Giants news, 4/15: Draft do-over, wide receivers, more headlines

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

A Draft Do-over for Every NFL Team over the Past 5 Years - Bleacher Report

New York Giants: CB Deandre Baker, No. 30 Overall 2019

The New York Giants gave up fourth- and fifth-round selections in 2019 to jump up seven spots and select Deandre Baker No. 30. He hardly justified that deal with his play as a rookie—starting 15 of 16 games while recording 61 tackles, eight passes defensed and no interceptions.

After Baker was arrested and charged with four counts of robbery with a firearm in May 2020, the Giants cut ties with him before the season began. However, all charges were later dropped. Regardless, New York basically gave up three picks to acquire a player who lasted just one season on the roster.

The Chiefs picked him up a few months later, and he appeared in just two games before breaking his femur.

Despite the injury, Baker re-signed with Kansas City.
