Giants linebackers looking to lead defense.

Another interesting factoid on this. Between the years 2010 - 2017, the giants did not draft a LB in the 3rd round or higher....in 8 fucking drafts, lol. They are the ONLY franchise in the NFL which did not draft an LB during that 8 year span in round 3 or higher.

Even in 2018, the sole LB draft pick round 3 or higher was Lorenzo Carter in the 3rd round, a guy who's marginal and on the verge of busting out.

So in the last 10 years of drafts, we've drafted one LB...Lorenzo Carter.

I really had high hopes for Lorenzo. Dude has all the tools. But I think it just chance. I think players were taken right before the Giants could draft them. I don't know. I doubt the Giants are purposely not drafting players because of their position.

I haven't given up on Lorenzo Carter yet, he had an unfortunate and untimely end to his 2020 season.

He tore his Achilles.

We better replace him at this point, had better not go into next season expecting him to be a starter.

You’re never the same after that kind of injury.
