with WRs and TEs. But, he’s softer than a role of Charmin against the run and that will need to improve if he’s going to get on the field. Look for the Giants coaches to work on Johnson’s weakness in his rookie season. Johnson played in 21 games (14 starts) at Arizona and he made 107 tackles, broke up 8 passes, had 5 interceptions (45 return yards) and he recovered 2 fumbles. Look for Johnson to help the Giants on passing downs and on special teams as a rookie. If the coaches can toughen him up against the run, Johnson could be a starter in the future.
