ew York Giants selected cornerback Julian Love in Round 4 of the 2019 NFL Draft on Saturday Daniel Jones Giants Jersey , 108th overall. Love, from Notre Dame, was one of two cornerbacks remaining on our Big Board who had second-round grades.Love, 5-foot-10 3/4, 195 pounds, projects best as a slot corner. Per Dane Brugler of The Athletic in his annual draft guide:Love’s reaction to being selected by the Giants:Love was a consensus All-American in his final year at Notre Dame, during which he recorded 63 tackles, 16 passes defensed, three fumble recoveries and one interception. With Love, 30th overall pick Deandre Baker and 2018 Supplemental Draft selection Sam Beal the Giants will have three first-year cornerbacks.SB Nation’s Notre Dame website Julian Love Jersey , One Foot Down, expressed surprise that Love was not selected during the draft’s first two days:In a conference call shortly after the selection was announced, Love was asked what he brings to the Giants:“I think I’m a pretty physical player, I don’t shy away from contact at all. If anything, I show a lot of effort, I’m a smart player and I make plays,” Love said. “That’s what I’ve done my whole life and I’m excited to do that going forward. I’m just going to continue to be a playmaker.”The pick is the first of six the Giants are scheduled to have on the final day of the draft.

Let us know by grading the pick in the poll below. Giants swap one big contract for another"The New York Giants are trading defensive end Olivier Vernon to the Cleveland Browns. The return is offensive guard Kevin Zeitler.The Giants and Browns also traded mid-round picks, the Giants sending Cleveland pick No. 132, a fourth-rounder Rhett Ellison Color Rush Jersey , in exchange for pick No. 155, a fifth-rounder.The Giants confirmed the trade just minutes after the initial reports on Twitter.Just Thursday, there had been reports that the Giants were “leaning towards keeping” Vernon. There had also been national reports that the Browns were looking to move Zeitler, who turned 30 today.The trade, basically, amounts to a swap of salaries.Vernon was entering the fourth year of a five-year, $85 million contract. He carries a cap hit of $19.5 million in 2019. Zeitler is in the third year of a five-year, $60 million contract he signed with the Browns. He carries what appears to be a $12.4 million cap hit in 2019, per Over The Cap’s contract database.Jason Fitzgerald of Over The Cap reports that once all the contract permutations are factored in, the Giants end up saving about $1.5 million. Fitzgerald explained the cap ramifications this way:“Zeitler’s salary and cap will be $10M. All the prorated stays with the Browns. they move Vernons $19.5M cap off the books but add on $8M of dead money. So $19.5-10-8= $1.5M.”Zeitler is a seven-year veteran who has started 103 of the 104 NFL games he has played in Olivier Vernon Color Rush Jersey , all at right guard. His acquisition leaves the status of free agent guard Jamon Brown, who played eight games for the Giants after being claimed on waivers last season, unclear.Brown does have limited right tackle experience and could stick with the Giants as a swing man if he can’t find any starting offers. Big Blue View will continue trying to find out more as to whether or not the Giants have any plans to retain Brown.With Vernon gone, the Giants will likely be looking in free agency and the draft for help on the edge. The Giants also moved on from veteran edge rusher Connor Barwin this offseason. The draft is filled with talented edge players. On the free agent market, a player like Trey Flowers of the New England Patriots could be in play. There have also been reports that the Kansas City Chiefs would be willing to trade Dee Ford after using the franchise tag on him.
