The New York Giants had a defense-heavy draft in 2019. Despite drafting a quarterback with the 6th overall pick, the Giants made defense their main priority in the 2019 NFL Draft.
After drafting their next franchise quarterback in Daniel Jones with their first pick in the 1st-round, New York followed that up by drafting defense with each of their next five selections. However, it took the Giants until the 3rd-round to draft a designated pass-rusher.
Most fans believe that the Giants did not get a pass-rusher until the 3rd-round but that is not necessarily true.
