Should Giants claim CB just waived by Minnesota Vikings?

It is no secret that cornerback is one of the positions the New York Giants will need to try and upgrade once the 2024 season ends. Could the Giants get a head start on that endeavor by claiming a young cornerback who was just waived by the Minnesota Vikings?

The Vikings have waived third-year cornerback Akayleb Evans, a 2022 fourth-round pick who started 15 games for the Vikings in 2023.

After playing 855 defensive snaps (85%) for Minnesota last season, the 6-foot-2, 198-pound 25-year-old had only been on the field for three defensive snaps this season.
