Folorunso Fatukasi is his name, and he’s a good rotational defensive player for the Giants at this stage. He’s raw, and he will need some time to develop, but he can become a run stopper and occasional sack guy for the G-Men.

Fatusaki is a strong and powerful player with the ability to stop the run and the pass. He has enough athleticism to handle the interior line work the Jets need. The best part of Fatusaki’s game is his versatility. He can play all across the line. If the Giants scheme plan on using the outside linebackers to set the edge, he’s a perfect scheme fit.

When the edge rushers funnel the running backs to them, they are expected to be able to stop the run. Fatukasi can do that. He will fit in to this Jets defense right away on a rotational basis while he’s developing. He’s exactly what the Giants would need in a defense end in their new 3-4 scheme, and Fatukasi has a great future in this scheme.

They got their edge rusher in the first round. Now they got their plugger in the middle. Fatukasi may be a little raw, but he will be more than capable of filling his role while he’s learning the NFL.
