The safety position in the 2023 NFL Draft is existing in the shadow of a very good cornerback draft.
This year’s safety class isn’t weak by any means, and has some very interesting prospects. However, they’re easy to be overlooked in favor of a very deep and talented cornerback class. For instance, Penn State safety Ji’Ayir Brown is coming off of a breakout season, but isn’t getting anywhere near the talk that teammate Joey Porter Jr. is getting.
The New York Giants, meanwhile, have questions all over their secondary. Veteran and defensive captain Julian Love departed in free agency and Xavier McKinney is entering the final year of his rookie deal.
