2018 NFL Draft prospect profile: Da’Ron Payne (DT, Alabama)

The New York Giants have an under-the-radar need on the inside of their defensive line. With 2018’s free agency period approaching, they will have just Damon Harrison and Dalvin Tomlinson under contract, while Jay Bromley, Robert Thomas, and Kerry Wynn are all impending free agents.

They have an excellent foundation, but even though they are (probably) switching to more of a 3-4 base to their defense under James Bettcher, a team needs more than two defensive tackles.

The Alabama defense has been kind to the Giants over the last few years.
