The New York Giants selected Indiana linebacker Micah McFadden on Saturday with their first of two fifth-round picks, No. 146 overall. The Giants are also on the clock for pick No. 147.
Dane Brugler of The Athletic had a fifth-round grade on McFadden in his annual draft guide. He writes:
A three-year starter at Indiana, McFadden played the middle linebacker position in former defensive coordinator Charlton Warren’s 4-2-5 base scheme. The lowest-ranked non-kicker in the Hoosiers’ 2018 recruiting class, he led the team in tackles for loss three consecutive seasons and was one of the few bright spots on a bad Indiana defense in 2021 (led the team in tackles, tackles for loss, sacks, and forced fumbles as a senior).
