Given a choice, which cornerback should the Giants draft

Joe Schoen and the New York Giants continue to tweak their roster in the front office’s third season at the helm. Schoen and company made a big splash at the start of the new league year with the acquisition of Brian Burns, and they signed several other pieces that give the team flexibility heading into the 2024 NFL Draft.

Still, one position group is bereft of proven talent, and that is cornerback. Schoen has spent two somewhat premium picks in Deonte Banks (24th, 2023) and Cor’Dale Flott (81st, 2022) over the...

Do the Giants have a glaring issue in the secondary?

Do the Giants have a glaring issue in the secondary?

The New York Giants still have some holes to fill on their roster but none may be more glaring than in the secondary.

This offseason, they lost their most reliable player — safety Xavier McKinney — to the Green Bay Packers in free agency. It was the second year in a row they let a solid safety walk. Last spring, Julian Love signed on with the Seattle Seahawks.

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell believes the Giants, while they may have made some splashes in other areas, are now devoid of top talent in their secondary.

Giants’ brass chooses Washington over North Carolina in dueling pro days

Most of the Giants’ decision makers and offensive staff are instead in Seattle Washington for the Huskies’ pro day. Giants’ GM Joe Schoen, assistant GM Brandon Brown, head coach Brian Daboll, director of player personnel Tim McDonnell, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, QB coach Shae Tierney, and wide receivers coach Mike Groh were all on hand for the Washington Pro Day, mainly to watch QB Michael Penix, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network.

Giants' Brian Burns named one of 'riskiest contracts' of 2024

Giants' Brian Burns named one of 'riskiest contracts' of 2024

The New York Giants made a big splash early in free agency, acquiring edge rusher Brian Burns from the Carolina Panthers.

The trade was contingent on the Giants signing Burns to a new contract, which they did, agreeing to a five-year, $141 million deal.

That’s a whole lot of money for the 25-year-old Burns, which has some skeptical of the trade. Among them is Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report, who named the Burns deal among the NFL’s eight riskiest contracts of 2024.

*Burns has already been named to a pair of Pro Bowls and logged 12.5 sacks as recently...

Giants had dinner with Duke's Graham Barton, Jacob Monk

The New York Giants have been busy scouting and working out quarterbacks on the pro day circuit, which has routinely stolen the headlines. But quarterbacks haven’t been their only focus.

General manager Joe Schoen & Co. have also done a significant amount of work on wide receivers and offensive linemen.

After watching Notre Dame’s Joe Alt earlier this week, the Giants shifted their attention to Duke University, which held their pro day on Thursday.

Long-time NFL draft expert Tony Pauline reports that Giants offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo was on hand to watch Graham Barton and Jacob Monk, [whom he...

Report: Giants will host QB Drake Maye for workout

The New York Giants haven’t made a secret of looking at top quarterback prospects, and this week is no different.

Head coach Brian Daboll attended the University of Washington pro day to see Michael Penix. The Giants also had a presence at the University of North Carolina, but the perception is that Penix has been prioritized over UNC QB Drake Maye.

True to that notion, the Giants will reportedly hold a workout and visit with Maye by the end of the week.

Giants' Brian Daboll scouted Michael Penix Jr. at UW pro day

The New York Giants have been linked to a number of quarterback prospects ahead of the 2024 NFL draft and the plot thickened earlier this week when Giants co-owner John Mara said he would support the decision to draft a QB.

With pro days now in full swing, the Giants have been actively scouting the draft’s top quarterbacks.

Coincidentally, both the University of North Carolina and the University of Washington’s pro days were on Thursday.

While there were representatives present for the Giants at the UNC pro day, head coach Brian Daboll attended the Washington pro day likely to see...

The Giants lightly attend the North Carolina pro day, but have a heavy presence for Washington’s

We’ve been following the New York Giants as they’ve pinballed around the country on the pro day circuit.

There were two big pro days being held on Thursday: North Carolina and Washington Huskies.

It was widely expected that Giants would be heavily represented at the North Carolina Pro Day. After all, the Giants have scouted UNC heavily over the last two seasons and are believed to be very interested in quarterback Drake Maye.

Interestingly, most of the Giants’ decision makers and offensive staff are...

2024 NFL Draft prospect profile: Mike Sainristil, CB, Michigan

2024 NFL Draft prospect profile: Mike Sainristil, CB, Michigan

What are the Giants looking for in a cornerback?

Michigan cornerback Mike Sainristil doesn’t have many of the traits that normally get evaluators excited.

He’s short (5-foot-9), has okay (4.47) speed, and poor length (30 7/8 inch arms). However, any time you have a cornerback with six interceptions and two touchdowns in a single season, he warrants a closer look.

Sainristil started his career at Michigan as a receiver before transitioning to the defensive side of the ball full time in 2022. That explains his ball skills and why he’s just so good at the catch point. It also suggests...

ESPN is reportedly pursuing Jason Kelce to replace Robert Griffin III for Monday Night Football coverage

ESPN is reportedly pursuing Jason Kelce to replace Robert Griffin III for Monday Night Football coverage

When Jason Kelce announced his retirement from the NFL in early March, the longtime Eagles center knew he’d have no shortage of opportunities in his post-playing career. And we could be nearing an answer on what his life after football will look like.

According to a report from The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand, ESPN is pursuing Kelce to serve as an analyst for Monday Night Countdown — the Monday Night Football pregame show. Marchand added that ESPN would likely have Kelce replace Robert Griffin III on the pregame show as ESPN execs think Griffin has “leveled off” since being hired by...
