Second Round – Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan

Justin Pierre-Paul signed just a one year contract after his unfortunate fireworks accident. It is unknown if the Giants will go after JPP again once his contract is up. If they don’t, they will need to get a defensive end. Taco Charlton would be a perfect fit for the Giants.

He has a huge wingspan and is quick off the edge. This season he has 4.5 sacks. Charlton would be the perfect complement to the quarterback-hungry Giants defense. Charlton hurt his ankle in the season opener and didn’t return until the Penn State game.

He made an immediate impact in his return after missing two games. Since returning, O-lines have had trouble containing Charlton. If the Giants do resign JPP, they should still pick up Charlton in the second round. The Giants had success using multiple defensive ends in the past.

The Giants struggled early in the season with their defense, but in the past few weeks, that has changed. They could use additional players to rush quarterbacks. This is how they have won their recent games. Charlton is difficult to block and will wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks.
