Grades For the First Round of the 2014 NFL Draft

A+. <p>Odell Beckham Jr. was selected No. 12 overall by the New York Giants and killed it right away. With Victor Cruz going down in 2014, he became the favorite target of quarterback Eli Manning. And his production was highlighted by the catch of the century against the Dallas Cowboys.</p> <p>Anyone that tells you that wasn’t the best catch they’ve ever seen is either lying to you or didn’t see it. But as great as that catch was, that wasn’t all Beckham Jr. did in his magical rookie season. He had 91 catches for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns while averaging 14.3 yards per catch.</p> <p>And for all that production, Beckham Jr. took AP 2014 NFL Rookie of the Year honors. The Giants now have their man for years to come to be paired with Cruz while Manning throws to both of them. The Giants deserve the highest of marks for making this pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.</p>. WR. New York Giants. ODELL BECKHAM JR.
