The Giants want to upgrade at each safety and cornerback. They want to uncover at the very least just one, but maybe up to two new starters in the secondary through cost-free agency and the 2019 NFL Draft. More importantly, they want to uncover depth. The Giants ended up lucky to make it via the 2018 frequent season with only just one significant injuries in the secondary (Landon Collins), but if they get a lot less lucky on the injuries front in 2019, they will want reinforcements.

Curtis Riley, B.W. Webb, and Grant Haley performed considerable snaps in the Giants secondary previous season. Riley and Webb performed just about 100 percent of the defensive snaps just about every subsequent the franchise’s conclusion to trade starting up cornerback Eli Apple. Riley and Webb each graded out, at the very least according to Pro Soccer Concentration, as two of the worst unique players at their positions, respectively.

He earned just one of the 5 most effective all round grades from Pro Soccer Concentration amid all cornerbacks in the NFC East — not just slot defenders.

They also want depth. They will uncover all of this with a combination of cost-free agent signings and draft picks.
