The New York Giants made 10 selections, but the 2019 draft class will always be remembered, for better or worse, for how well Daniel Jones pans out a the NFL level. We will get to Jones in a minute, but please reference an earlier column detailing the “Nest” New York created for an incoming young quarterback. For Jones, the Giants are a prime landing spot for his development.
Outside of the sixth overall pick being made on a quarterback; this draft was about rebuilding a defense. It might be a little shocking that New York waited all the way until the 232nd overall pick before addressing its offensive line, but the Giants did select five defenders between the 17th and 143rd picks overall and then added Corey Ballentine in the sixth round and Chris Slayton, both defensive prospects, in the seventh round to conclude their draft class.
