After a year of Curtis Riley and the departure of Landon Collins, it was widely believed that they almost had to draft a safety highly. However, the Giants could believe that they have solved their ills and solidified the back end of their defense with the additions of veteran Antoine Bethea and Jabrill Peppers. However, Bethea will be 35 when the season opens and Peppers will only be under the Giants’ control for the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Mississippi State safety Johnathan Abram has similar measurables to Bethea and plays a similar role to Peppers. Could he be on the Giants’ radar?MeasurablesProsGood size with a versatile frame. Able to hang in man coverage on most running backs and tight ends.Frequently used as a slot defender. Capable blitzer.Very high motor. Rangy and relentless in pursuit. Quick to fire downhill in run support.Good, reliable tackler.ConsDoesn’t show the same range in coverage as he does in pursuit.Can be over-eager on play-fakes. Doesn’t appear to be a special athlete.Might be limited to playing near the line of scrimmage. Prospect VideoWhat They’re Saying - Kyle Crabbs (The Draft Network - Scouting Report) Does He Fit The Giants?As a box safety with the upside to cover most tight ends and running backs, as well as play as a pseudo-linebacker in nickel sets Sterling Shepard Jerseys 2019 , Abram does fit in the Giants defense. However, that role is already filled by Jabrill Peppers, with Michael Thomas already behind him on the depth chart.It can be argued whether or not Abram or Peppers is better in that role on the field, but after the Giants dealt Odell Beckham Jr. to acquire Peppers, they are unlikely to draft another similar player. Abram would be an interesting pick if Peppers weren’t already on the roster. His versatility near the line of scrimmage and impressive physicality are both reminiscent of Landon Collins and he would have slotted in nicely after the Giants let Collins leave in free agency. The bigger question is whether or not the GIants would have invested the pick required to secure Abram, which would have likely been their second round pick. Dave Gettleman has never drafted the safety position highly, and as primarily a box safety, Abram’s value might be lower than a player who is able to man the center field as a free safety. However, that is likely a moot point and it would be a surprise if the Giants selected Abram. The New York Giants are a discouraging 2-7. Saquon Barkley missed 31/2 games with a high ankle sprain. Barkley’s production is down White Darian Thompson Jerseys , averaging 15 yards less rushing per game and 7 yards less receiving per game than he did when he won Rookie of the Year honors last season.Barkley, though, refused on Thursday to admit disappointment.“Disappointment? No. What’s to be disappointed about? Obviously, yes, am I upset that we’re 2-7? I don’t think anyone’s happy that we’re 2-7. Am I happy that I hurt my ankle and I missed three and a half games this year? No, I’m not happy about that,” Barkley said. “But, disappointing? No. I get to come in and play the sport that I love and play for an amazing organization, so I’m not disappointed at all. We’ve just got to find a way to get better Darian Thompson Jerseys 2019 , find a way to fight through it, and when we do flip the script, there’s definitely going to be great things ahead, I believe.”Barkley said he feels like he has “just got to be better.”He gets a chance to do that Sunday against the New York Jets. It’s a game that puts his fan father, a life-long Jets fan, in an awkward spot.Barkley said his dad will wear a Joe Namath jersey that Saquon purchased for him.“It’s kind of weird because he has a Jets tattoo, so even if he wears a Saquon Barkley jersey, he’s still repping the Jets. But, if you ever met my dad White Kevin Zeitler Jerseys , you know my dad, he’s been a Jets fan his whole life, so is he going to root for the Jets? Yes, but he’s going to root for the Giants and his son at the same time,” Barkley said. “So, he gets the best of both worlds. Watch his team that he grew up rooting for and get to watch his son live his dream.”In the Giants’ dreams they are hoping to see the pre-high ankle sprain Barkley. If that guy shows up it would go a long way toward helping them break their five-game losing streak.
