Schneier: Giants were in on the DB Market

Also: From what I’ve heard the #Giants were in the DB market this free agency but felt priced out in spots.
This is a 🔥class for CBs & there’s some safety depth
My expectation is they leave Day 2 with at least one, likely two DBs.
It’s THE way to boost a Wink Martindale system.

------------------------------------


Wonder if they are still in but waiting for the 2nd or 3rd wave where the prices will come down.

Marcus Peters, who is going into his age-30 season, was up and down during his return from a summer 2021 ACL tear. A former Wink disciple so he knows him well.

Guys usually get much better in year 2 of their return from an ACL. Full explosion and quick twitch often come back year 2 though they can play the following year.

Would love Peters on a cheapish deal here. Rock Ya Sin wouldn't be terrible either. Either would be a HUGE upgrade for Wink vs what we put out there last year at the 2nd CB spot.

Giants have a ton of DBs

In Wink's system, a DB has to be able to time the blitz. McHugh is very good at that. Pinnock is good. Holmes is fairly good.

Of course, you love to have a good cover guy like Adoree. But the skill set for DBs in Wink's system is different from the norm.

Don’t care whose system it is the situation at corner is bad/unknown after Adoree who is playing on an expiring contract. My money is in them picking a CB over a WR at 25 if the values are close to even.

The hope is as the frenzy slows down we can get one of Rock Ya or Marcus Peters on a cheapish contract. Either would be a monster upgrade to the #2 CB from last year. They still probably go high on CB since this is the last year of Adoree's contract and Peters or Rock Ya are probably not guys they would consider long term core pieces moving forward.
I would like to see them sign one of them

More DB's the better.

Extend adoree

Sign rock or peters and draft a corner on day two…. That’s adds plenty of talent to back end

Yup. I've felt that way for quite a while.

The cover skill is the priority, they can coach DB’s up to be better blitzers.

For Winks D at the boundaries the M2M cover skill is extremely high priority.
