New York Giants headlines for Friday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
“They went to Cam Ward’s pro day, came back from that and signed Russell Wilson,” one exec observed. “To me, that says that the owner said, ‘You cannot trade up for a quarterback. If one falls to you, great, draft him, but you are not trading up for one.'”

Derrick Harmon, No. 27, Oregon, 6-5, 310 pounds. Harmon tallied 27 solo tackles, five sacks and two forced fumbles for the Ducks last season. He’s a creative player who can win in multiple ways, according to Brugler, who also called Harmon one of the nation’s most disruptive interior defensive linemen last season. That’s exactly the kind of player the Giants need to add to their defensive line.
