Who’s behind Xavier McKinney? Hidden Safety gems for Big Blue in the NFL Draft

It is another day and another position group view for OGP. Adam and Andy dive in on the Safety's coming out in the NFL Draft. Xavier McKinney is an electric young Giant every fan is excited about, and Andy outlines why Wink Martindale's system can benefit the young safety and reduce the high draft need for Big Blue. Make no mistake, a player like Jaquan Brisker would have the OGP hosts salivating on Draft day, but with so many holes to fill the guys look a little deeper. Adam highlights Bryan Cook, the "thumper" out of Cincinnati with a high football IQ capable of playing in the box as well as back in coverage. An average ADP of 87 could put him right in the Giants value wheelhouse. Andy, after highlighting single-high Safety percentages in the Martindale scheme dives a little deeper with Verone McKinley out of Oregon. Every measurable points to a "non-athlete" but his falling stock has Andy watching tape and thinking draft steal for the Giants. In addition to players like Cam Taylor-Britt from Nebraska and Leon O'Neal Jr out of Texas A&M the thing the hosts agree on - there is talent throughout the draft for Big Blue!
