A team long built on the strength of its defense, the New York Giants weren't going to pass on the opportunity to add to their pass rush.
The Giants selected Penn State star Abdul Carter with the third overall pick in the NFL draft Thursday night.
Carter joins a defensive front that includes Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Bobby Okereke. He was the Giants' choice after quarterback Cam Ward went No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans and the Cleveland Browns selected two-way star Travis Hunter with the second pick.
