He has a large contract. AYV of around 15 million, but he's under it until 2024 and has an out with a dead cap hit after 2022 of 2.9 million. Pair him with Bradberry and you have an exceptional CB Tandem. Would you do it for a 3rd? I know we have limited draft capital right now, but he's a proven player. He's still young (27) and knows Graham's D. And our history of 3rd rounders, you could say is cursed.

Never ubderstood this line of thinking, since when are draft picks better than established players? it is about adding talent

our 3rd round pick might be the 1st or 2nd pick in the 3rd round. We should be trading players for assets not trading draft capital for players.

This is my exact thought. Not often you get difference makers that are young and productive in FA. The draft is a crapshoot.
In general, Giants are 1-6. They shouldn't be giving up significant draft capital and taking on salary. That's going to make it really difficult to rebuild.
What corner with his skillset is going to be available this year on the open market? I'm not seeing a comparable talent.

as the OP mentioned he has a large contract. if you want a highly paid CB, just go sign one this year and keep your pick

Patrick Peterson - albeit he's older (31) and will probably be tagged.

Corners after 30 generally drop off fairly quickly. He will want a contract on the same level, if not more.
There is no sure bet in the draft....only what we see out on the NFL field.
Make the deal!
Could they? Yeah, but they need to understand how they're going to acquire some missing key talent.

since you can just sign a free agent CB in the offseason if you really want and keep your 3rd round pick which (especially an early 3rd) which should be a starter in the NFL if you are drafting correctly.

You’re giving up 5 or 6 years in age. If the Giants were a team on the cusp of success, it would be one thing. But they’re a long way off. Give me the 65th pick.
