Like several other positions, New York Giants need help at cornerback

The New York Giants need reinforcements at cornerback, specifically on the outside. Adoree’ Jackson was arguably the best outside Giants’ cornerback in 2014, and he was added to the roster on Sept. 1 — not good!

GM Joe Schoen traded up in the 2023 NFL Draft to select Deonte Banks, who regressed significantly in 2024. Schoen’s third-round pick in 2022, Cor’Dale Flott, was uninspiring but not necessarily a liability. The entire room was uplifted by Dru Phillips, the Giants’ third-round pick in 2024. Like many positions on the roster, New York needs competent talent and depth to fortify this position group.
