NFL Trade Rumors
ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid says that while the Giants need to focus on finding their next franchise quarterback, they could also benefit from upgrading their cornerback position in the draft, even if that means going after CB Travis Hunter.
“A lot of the cornerbacks who had a lot of the preseason hype were hurt, so you just don’t know,” Reid told Ryan Dunleavy of The New York Post. “The one who has really risen up the board is Azareye’h Thomas from Florida State. Thomas has the potential [to develop into a No. 1 cornerback] because he is an athletic freak and, I think, the best press-man corner. He’s only 20 years old, so he has youth working on his side.”
“When you limit Hunter to one side of the ball, you are taking away from who he is,” Reid added on Hunter. “In my opinion, he’s a better cornerback, but a player so rare like this, just get him in your building, let him develop, and let it play itself out to see which side of the ball he is most comfortable with. If his body is able to withstand playing on both sides of the ball, you let him do that. Your job as a coach or a GM is to put the best 11 players on the field, and you can make a strong argument that he’s included in the best 11 on both sides of the ball.”
