Barring a trade up in the third-round of the NFL Draft, general manager Dave Gettleman and the Giants will have plenty of idle time on their hands Friday night. After trading pick No. 37 overall, in the second-round, as part of a package to the Seattle Seahawks to move up for cornerback DeAndre Baker at No. 30, the Giants’ won’t go on the clock again until pick No. 95 overall in the third-round. The player the Giants choose in the third-round will be inextricably tied to the blockbuster trade that sent Odell Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns, because the Giants previously forfeited their original third-round choice when they chose cornerback Sam Beal in the third-round of last summer’s Supplemental Draft. What kind of prospect can the Giants expect to acquire with the pick that was acquired as part of the Beckham trade? Here’s a look back at the last five players chosen at No. 95 overall: 2018: Tarvarius Moore, cornerback, San Francisco 49ers Moore appeared in all 16 games and made two starts as a rookie, contributing both on special teams and defense for the 49ers. A natural safety at Southern Mississippi, the 49ers moved Moore to cornerback where he contributed 23 tackles, two pass breakups and one forced fumble. 2017: Delano Hill, SS, Seattle Seahawks Hill was active for 15 games as a rookie, but did not make any starts or record any defensive statistics in 2017. In his second season, Hill entered Week 1 as the Seahawks’ third-string safety. Following Earl Thomas’ season-ending injury he was bumped up the depth chart and made his first start in Week 16. Hill has 24 career tackles, two tackles for loss, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery. 2016: Graham Glasgow, C, Detroit Lions Glasgow was drafted by the Detroit Lions out of Michigan, as a center, but has emerged as a stalwart along the interior of the offensive line. In three seasons, Glasgow has started 43 of 47 games including all 16 at center in 2016. 2015: Matt Jones, RB, Washington Redskins Jones is already out of the league after three disappointing seasons, where he failed to log 1,000 rushing yards. He was released after two seasons with the Washington Redskins, failed to make the Eagles’ roster out of training camp in 2017 and appeared in five games for the Indianapolis Colts that season. In three seasons, Jones played 25 games, with seven starts, and rushed for 964 yards and six touchdowns. 2014: Michael Schofield, OT, Denver Broncos Schofield has become a mainstay in the AFC West. In three seasons with the Broncos, Schofield started 29 games before signing with the Chargers where he’s started 21 games over the past two seasons. --- There haven’t been any Pro Bowlers or first-team All-Pros chosen at pick No. 95 over the past half decade, but three of the players can be counted as steady contributors, which should be the bar for Gettleman and the Giants to be shooting for on Friday night.

Related 8 players Giants could target on Day 2 of 2019 NFL Draft Late on Thursday night, general manager Dave Gettleman & Co. traded back into Round 1, sending picks No. 37 (second round), No. 132 (fourth round) and No. 142 (fifth round) to the Seattle Seahawks for No. 30 overall. The trade, which netted Georgia cornerback Deandre Baker, shook things up for the Giants down the stretch of the draft quite considerably. And after entering with a league-high 12 total picks, Big Blue is now down to seven remaining. No. 95 (Round 3) No. 108 (Round 4) No. 143 (Round 5) No. 171 (Round 5) No. 180 (Round 6) No. 232 (Round 7) No. 245 (Round 7) With those seven picks in tow, don’t expect Gettleman to sit on his hands. Similar to Day 1, he’ll be wheeling and dealing as he looks to move back up into the second round or net an additional third round pick.<doc-sep>This year’s NFL draft was set up to be a franchise changing event for the New York Giants. The biggest change was that they blew any chance of contending in the near future. I’ve been a New York Giants football fan my entire life. My dad was born in 1925, the Giants first year. Dad hated then coach Allie Sherman for trading Sam Huff to Washington in 1964. My brothers and I would laugh at how angry he would get about it decades later until he passed in1999. In all my time supporting Big Blue, I have never been as disappointed in their front office as I am today. He would have been just as disgusted. Number six Here we are less than a full day since the 2019 NFL draft began and I still can’t mentally get past that horror show the New York Giants put on last night. After Oakland stunned the world by selecting Clelin Ferrell at four, and Tampa went with linebacker Devin White fifth, the stage was set for the Giants to make a statement. I was as excited as I have been for a draft, in anticipation of a brand new edition of “The Big Blue Wrecking Crew.” They made a statement all right. With outside linebacker and sack machine, Josh Allen on the board, as well as several blue chip tackles and some athletically freakish defensive ends, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, announced the New York Giants selected Duke quarterback Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick. Holy Crap! In a draft where quarterback prospects dropped like sales of R.Kelly music the last 60 days, Giants GM Dave Gettleman went with the third or fourth-best rated QB. The way things played out, Jones would have been available with their second pick of the first round, 17th overall. Even if he wasn’t there, Big Blue could have gotten Josh Rosen for a steal from Arizona (likely a second or third round pick plus a lower round pick). On EWB’s twitter page, I said the New York Giants found a way to make Oakland look smart. The most telling tweet came from ESPN’s Max Kellerman: Imagine trading @obj and IN HIS PRIME (and taking a 20 million dollar cap hit) for the 17th pick in the draft, and having that NOT be the worst move you make as a GM that off season. — Max Kellerman (@maxkellerman) April 26, 2019 One last point. In his post-first-round press conference, Gettleman explained why Jones was such a great pickup. Meanwhile, head coach Pat Shurmur looked like someone who just got punched in the stomach by George Foreman in his prime. To paraphrase ESPN’s Mike Greenberg on “Get Up!,” Friday morning. If Jones was such a good choice, why does Gettleman need to explain it to the media? ﻿ The draft went on from there because it doesn’t stop for shocking screw ups. The Giants would come up again at 17 for their second pick of the night.<doc-sep>The New York Giants have selected Old Dominion edge rusher Oshane Ximines with the 95th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Related 5 reasons to be optimistic about Giants QB Daniel Jones After failing to address their pass rush problem on Day 1 of the draft, the Giants had to wait a long time on Day 2 to finally remedy that. However, as Round 3 wound down, they did exactly that with Ximines. Background Ximines was born in New York City, but his family eventually moved south where he attended Hertford County High School in North Carolina. Football was always in his plans, and during his High School career, Ximines recorded 145 tackles and 35 sacks. In 2014, Ximines committed to Old Dominion, where he went on to appear in 50 games, recording 176 tackles, 32.5 sacks and one interception. Physical Traits and Stats Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 253 Arms: 33” Hands: 9 7/8” 40-yard: 4.78 3-Cone: 7.13 Shuttle: 4.57 Bench Reps: 24 Broad Jump: 118.0 High School: Hertford County (NC) How does Ximines fit in with the Giants? Ximines provides the Giants with exactly what they are lacking — a legitimate edge rusher with both speed and some power. He has a body size like that of Osi Umenyiora, and can get off the snap similar to the Chief as well. Where Ximines steps in on Day 1 remains to be seen, but he’s an edge prospect very much like Lorenzo Carter, who made great strides down the stretch in 2018. Given the team’s need on the edge, Ximines figures to play a potentially important role.<doc-sep>
The Giants entered the NFL Draft with more holes than picks in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft. So, barring a trade down somewhere in the first two days of action, there was going to a be a glaring need when the fourth round rolled around. Day 3 of the Draft is upon us, and the need is right tackle. “There are still tackles on the board that we like,” Giants general manager Dave Gettleman said. The Giants went quarterback (Daniel Jones), defensive tackle (Dexter Lawrence) and cornerback (Deandre Baker) in the first round, and opted for edge rusher (Oshane Ximines) over offensive tackle in the third round. Ximines had a low second-round grade on the Giants’ draft board. The need that probably could have waited in a difference scenario is defensive tackle, but Gettleman said the value in the “defensive tackle group fell down to the floor” after Lawrence. The Giants have six picks in the final four rounds of the start, starting with No. 108 overall. Only five more players will come off the board between now and then. “We have not had to reach for a pick,” Gettleman said. “If things are working for your, after you get past the first round, more often than not you are going to get guys a round above. It worked for us last year and it worked today.” How will Gettleman handle the rest of the draft? “There are guys (available) in the fourth and fifth rounds that we really like,” Gettleman said. “We still have third-round guys available. Right now, I don’t know that we are going to move on. Right now, I’d like to sit and take the (first) three picks." The Rams took Bobby Evans at No. 97 and the Patriots took Yodny Cajuste at No. 101, leaving Clemson’s Mitch Hyatt, Penn State’s Ryan Bates and Elon’s Oli Udoh among the top remaining tackles. The Giants have one sixth-round pick and two seventh-round picks. While dumping those into a package might seem smart rather than bringing in a 10-player draft class with cut-able players, Gettleman could use the seventh-rounders as a way of securing his top projected undrafted targets. Once the draft ends, there is competition for the best available like a free agent market, often going to the team offering the most guaranteed money.
