The New York Giants sacrificed a pair of selections in the 2019 NFL Draft, a fourth-round pick (132nd) and a fifth-round pick (142nd) to move from No. 37 to No. 30 and select Georgia cornerback DeAndre Baker.
They did it because cornerback was a position where the Giants obviously needed help, and per GM Dave Gettleman the Giants felt Baker was “the best cover corner in the draft.”
The Giants went all-in to upgrade the cornerback spot, also selecting Julian Love (Round 4) and Corey Ballentine (Round 6) to add to new safeties Jabrill Peppers and Antoine Bethea.
