Giants have youth and upside at cornerback

Over each of the last three offseasons, the New York Giants have lost a veteran cornerback who played around 800 snaps in the previous season. After the 2021 season, it was James Bradberry; the following year was Fabian Moreau, and this offseason was Adoree’ Jackson, who remains a free agent.

GM Joe Schoen has attempted to supplement the roster with young cornerbacks. The 2023 first-round pick, Deonte Banks, had a respectable season as a rookie, but the 2022 third-round pick, Cor’Dale Flott, remains a question mark. The Giants also spent a third-round pick in this past draft on Dru Phillips, who, as Schoen stated after the draft, will likely compete as the nickel corner.
