The Giants could go multiple routes with their last pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. New York may look to find an upgrade at kicker or add another interior defensive lineman, but adding another pass rusher sounds feasible given Gettleman’s team philosophy.

"“You got to run the ball. You got to stop the run. You got to pressure the passer. Everywhere I’ve been and with the great teams that I’ve been associated with – those were three very big staples.”"

Through three seasons in the AAC, Love recorded 64 tackles, 18.5 tackles for a loss, 8.5 sacks,  six passes defended, and one forced fumble. The 6-foot-4, 266-pound defensive end started 11 games in his senior year.

Campbell reports the Bulls defensive end “is going to ignite some third-day interest” due to his size and motor. Love clearly has upside potential and could greatly benefit from learning behind former South Florida star JPP.
