McShay admits he's not sold on the choice himself. He points to defensive options like Ohio State linebacker, sunny styles, or safety Caleb Downs as stronger fits. Still, he notes league sources see the Giants grabbing love somewhere in the top 10 picks. The Giants face bigger holes on defense after partial rebuild. They sign linebacker Tremaine Edmonds and Cornerback Greg Newsom II, but spot at corner and linebacker remains shaky under new coordinator. Dinnered Wilson Love could boost a run heavy offense paired with backs like Cam Scottibo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. That setup might play to quarterback Jackson Dard's strengths through rushing and play action passes. The Bay will continue as team Shuffle Intel ahead of the draft, weighing immediate needs against long-term backfield depth. You've been listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage.
