Giants reportedly drooling over Christian McCaffrey

Paul Schwartz of the New York Post says the Giants would love for running back Christian McCaffrey to fall to them in the first round of this week’s NFL draft.

This, from someone familiar with the Giants’ thinking heading into the NFL draft, is a four-word synopsis of a player viewed as a perfect fit in their offense — a do-everything running back who would keep coach Ben McAdoo up at night, devising new and inventive ways to get the ball in his soft yet vice-grip hands. The Giants have the 23rd-overall pick in the first round Thursday night, which might be out of the comfort zone to nab McCaffrey — a coveted player in a draft loaded with quality running backs.
