Harbaugh Eyeing LB Styles at No. 5

Harbaugh emphasized the importance of inside linebackers for run defense, a weakness for the Giants in recent seasons. 'You can't stop the run without an inside linebacker making tackles in the middle,' Harbaugh stated, indicating he might consider selecting an off-ball linebacker with the fifth overall pick.

GM Joe Schoen confirmed that fixing the run defense is a top priority. Styles, a converted safety ranked No. 7 on Sports Info Solutions' big board, possesses exceptional athleticism, coverage skills, and toughness against the run, making him an intriguing option for Harbaugh's defensive system.
