The New York Giants (0-2) will go to the Cleveland Browns (1-1) at Huntington Financial institution Area in Cleveland, Ohio this Sunday.
That, in fact, offers these of us right here at Giants Wire the chance to hypothetically steal from the Browns’ roster in the hunt for depth and/or expertise upgrades for Massive Blue.
Instantly, our eyes are drawn to defensive finish Myles Garrett and the way might they not be? Garrett is a game-changing edge rusher who offers a constant weekly presence, which is one thing the Giants should not have with Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns. Nonetheless, given the numbers on the place and monetary allocation, Garrett is de facto extra of a need than a necessity.
Tight finish David Njoku is one other extraordinarily tempting possibility and sure would have been our alternative if the Giants didn’t have far more urgent wants on the defensive aspect of the ball.
In the end, we settled on cornerback Denzel Ward as our theft of alternative.
A former first-round draft decide (No. 4 general), Ward has carved out a pleasant profession for himself since 2018. He was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Group that yr and has been named to a few Professional Bowls, together with final season when he allowed a reception share of simply 51.5%.
In 81 profession video games (78 begins), Ward has recorded 274 tackles (10 for a loss), 5 QB hits, 0.5 sacks, three compelled fumbles, 5 fumble recoveries, 80 passes defensed, 15 interceptions, and two defensive touchdowns.
Though Ward is a bit of weak in opposition to the run, he’s stout in protection and can be a direct improve over Cor’Dale Flott and Nick McCloud on the skin.
What are your ideas, Giants followers? Would you decide Denzel Ward or would you steal a completely totally different participant from the Cleveland Browns?
