23. New York Giants
23. player. 31. One thing that has become apparent about the New York Giants offense? They are going to throw the football. Maybe the lack of a running game has contributed to that but it’s also not like they’ve given it a concerted effort. Ben McAdoo has a Pro Bowl quarterback and a trio of fast, athletic receivers. He wants to use them. Nothing wrong with that but it’s also not working exactly as planned. This team struggles to put up points, and that could end up costing them. <p>If that’s the case and they want to still keep throwing, then the best thing for them to do is finding targets who can impact in the red zone. Often tight ends are great solutions in such cases. O.J. Howard is the best in this class for many reasons. He’s tall, athletic, fast for his size, can jump and has strong hands to make difficult catches. With Odell Beckham outside and Sterling Shepard in the slot, defenses will have nobody left to cover him. That will be a problem.</p>. TE. Alabama. O.J. Howard
