Giants' Draft: All-Pro Potential with Caleb Downs

It's March 17th for the NFL.

Let's get into it.

The New York Giants made some smart, free agency moves this off-season after bringing in

John Harball as head coach.

They added players like Isaiah Leicley, Tremaine Edmonds, and Patrick Ricard to bolster the roster.

Now with the fifth overall pick in the NFL draft, talk is heating up about selecting safety

Caleb Downs as the best player available.

The analysts like Joel Klett argue the Giants should skip drafting for specific needs and

grab a lead talent instead.

Downs stands out in this top heavy draft class, even though the team could eye running

back Jeremiah Love or why receiver Carnell Tate to help the offense.

Klett praised Downs as a perfect fit for Harball's defensive style, similar to the strong

safety play in Baltimore, with guys like Kyle Hamilton.

He believes Downs could become an all pro under that system.

Downs started as a five star recruit, ranked eighth in his class.

He led the SEC in solo tackles with 70 as a freshman at Alabama, then transferred to

Ohio State for two seasons, earning two all-American honors, and the 2025 Big Ten defensive

player of the year award, drafting a safety fifth overall is rare, but Klett says teams

win by picking the best athletes regardless of position.

The Giants might still consider other defenders like Arville Reese or Sonny Styles if they

slip.
