3. Eli Harold, DE (Virginia)

For the Giants’ purposes Harold would be a defensive end, though he is a prototypical outside linebacker in the 3-4 defense. Harold is a long and strong athlete with a high motor.

At Virginia Harold was as productive as they come. In three seasons he had 36.5 tackles for a loss and 17.5 sacks. This big and explosive 6-4 player should have been taken in the first round.

Harold is a good pass rusher but he is a complete package player. He will set the edge for your defense in run defense. This is a player that should be drafted highly in the second round because he should have been selected in the first.
