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. We start today with a player who's been in the news.

Randy Gregory, DE, Nebraska

Chances he's there at No. 9: Not great, but his admission that he tested positive for marijuana at the combine could slide him down the board just enough for a smart team to pounce.

Why he'd be a good pick for the Giants: He's a quick, long, explosive pass-rusher -- the kind of guy who could make an impact in a situational role as a rookie even if he needs more NFL seasoning. He's also shown an ability to play the run. And the positive weed test isn't going to scare off the Giants unless they dig up something in his background that indicates a larger problem. The Giants don't know what they have yet in Damontre Moore, and there is that old saying about never having too many pass-rushers.

Why he wouldn't: He's a bit lean for a 4-3 defensive end (though that can be corrected) and may be a better fit as a stand-up outside linebacker in a 3-4. He's also had some durability concerns in college.
