Which players should NY Giants have their eyes on in CFP National championship Game?

Ohio State standouts

Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State: The Giants obviously watched their fair share of Ohio State football last season, as they signed both Binjimen Victor and Austin Mack to their practice squad this season – the latter even being a member of the active roster. While Victor and Mack are fine players, Chris Olave was and is the play-maker at Ohio State. He has the size, route running and ability to step in and make an instant impact at the next level. Olave arguably leads the second tier of receivers, following Waddle, Smith and LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase. He may not be there in round two, but it’d be tough to pass on him if he is.

Shaun Wade, CB, Ohio State: Has Ohio State become DBU? With six buckeye defensive backs drafted in the first round over the last five years, Shaun Wade has a chance to become the next. Wade has proven to be versatile, as Ohio State used him all over the field – covering wide receivers, tight ends and running backs. Wade has struggled a bit while playing the outside, and he may get exposed a bit against the Crimson Tide. If he can help shut down Alabama’s offense, it’ll do wonders for his draft stock. Wade may not fit where the Giants are selecting, but if he falls a bit or the Giants trade back, he could be in the conversation.

Wyatt Davis, G, Ohio State: Wyatt Davis originally opted out of the 2020 season, but after returning to Ohio State when the Big 10 decided to play their season, Davis has been a revelation. He became the 33rd player in Ohio State’s history to be an All-American, adding to the impressive resume he now boasts. Davis may be exactly what the Giants are looking for at guard – a smart, athletic player who can do it all. If they’re looking for a replacement for veteran Kevin Zeitler or a young guard to pair with Shane Lemieux, Davis is more than capable.

Trey Sermon, RB, Ohio State: If we learned one thing this year, it’s that the Giants need depth behind their superstar running back, Saquon Barkley. Trey Sermon has risen up draft boards after his blistering performances in the Big 10 Championship and College Football Playoff Semi-Finals against Clemson, running wild for 331 yards and 193 yards in each respective game. If the Giants decide to let Wayne Gallman test free agency, they’ll have to be in the market for a running back – Sermon could fill that hole. He’s most likely a day three pick this April, which is most likely the area where the Giants would fill that need.
