3. WR Jordan Addison

If Jordan Addison is the Giants first-round pick in April’s draft, Big Blue fans will be very happy. Addison had the best college career of all draft eligible receivers, and put up some outrageous numbers in the process.

Addison had 666 yards and four touchdowns during his freshman season at Pittsburgh, and then hauled in 100 balls for 1,593 and 17 touchdowns in 2021. The wideout transferred to USC for the 2022 season, catching 59 passes for 875 yards and eight touchdowns.

Addison knows what it is like to play with NFL quarterbacks, having hauled in passes from Kenny Pickett while at Pittsburgh, and then from Caleb Williams, the likely No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft, while at USC. Addison ran a 4.49 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine, which is slower than many expected. That could be a good thing for the Giants, as it could push Addison down the board right into their laps.

Addison is known for his ability to create separtion and prowess for catching the deep ball, two things the Giants offense desperately needs. Jones to Addison has a nice ring to it and it’s something plenty of people in East Rutherford would love to see.
