The New York Giants used their First Round Pick in 1980 (8^thOverall) on Mark Haynes, a star Cornerback from Colorado.  While Haynes never achieved the fame of some of the Defensive Ends and Linebackers who played ahead of him, he was a bona fide top player in his own right.

One of the most fun teams to watch in college football was the Miami Hurricanes of the 90s and early 00s.  One of the great players of their 2001 BCS Championship Team was Tight End, Jeremy Shockey, who was an All-American that championship year.

Splitting his college career between Northwestern and Michigan State, Ray Wietecha’s NFL career was not divided among teams in the plural as he wore the Giants blue for all of his ten seasons.

There were pro teams that were afraid that Justin Tuck's knee injury would make the Notre Dame player a risky draft pick.  As such, he fell to the Third Round, where the New York Giants were more than happy to take him.
