Improving Giants’ cornerback position will be no easy task
NY Post
If finding a franchise quarterback is the Giants’ No. 1 offseason priority, upgrading at cornerback should be considered No. 1A.
What makes the medical evaluation component of next week’s NFL Combine so crucial for the Giants is that the prospects atop the 2025 cornerback draft class could be mistaken for the patients in an orthopedist’s waiting room.
After general manager Joe Schoen emphasized clean injury histories and a track record of availability in roster building last offseason, he isn’t going to like what he sees if he plans to draft a long-term running mate for Deonte Banks and slot corner Dru Phillips with his second-round pick (or on a trade up from No. 34 into the back of the first round).
Though Colorado cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter is a clean prospect with unanimous top-four projections, Michigan’s Will Johnson missed the final seven games of last season with turf toe.
Johnson — who widely is expected to be a top-12 pick, anyway — previously had knee surgery that sidelined him for the first three games in 2023.
