The New York Giants need help in their defensive secondary, and as it just so happens a freak defensive back just became available.
The Oakland Raiders surprised many around the NFL media-scape when they released 2017 second round pick Obi Melifonwu Thursday afternoon.
As a second-year player, Melifonwu is not yet eligible for free agency and will hit the waiver wire. By virtue of having the second pick in the 2018 draft, the Giants have the second claim on the waiver wire behind the Cleveland Browns. So, there is a good chance they will be able to get any player on whom they put a claim.
