pThe Giants currently hold the 6th pick in the First PML draft of this cycle. The Giants ended the season 5-12. This put them in a three way tie with the Titans and Dolphins for the same record. The Giants had the better tie breakers which resulted in beating them in the standings. This is going to be a series of articles where we’ll go through each of the top draft prospects that the Giants have on their draft board. We will see where each person fits on the time and the likeliness of the Giants drafting them.p
pThe safety position on the Giants at the moment is not great. Holland is back there holding down the fort, however, he needs a partner. Nubin played okay but his speed is a liability and only should be used as a sub linebacker. This is where a complete player like Downs comes into play. Downs comes out of the gate as most likely the best player in the draft. His only knock is he isn’t the fastest guy on the field. He won’t be able to man up the speedier guys in the league, but should be able to handle everything else. He would be the missing piece that the Giants defense is looking for. He will be drafted if he falls to pick 6, but rumors are he is going first overall. p
