10. New York Giants: Leonard Floyd, DE, Georgia

Jason Pierre-Paul could very well be on his way out of New York. The 27-year-old looked awful after his fireworks incident last summer and the Giants could be ready to move on from him. If they are, Leonard Floyd could be a good replacement.

Floyd is light and lanky. Very lanky. But he has terrific speed (he ran a 4.60 40-yard dash) and is effective on the edge. He may not be a huge threat defending the run, but he is a natural pass rusher who can get to the quarterback.

The Giants have a ton of problems defensively, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to draft a quick edge rusher to try and minimize the amount of time their corners spend in coverage.
