23. New York Giants

Miami Fl.. David Njoku . 23. player. 31. The New York Giants learned in the playoffs that they can’t be a two-man offense if they want to win. Green Bay controlled Odell Beckham Jr. and predictably Eli Manning wasn’t able to lean on anybody else to make a play. In order to become a legitimate playoff contender, New York has to find another weapon on offense that defenses won’t be able to ignore. Given how much Manning loves to use tight ends, that position makes the most sense. <p>David Njoku isn’t hiding from teams any longer. The Miami product was one of the more unique tight end prospects in that he brought an element to the passing game tight ends don’t usually have. He can run after the catch. He creates the same mismatches in coverage against safeties and linebackers, but once the ball is in his hands he becomes a running back who shows he can break tackles. That is the kind of productivity the Giants are missing.</p>. TE
