Beckham Jr.’s comments to came from his belief that the receiver’s new team could become the new Patriots. But there’s more lurking in the story.Beckham said that he first thought he’d be traded by the Giants two years ago White Phil Simms Jerseys , and that in 2018 he believed he’d be traded to the Browns.He thereafter signed a long-term deal with the Giants, but by December he realized that “something in my gut . . . I just wasn’t very happy.”Only two months earlier, Beckham hinted at that feeling by when responding to whether he’s happy in New York by calling it a “tough question.”“It just became not the right fit,” Beckham now says. And that’s fine, but how did the Giants — who have given out plenty of big contracts and will continue to do so — not realize that there may be an issue? Months before signing Beckham to a new contract, management apparently had grown exasperated with him Phil Simms Jerseys 2019 , to the point where it felt like he could indeed be traded last March. (The tipping point seemed to be the photo of Beckham with, God forbid, a cigarette that possibly didn’t contain tobacco.)So the Giants gave him more than $20 million for a season in which he appeared in only 12 games, and they quite possibly traded him for the same kind of compensation package they may have obtained a year ago, when they should have traded him without paying out so much money to a guy who either didn’t want to be there, or simply didn’t realize it yet. Is EDTShareTweetShareShareWashington CB runs or traits they favor White Doug Kotar Jerseys , they could name any one of three or four corners as the “CB1” of this class. And while that might speak to the depth of talent at the position, the problem is that none of these players run away with the title of “best corner”, and there are far more players who are intriguing than truly impressive.Washington’s Byron Murphy might have the most well-rounded game of the corners in this draft class, boasting easy change of direction ability, the ability to cover in man and zone, and quality ball skills. The New York Giants don’t have much in the way of proven long-term answers at the cornerback position. And while Murphy might not fit the Giants’ physical archetypes for a defender Doug Kotar Jerseys 2019 , his skill set should put him in consideration for a high pick.MeasurablesProsExcellent feet and oily hips.

His fluency in multiple coverages and ability to generate big plays and turnovers would be an asset to the Giants’ defense.Murphy doesn’t have the size, length White Harry Carson Jerseys , or pure athleticism of some of the other corners in this draft class, and that could be a detriment in the eyes of a Giants’ team that likes big, long athletes on defense. However, when it comes to the traits that make up a good cover corner -- foot quickness, fluid hips, instincts Harry Carson Jerseys 2019 , and ball skills -- well, Murphy has those in spades. Quick feet and oily hips allow Murphy to easily get in receivers’ hip pockets in tight man coverage and stay there throughout the route. In off or zone coverage he shows good awareness of the play and a willingness to bait quarterbacks into making ill-advised throws. And while that does result in some completions that wouldn’t happen if he had played the receiver instead of trying to make game-changing plays, he did create plenty of big plays for his defense, including 26 passes broken up and 7 interceptions over the last two seasons.Janoris Jenkins is not likely to be in the Giants’ plans for the future, but adding Murphy in the first round would help keep a steady presence in the secondary should Sam Beal fail to pan out.
