NFL Draft: New York Giants Luck Into Xavier McKinney

Error 0:

All good things come to those who wait and that applied to the New York Giants on Friday night in Round Two of the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Giants had the 36th overall selection and were intent on obtaining more Day Two draft capital via a trade. They were just about pull the trigger on a deal when one of the most prized players of the draft – Alabama safety Xavier McKinney – fell into their laps.

“The first thing I’ll tell you is we had made up our mind that if Xavier fell to us, we were taking him,” said general manager Dave Gettleman.
