Why did the New York Giants draft Darius Alexander?
New York Giants GM Joe Schoen knew entering the offseason that he had to rebuild the depth of the team’s defensive front seven, particularly the interior defensive line.
Schoen drafted Abdul Carter No. 3 overall to add a dynamic pass rusher on the edge. In free agency, he added players liks Chauncey Golston, Roy Robertson-Harris and Jeremiah Ledbetter.
The coup de grace to the interior defensive line rebuild came Friday night when the Giants added defensive tackle Darius Alexander with the first pick of Round 3, No. 65 overall.
