Nine for No. 9: Vic Beasley

The New York Giants hold the No. 9 pick in this year's draft. Each day from March 28 through April 5 (that's nine days -- we did the math for you), we will take a quick look at one prospect who might be available and a fit for the Giants at that spot. Today, we conclude this series with a pass-rusher who may be a pipe dream.

Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson

Chances he's there at No. 9: Worse every day. Beasley was a monster at the combine and may have vaulted himself into consideration for one of the pass-rush-hungry teams (Jacksonville, Washington, Chicago, Atlanta) picking before the Giants.

Why he'd be a good pick for the Giants: He's big, strong, fast and disruptive in the pass rush. There's really not a whole lot else to say. The Giants have Jason Pierre-Paul, Damontre Moore and a bunch of question marks at defensive end, and Moore himself is still a pretty big question mark. Adding to the pass-rush pantry is never a bad idea.

Why he wouldn't: I guess you could wonder if he'll be all right with his hand in the ground as a 4-3 end. His game is speed and quickness, and it may be tough for him, at least initially, to take on NFL tackles in close space.
