Big Blue View mailbag: Nick McCloud’s role, 2025 NFL Draft, more questions

Ronald Buchheim asks: Why do you think the Giants and fans seem to have little faith In McCloud as CB2? PFF graded him 75 overall and 81 in coverage, fourth-best on defense last year, with 319 snaps. Was that an inadequate sample size? Or could PFF be so inaccurate? Adoree’ Jackson’s numbers were far worse.

Ed says: Ronald, I say this all the time — please don’t put your blind faith in Pro Football Focus to tell you who is and is not a good player. The PFF grades are a tool to be used as part of the conversation.
