The New York Giants selected cornerback Julian Love in Round 4 of the 2019 NFL Draft on Saturday, 108th overall. Love, from Notre Dame, was one of two cornerbacks remaining on our Big Board who had second-round grades.
Love, 5-foot-10 3/4, 195 pounds, projects best as a slot corner. Per Dane Brugler of The Athletic in his annual draft guide:
Love’s lack of ideal size, speed and suddenness will be tougher to mask vs. NFL receivers, but his velvet feet, intelligence and ball skills are the type of traits worth betting on, projecting best in the nickel.
