What skillset will the Giants look for at cornerback if they add one in the draft?

Michael Eisen:
No. 1 is coverage skills, the ability to cover the fastest, quickest and most elusive receivers on a variety of routes. Steve Spagnuolo likes to bring the pressure against opposing quarterbacks, which often leaves his cornerbacks covering some of the NFL’s very best receivers one-on-one.
Those corners need the speed and smarts to stay with those wideouts and the strength and toughness to harass them in press coverage.
