Kwity Paye could be an every-down edge rusher given his talent and value despite defensive coordinator Patrick Graham’s matchup-based schemes and gameplans. He would learn a whole lot from Leonard Williams on the pass-rushing front and fielding Paye with guys like Williams and Blake Martinez would make for a dangerous Giants front seven.
The Michigan standout would instantly start — it’s unclear if Lorenzo Carter or Oshane Ximines are long-term options at the outside linebacker position due to either’s inconsistency.
The Giants simply require talent on the edge — Paye would provide that talent and help the front seven complement a stacked secondary that just added cornerback Adoree’ Jackson on a three-year deal.
