Giants select Linval Joseph in round 2!!!

With their second pick in the 2010 NFL draft the NY Giants selected Defensive Tackle Linval Joseph. The Giants had a pressing need for a run stuffing tackle as their D line was abysmal last season. Joseph, from East Carolina is mammoth at 6'4" 328.  Joseph is a big body who could line up at nose tackle in a 3-4 front or interior defender in a 4-3 scheme. He is somewhat one dimensional as a run defender. He flashes ability to anchor well when he keeps his pads down but can be very inconsistent in this area. He has strong arms and hands to control blockers but can be slow to shed to the pile. He has decent quickness between the tackles but lacks range outside the box. He flashes power to collapse the pocket as a bull rusher but needs to expand his pass-rush package to become more effective in this area. Joseph has enough size and strength to push for a starting role along the defensive line.
