5 Xavier McKinney replacements the Giants can target in the NFL Draft

1. Georgia safety Javon Bullard

Georgia safety Javon Bullard makes the most sense for the Giants and would be the perfect fit in New York. The 5-10 defensive back is exceptionally athletic, versatile and plays bigger than his size. He can play deep and physically in the slot and would be a valuable asset to any team's secondary unit in 2024. Bullard is the second-best safety in this class behind Minnesota's Tyler Nubin, and he's expected to be a mid-to-late first-round or early second-round pick.

Bullard was a member of both National Championships that Georgia recently won as a first and second-year student and was the Defensive MVP in 2022 over TCU, recording two interceptions and a fumble recovery before leaving the game with a shoulder injury.

This past season as a junior was his first year starting at safety after starting at nickelback the previous season. Bullard had 55 tackles, a tackle for a loss, two interceptions, five passes defended, and finished with Second-Team All-SEC honors. He'd be a fantastic addition for Brian Daboll and Co.
