On Friday night, the New York Giants addressed their defense and the linebacker position when they selected Lorenzo Carter from the University of Georgia.

Carter was selected as the 66th overall pick and the first of two third round picks that the Giants had in the 2018 NFL Draft.

With the departure of Devon Kennard in free agency, Carter will fill in as the edge pass rusher at outside linebacker and potentially line up at times at defensive end in James Bettcher’s 3-4 defense.

Here are five things to know about Lorenzo Carter.

The Giants tried to trade up for him

Earlier on Friday night, Giants general manager Dave Gettleman tried to make a deal to move up, likely into the second round, to take Carter.

Carter continued to fall and eventually fell into the laps of the Giants at the 66th pick.

Gettleman hasn’t been too keen on the idea of dipping into future draft picks to make a deal, and in this case, he didn’t need to make a trade since Carter fell into the beginning of the third round.

But it does tell you how highly thought of Carter was by the Giants.
