2020 NFL Draft prospect profile: Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama

The New York Giants have a need at the safety position. While they added Jabrill Peppers and Julian Love last year, both players have done better playing closer to the line of scrimmage than they did playing over the top.

But while we can identify the need, we don’t exactly know what kind of safety would interest the Giants, because we don’t know exactly what kind of defense Patrick Graham will call. If the Giants select a safety early in the draft, the skill set of the player selected could tell us quite a lot about what kind of defense the defense have in mind.
