While you could make the argument that the New York Giants ‘need’ to allocate resources toward a bevy of positions, one that stands out is free safety.
The Giants haven’t hosted a top-notch free safety in years, and trotting out Antoine Bethea to act like a blind man in the secondary wasn’t the answer in 2019. Bethea was stout against the run but was an absolute liability in the defensive backfield, recording zero interceptions at least 10-yards away from the line of scrimmage and just six passes defended.
Despite Bethea’s lack of production at free safety, he was essential to DeAndre Baker’s adaptation to the NFL, and even then, Baker didn’t prove his first-round valuation.
