3 positions where the Giants could double dip in the NFL Draft

2. Edge-rusher

The Giants have always been about stud pass-rushers, so to see them struggling there isn't something we're used to. Having great defensive ends on the team like Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck, just to name a few, are the standard of pass-rushers people are used to. The Giants have something potentially great brewing with the young talented pass-rush duo of Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns, but everyone knows the old saying, you can never have enough pass-rushers.

The Giants currently have six edge defenders on the team, which may seem like a good number. The problem is, most of the guys on the outside were completely ineffective and could NOT win battles against opposing linemen. Besides Thibodeaux and Burns, the Giants have Boogie Basham Jr., Benton Whitley, Azeez Ojulari, and Tomon Fox. Fans are holding out hope for Ojulari to reach his potential, but he just can't seem to stay healthy.

Basham was brought in via a trade with the Buffalo Bills, but he was completely ineffective this past season, while Whitley and Fox barely saw the field. The Giants may not even need to trade back in the draft later this month, but could still come away with multiple upgrades if they decide to double dip in the position. Adding a mid-round player like Jonah Elliss out of Utah, or even Mo Kamara or Jalyx Hunt later on could go a long way towards revitalizing the pass-rush group. More help is still needed after landing Burns.
