Michael Strahan -- Giants Should Take Ezekiel Elliott ... 'Good Kid'

The good news ... Michael Strahan says he's confident the NY Giants should take Ezekiel Elliott in the 1st round of the NFL Draft.

The bad news ... who the hell knows if he's still gonna be available when the Giants select with the 10th pick!!

Strahan was out in NYC Monday night -- preparing for the return of Kelly Ripa today -- when we hit him with a curveball ... a football question.

Even if the G-Men don't take the Ohio State running back, it's clear Strahan likes the guy personally saying, "He's a good kid."
