The next big step in the road to the 2020 NFL Draft is almost upon us. The best prospects from around the country will be gathering in Lucas Oil Stadium to interview, test, and work out for the New York Giants and the 31 other teams.

While many mock drafts have the Giants selecting an offensive tackle with the fourth overall pick, it would not be surprising to see them invest heavily in the defensive side of the ball. After all, their defense has been a disappointment and a liability for three years running. So with that in mind, the Chris and Joe Show decided to name some defenders who will be worth watching.
