The narrative pointed at the New York Giants’ secondary prior to the 2019 NFL draft was certainly a bad one. Featuring just Janoris Jenkins, Sam Beal, and Grant Haley in the defensive backfield, the Giants needed to make several major moves to upgrade the unit.
Beal, a third-round supplemental draft pick from 2018, missed all of last season with a shoulder injury that required surgery. The Giants knew about the ailment but saw the upside in his talent electing to take him anyway. He will now compete with two new corners that present a fantastic value in the first and fourth-round round specifically.
