Report: Giants leaning towards taking edge rusher with 11th overall pick

We found out a lot about the New York Giants and the players that they covet in this year’s NFL Draft.

We know that Big Blue like Patrick Surtain II, Kwity Paye, Azeez Ojulari, Devonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle and Jayson Oweh.

Ralph Vacchiano of SNY is reporting that the Giants are leaning toward selecting an edge rusher with the 11th overall pick instead of taking a wide receiver like Waddle or Smith if they fall to them.

There’s a good chance that when the Giants make their first pick April 29 in the 2021 NFL Draft that one of Alabama’s two explosive receivers — DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle — will still be on the board.
