Is McClain the pick?
Here's the story I wrote about Rolando McClain for Sunday's paper. I went back and spoke with his high school coach, who talked about McClain being something of a football savant along with his abilities and potential disabilities (i.e. Crohn's disease or whatever problem McClain has been battling for several years now).
I had teased it with some information that didn't make it into the story here and here earlier in the week.
Will the Giants pick McClain on Thursday night? There's no guarantee. But it does seem to make the most sense.
