The New York Giants (0-2) will go to the Cleveland Browns (1-1) at Huntington Financial institution Discipline in Cleveland, Ohio this Sunday.
That, after all, gives these of us right here at Giants Wire the chance to hypothetically steal from the Browns’ roster searching for depth and/or expertise upgrades for Large 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 gives a constant weekly presence, which is one thing the Giants do not need with Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns. Nonetheless, given the numbers on the place and monetary allocation, Garrett is admittedly extra of a need than a necessity.
Tight finish David Njoku is one other extraordinarily tempting choice and certain would have been our selection 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 selection.
A former first-round draft decide (No. 4 total), 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 3 Professional Bowls, together with final season when he allowed a reception proportion 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 pressured fumbles, 5 fumble recoveries, 80 passes defensed, 15 interceptions, and two defensive touchdowns.
Though Ward is somewhat 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 surface.
What are your ideas, Giants followers? Would you decide Denzel Ward or would you steal a completely totally different participant from the Cleveland Browns?
