New York Giants trade up, select Georgia CB DeAndre Baker at 30

Big Blue has traded up into the first round.

The New York Giants gave the Seattle Seahawks their second-round pick (No. 37 overall), a fourth-round pick (No. 132) and a fifth-round pick (No. 142). In return, the Giants received the Seahawks first-round pick at No. 30 overall. As a result, Big Blue selected cornerback DeAndre Baker out of Georgia.

Baker was one of the top defensive backs in this draft class and proves to have first round-caliber talent. In his senior year, he racked up 40 total tackles, two interceptions and nine passes defended for the Bulldogs.
