Making the Case for Leonard Floyd as New York Giants' 1st-Round Pick

If there was ever a statement that rang true as far as the New York Giants are concerned, it’s that a team can never have too many pass-rushers.

The Giants found that out the hard way last year when, other than Robert Ayers Jr. (now with Tampa Bay), the pass rush produced by the quartet of Jason Pierre-Paul, Damontre Moore, Owa Odighizuwa and outside linebacker Devon Kennard combined for 4.0 sacks.

To be fair, there were circumstances behind the rather pathetic numbers. Odighizuwa missed most of his rookie season with various injuries.

Moore, the team’s third-round pick in 2013, was cut during the season after what Peter Botte and Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reported was a fight with then teammate Cullen Jenkins over a set of Beats by Dre headphones.
