A potential need at cornerback could lead to the New York Giants using one of their top-50 picks to address the position, especially if James Bradberry is dealt

With heavy speculation regarding what the New York Giants will do with veteran cornerback James Bradberry, there is a chance that they may have a need at the position soon. If so, the draft could be the perfect time to address the need for a cornerback.

While the Giants may choose to use their first-round picks on the offensive and defensive line, which is arguably their two biggest needs, a day-two pick could be used to add a rookie cornerback.

This possibility, paired alongside the depth in the cornerback class, could lead several talented corners on the board in round two, or even beyond. The New York Giants hold the 36th pick and five total picks within the first 81 selections.

With a potential Bradberry trade still on the horizon, the New York Giants could look to add even more picks within the first 100 selections of the draft.

But which rookie corners could the New York Giants potentially add to their defense during the 2022 NFL Draft?
