y when Duke quarterback Daniel Jones officially declared for the 2019 NFL Draft. Draft analyst Dane Brugler confirmed that the advisory committee told Jones that several teams have first round grades on him. As of now Eli Manning Color Rush Jersey , Jones is the likely QB 1, at least until Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins declares for the draft. With the Giants having to confront the future of their quarterback position, Jones might be a player to watch. Jones has prototypical size and the athleticism to evade pressure, navigate the backfield, and even threaten as a runner. He is also active in the presnap phase, has a quick delivery Connor Barwin Color Rush Jersey , and is generally accurate to all levels of the field. He enters the draft coming off a terrific bowl game performance in which he lead Duke to a win. Jones overcame a first quarter ankle injury to throw five touchdowns and run in a sixth. Jones could be a quarterback to watch for the Giants, and there are connections to be drawn. He was coached by David Cutcliffe and has a relationship with Eli Manning through their mutual coach and the Manning Passing Academy.

Adams will be 38 next season and while GM Dave Gettleman says he doesn’t look at age, that’s a bit long in the tooth for a safety.So, let’s focus on Munnerlyn as a potential target for the defensive back-needy New York Giants.The basicsAge: 31 in AprilHeight: 5-foot-9 | Weight: 185Position: CornerbackExperience: 102018 stats: 16 games (5 starts) | Tackles (47) | Interceptions (1) | Passes defensed (9)Pro Football Focus: Overall grade (61.6) | Run defense (65.0) | Tackling (76.2 — 4 missed tackles) | Coverage (60.3) | Yards per reception (10.0) | Passer rating against (85.4)Munnerlyn finished No. 14 among 22 qualifying slot corners in yards per coverage snap (1.24) and seventh in snaps per reception allowed (8.1).Sports Info Solutions has him 39th in yards allowed per pass and 32nd in success rate among 85 qualified corners in 2018.The skinny Let’s start here — Gettleman signed Munnerlyn to a four-year Saquon Barkley Color Rush Jersey , $17 million contract ($6.9 million guaranteed) with the Panthers in 2017. That’s the same contract Carolina just bailed on.So, we know that the Giants’ GM obviously likes the player. The Giants obviously have a need to upgrade the talent in the secondary.Does that make Munnerlyn a fit for the Giants?Maybe.Munnerlyn is purely a slot corner. He played 520 of 630 snaps in the slot last season. In 2017, that was 333 out of 404.The Giants do have Grant Haley as a potential slot corner. They could bring back B.W. Webb, who began last season in the slot before moving outside following the trade of Eli Apple.Munnerlyn has never been a great player, but still appears to be a good one. Carolina has released veterans Munnerlyn, Adams and Thomas Davis this offseason as they try to get younger on that side of the ball.The Giants Sterling Shepard Color Rush Jersey , frankly, just need to get better. Is Munnerlyn a player who could help them do that?
