The New York Giants could select a cornerback with their first-round selection at pick No. 25. Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez, Illinois’ Devon Witherspoon, Penn State’s Joey Porter Jr., and Maryland’s Deonte Banks will likely be gone by the Giants’ selection, leaving GM Joe Schoen in an interesting position.
Sure, the Giants could forgo selecting a cornerback and trust the development of Cor’Dale Flott alongside Adoree’ Jackson, who has a void year in his contract after the 2023 season. Even if Flott turns out to be a home run, there's little long-term depth at cornerback for the Giants, and Wink Martindale’s system is predicated on sticky-man coverage corners.
