When the New York Giants made the transition from the 4-3 to the 3-4 defense, it brought upon a slew of changes that could ultimately pay dividends for a team that had the 26th ranked unit defense in the league last year. Drafting defensive end, B.J. Hill, will help the cause.
Hill was selected with one of the Giants’ third-round draft picks, helping solidify the defensive front and provide defensive coordinator James Bettcher with a potential starting tackle. The 3-4 defense requires three down lineman that can take up space and open up gaps for the linebacker to exploit.
