However, teams who could be a bumper crop of cornerbacks who are intriguing developmental prospects -- particularly when it comes to big, long, physical former wide receivers. As it stands now, the New York Giants do need to look at the cornerback position for the future, but they might be okay for the present. That would put them in the group of teams who could be looking for mid-round prospects who could develop into starters. Both James Bettcher and Dave Gettleman have shown an affinity for long corners, and Justin Layne of Michigan State could catch their eye as a long press-man corner .MeasurablesProsUncommon length for the position. 6-foot 1 戮 inches, 33-inch arms. Good technique in press coverage.Good hips to stay in tight coverage with receivers. Uses length well to disrupt at the catch point. Willing run defender.Quick to come downhill against underneath throws.ConsNeeds to improve awareness of blockers in space.Can get lost in zone coverage.A bit slow-footed and leggy in his backpedal. Can make transitions difficult against quicker receivers.Prospect VideoWhat They’re Saying - Kyle Krabbs (The Draft Network - Scouting Report) Does He Fit The Giants?If the Giants want to lean on press-man coverage as the backbone of their defense, the Layne certainly fits. He also fits the Giants’ archetype of big, long, athletic defenders and has an uncommon blend of size and athleticism for the position.He is one of several converted wide receivers in this draft class Authentic George Asafo-Adjei Jersey , and shows it with his recognition of route concepts and when to make a play on a receiver preparing to catch the ball. He needs to improve in zone coverage, both in his foot quickness and awareness -- he sometimes loses track of blockers while in pursuit -- but he does have the agility and burst to be effective there with good coaching. Layne has remarkably similar measurables to Sam Beal, who the Giants selected with their (natural) third round pick during the 2018 Supplemental Draft, and they could view Layne as a potential Day 2 pick to develop alongside Beal.

Russo-USA TODAY SportsDexter Lawrence grew up in North Carolina, but he was always paying attention to the New York Giants. He remembers “Growing up watching the D-line, (former Giants DE) Justin Tuck, and (former Giants DE) Michael Strahan, and (former Giants DT) Fred Robbins, (former Giants DE) Osi Umenyiora. Growing up just watching them kind of inspired me.”That turned him into a Giants fan and turned being selected 17th overall by the Giants in the 2019 NFL Draft on Thursday into a “great moment.”Now, the 6-foot-4 George Asafo-Adjei Jersey Boys , 342-pound defensive lineman is aiming to take his place among those storied linemen.“My goal is to come in day one and challenge the defensive line as being the greatest unit in the world kind of thing,” Lawrence said. “That’s just kind of what my mindset is going to be and what is has been since I’ve been in high school. Let’s not settle, let’s go get it. Right now, I’m real happy to be a Giant.”Per Sports Info Solutions, Lawrence had zero tackle attempts broken in 2018. Here are some of the other things Lawrence touched on during a brief conference call with New York media on Thursday night.On comparisons to Damon Harrison ...The Giants, of course, traded ‘Snacks’ to the Detroit Lions last season.“I feel like my game is very powerful, a smart player, non-quit effort kind of guy. That’s just my mindset every play, and how I want to attack every snap.”On the idea that he isn’t a pass rusher ...Lawrence had 6.5 sacks in 2016, but only 4.5 over the past two seasons.“I do consider myself a pass rusher,” he said. “I just got to unlock it Infant George Asafo-Adjei Jersey , that’s all. A lot of times, I didn’t set myself up for things. I know that’ll be the difference, and that’s a big focus of mine is to stop all the doubting.”Lawrence said a 2017 foot injury limited his mobility.“I feel like my sophomore year, I was battling an injury playing on one leg kind of deal. My junior season, I got my confidence back a lot more the second half of the season. The first half of the season, I was kind of timid on it a little bit, but I’ve gotten over that hump,” he said. “I got a screw in my fifth metatarsal, but that had healed. The problem was they did a nerve block in the back of my leg and it irritated the nerves in my leg and I couldn’t do a toe raise or push-off with it or do anything with it for like a year and a month.”On his 2018 suspension for a failed drug test ...Lawrence missed both the Cotton Bowl and the National Championship Game. He said he had to explain what happened in “every meeting, everywhere I went, every media source” during the draft process.“It was something I had to deal with. It was unfortunate that happened to me. I was innocent, but God had a plan for me and I felt like that helped people learn who I truly was George Asafo-Adjei Jersey Draft ,” Larence said. “It got people to know me, I got to express myself. I had the choice to go to the media, I didn’t have to, but I wanted to so that I make the narrative kind of deal and not let people put their little spin on things that they do.”On Daniel Jones ...Lawrence has played against the quarterback the Giants took sixth overall.“I like him a lot. Playing against him when we played Duke, I gained a lot of respect for him,” Lawrence said. “He did not quit and he’s deceptively fast. His arm is really accurate, I feel like a lot of his balls were dropped so his stats weren’t really there watching film, but I think he’s really special.”
