1. SAFETY
With no returning starters at the position, the Giants seized an opportunity to be aggressive in the draft and traded up to select unanimous All-American safety Landon Collins of Alabama with the first pick in the second round. The rookie was brought in to produce right away, and in the spring he was doing just that as he lined up on the top safety tandem. His counterpart during organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamp was Cooper Taylor, a former fifth-round draft choice who missed the entire 2014 season with a foot injury.
Meanwhile, second-year pro Nat Berhe missed most of spring workouts with a calf issue but will do all he can in training camp to make up for the lost time.
