As part of The Post’s 2022 NFL Draft preview, we study what the Giants might do at every single place. These days linebackers Next up: cornerbacks.
So considerably of the analysis of this posture rests with the health and fitness of Blake Martinez. He carried out as marketed in 2020 in his Giants debut, with a team-substantial 151 tackles manning the center.
He tore his ACL in 7 days 3 final year and should be all set to roll sometime this summer time. If he displays no bodily limitations, he figures to anchor new coordinator Wink Martindale’s protection. In any other case, there will be thoughts galore.
Tae Crowder commenced all 17 game titles in 2021 and gathered 130 tackles — he is far more than his “Mr. Irrelevant’’ draft status, but most likely a notch under attractive NFL starter product. Quincy Roche (2.5 sacks) flashed a bit late very last year. There is not significantly in the way of depth.
Devin Lloyd (Utah) is unquestionably worthy of a to start with-spherical choose and Nakobe Dean (Ga), despite the fact that smallish, is as very well.
But at No. 5 or No. 7? That would be a stretch. Far more probable, the Giants will appear to fortify this place on the second day of the draft. Leo Chenal was a pressure in 2021 for Wisconsin’s best-rated protection — 115 full tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, eight sacks, two pressured fumbles — and then examined off the charts at the mix.
To get him, the Giants may possibly have to make the call in the second round (No. 36 overall) due to the fact he appears to be to be rising on draft boards. Christian Harris (Alabama) had a substantial efficiency in the nationwide championship recreation reduction to Georgia — a few sacks, 4 tackles for reduction — and could be an choice.
