The New York Giants and New York Jets have strong interest in Ahmad, according to SNY.
The Giants and Jets are going to invite him for a predraft visit as well. The fifth and seventh picks in the NFL draft are in the former.
The 11th-best player on the big board isGardner. He went seventh to the Giants in the most recent mock draft.
Cory Giddings, a B/R NFL scout, said that he would give the Giants youth and consistency in the defensive backfield.
The Giants aren't planning to release James Bradberry according to Mike Garafolo. Bradberry is expected to either move on one way or the other as the general manager changes the roster.
The Giants would be better off with an immediate replacement since they seem to be willing to embark on a transitional year.
The Jets need to upgrade their secondary, which allowed the third-most passing yards per game and ranked 31st in opponent passer rating last season.
Signing D.J. Reed to a three-year, $33 million deal won't solve the issue on its own, so the corner position is likely near the top of the front office's draft board. The Jets would get more support against the pass with the addition of Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton and Northern Iowa offensive tackle Trevor Penning.
In the days and weeks leading up to the draft, teams try to avoid tipping their hands. It is not surprising to say that he could end up playing for one of New York's two franchises.
