NY Giants: 2020 NFL draft first round targets
1. Jeff Okudah CB OSU
Starting off with who I’d consider the best of the bunch, THE cornerback out of THE Ohio State University has all of the tools to be a star in the NFL. Jeff Okudah started the season in the mix for CB1 but quickly ran away with the title. Whether it be in man coverage or zone, Okudah has the ability to lock down his assignment.
Jeff Okudah (@jokudah) is such a special corner. Watch how he reads and squeezes Ronnie Bell’s route in the first play, then dislodge the ball from Nico Collins on the second play. Continues to prove why he’s one of the best in CFB.#WNSFilm pic.twitter.com/PM3r2SNQNh

While there is an abundance of youth in this NY Giants secondary, Okudah would instantly be the best cover man of the bunch. The secondary would likely then become Okudah and DeAndre Baker on the outside with Sam Beal, Corey Ballentine, Grant Haley, or someone not yet on the team in the slot backed by Jabrill Peppers and Julian Love as the safeties.
There would obviously be miscues but the potential of that group is definitely enticing.
