What Giants might do at safety in 2024 NFL Draft

Here is another spot in the defensive backfield that is not exactly fully-stocked with proven talent.

The leading man the past few years, Xavier McKinney, left for riches ($67 million) bestowed upon him by the Packers.

McKinney played all 1,128 snaps on defense in 2023, meaning there is a whole bunch of playing time awaiting someone.

Jason Pinnock returns at one starting spot and perhaps ballhawk Dane Belton is ready for a larger role.

Veteran Jalen Mills was signed to a one-year deal and he should compete for work.

GM Joe Schoen does not believe in spending big for a safety and probably doesn’t want to invest major draft capital at this position.

If he does, Day 2 options include Tyler Nubin (Minnesota), Calen Bullock (USC), Javon Bullard (Georgia), Jaden Hicks (Washington State), Kamren Kinchens (Miami) and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (Texas Tech).
