ek last week. Time to get back on track…Home team shown in bold. Odds taken from Odds Shark.Cincinnati (-1) vs. ClevelandNow with Cincinnati Landon Collins Color Rush Jersey , Hue Jackson gets his revenge (kind of) and the Bengals take it at home.<em>Pick: Cincinnati (-1)</em>Jacksonville (-3) vs. BuffaloThe Jaguars defense should feast in this one, so much so that their Blake Bortles-led offense won’t be forced to do much.<em>Pick: Jacksonville (-3)</em>Philadelphia (-5) vs. New York GiantsThe Eagles still have a legitimate path to an NFC East title.. although that says more about the NFC East than it does the Eagles.<em>Pick: Philadelphia (-5)</em>New England (-10.5) vs. New York Jets The Jets lose by 31 to the Bills, have to sit on it through their bye week, and then have to play….. the Patriots. Fun fact: Josh McCown vs. Tom Brady will be the second-oldest QB matchup in NFL history.<em>Pick: New England (-10.5)</em>Baltimore (-11.5) vs. OaklandThe Ravens aren’t built to blow teams out… they win here, but the Raiders will keep it close.<em>Pick: Oakland (+11.5)</em>Tampa Bay (-1.5) vs. San FranciscoExpect a lot of points in this one. Both Jameis Winston and Nick Mullens should put up solid performances.<em>Pick: Tampa Bay (-1.5)</em>Carolina (-3) vs. SeattleThe Seahawks saved their season with a big win on Thursday Night Football vs. the Packers, but neither team looked very good in that one. The Panthers, losers of two straight, are desperate and at home.

After a year of Curtis Riley and the departure of Landon Collins, it was widely believed that they almost had to draft a safety highly. However, the Giants could believe that they have solved their ills and solidified the back end of their defense with the additions of veteran Antoine Bethea and Jabrill Peppers. However, Bethea will be 35 when the season opens and Peppers will only be under the Giants’ control for the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Mississippi State safety Johnathan Abram has similar measurables to Bethea and plays a similar role to Peppers. Could he be on the Giants’ radar?MeasurablesProsGood size with a versatile frame. Able to hang in man coverage on most running backs and tight ends.Frequently used as a slot defender. Capable blitzer.Very high motor. Rangy and relentless in pursuit. Quick to fire downhill in run support.Good, reliable tackler.ConsDoesn’t show the same range in coverage as he does in pursuit.Can be over-eager on play-fakes. Doesn’t appear to be a special athlete.Might be limited to playing near the line of scrimmage. Prospect VideoWhat They’re Saying - Kyle Crabbs (The Draft Network - Scouting Report) Does He Fit The Giants?As a box safety with the upside to cover most tight ends and running backs, as well as play as a pseudo-linebacker in nickel sets Phil McConkey Color Rush Jersey , Abram does fit in the Giants defense. However, that role is already filled by Jabrill Peppers, with Michael Thomas already behind him on the depth chart.It can be argued whether or not Abram or Peppers is better in that role on the field, but after the Giants dealt Odell Beckham Jr. to acquire Peppers, they are unlikely to draft another similar player. Abram would be an interesting pick if Peppers weren’t already on the roster. His versatility near the line of scrimmage and impressive physicality are both reminiscent of Landon Collins and he would have slotted in nicely after the Giants let Collins leave in free agency. The bigger question is whether or not the GIants would have invested the pick required to secure Abram, which would have likely been their second round pick. Dave Gettleman has never drafted the safety position highly, and as primarily a box safety, Abram’s value might be lower than a player who is able to man the center field as a free safety. However, that is likely a moot point and it would be a surprise if the Giants selected Abram.
