New York Giants could land second-round linebacker to pair with Ryan Connelly

Error 0:

One position the New York Giants desperately need to address this off-season is linebacker. Last year, they featured Alec Ogletree and Ryan Connelly to start the season, but Connelly quickly went down with a torn ACL against the Washington Redskins, prematurely ending his season and an impressive development up to that point.

With several premium options in free agency and the NFL draft, the Giants have the resources to bolster the position exponentially, finally plugging in a player to cover tight ends and stop the run. Isaiah Simmons out of Clemson has been the frequent flyer for the Giants regarding projection in the draft, but one other option has me intrigued, and he is also from Wisconsin, just like Connelly.
