The New York Giants have been linked to a lot of the top quarterbacks in this year's draft. The Giants insist they're committed to Eli Manning, but nobody seems to really believe them.
New York owns the sixth and 17th overall picks, and they've been heavily tied to either Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins or Duke quarterback Daniel Jones with those picks.
But quarterback isn't the only position the Giants are doing their digging on. They're apparently interested in upgrading their defensive front, as the team will host a couple of the top defensive line prospects in this year's class.
The Giants will bring in Clemson DE Clelin Ferrell and Houston DT Ed Oliver for visits, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The Giants lost a lot of the talent from their defensive line last year, so it makes sense why they'd want to replenish it. At the deadline last year, they traded away Damon ‘Snacks' Harrison, one of the best run-stuffers in the league, to the Lions. Then this offseason, they traded away star pass-rusher Olivier Vernon to the Browns.
Ferrell was a part of Clemson's dominant defensive front last year, and finished his final college season with 11.5 sacks. Ferrell is currently projected by most analysts to go in the middle-to-late first round, so he could be a fit at 17 if the Giants don't take Jones.
Oliver has been considered one of the best overall players in this class for a while. He dominated at Houston, and after his sophomore season there was talk of him going first overall. In just eight games last season, he finished with 14.5 tackles for loss.
He'd be a natural fit for the Giants with the sixth pick if he lasts that long.
