The New York Giants have plenty of needs to address heading into the 2015 NFL Draft, but veteran New York Post columnist Steve Serby has one intriguing option lined up for the team's #9 pick of the first round - Washington Huskies defensive tackle Danny Shelton:
Jay Bromley, the third-round pick in 2014, barely saw the field, so there is an opening for a 343-pound space eater alongside Johnathan Hankins. And Cullen Jenkins is 34. The big fella can shield MLB Jon Beason, if not the sun. A critical question coach Tom Coughlin and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo will need to answer: If Pete Carroll saw this guy on the Giants’ goal-line defense, would he let Russell Wilson throw from the 1-yard line to win an NFC Championship game? An offensive lineman always is in play, of course.
Shelton had 92 total tackles (54 solo) for UW in 2014, along with also using his massive 6-2, 339-pound frame to slice and dice opposing offensive lines for nine sacks.
