South Carolina. 3. player. 31. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. WR. Bryan Edwards

In his four years at South Carolina, Bryan Edwards solidified himself as one of the league’s most reliable weapons. He hauled in at least 44 catches and 590 yards in each of his four college seasons, including 846 yards as a Junior in 2018 and 816 as a Senior in 2019.

The 6-3 wide receiver could help the New York Giants form one of football’s best wide receivers corps. While Darius Slayton, Golden Tate and Sterling Sheppard is already an impressive group, it lacks size and both Tate and Sheppard do their best work in the slot.

Edwards can play out wide and provide young quarterback Daniel Jones with a reliable red-zone target, especially if the team decides to trade away former first rounder Evan Engram.

Projection: Third round, No. 99 overall (Giants)
