2. CB Cor’Dale Flott

Similar to Belton, Cor’Dale Flott showed some interesting flashes during his rookie season that has fans excited about his future. While he was nowhere near perfect, Flott was solid enough to where he likely earned his spot as the CB3 of the Giants defense heading into next season.

Flott was relatively solid for a third-round corner, allowing 16 receptions on 24 targets for 178 yards and one touchdown, while racking up 25 combined tackles. While Flott only played in 193 total coverage snaps, it’s worth noting that he never allowed more than three receptions in a game while simultaneously never allowing a catch for more than 25 yards.

However, where Flott really struggles is consistency and abilities in the run game. Flott did show some solid instincts in the run game, unlike Belton, however, Flott’s small frame makes it very difficult for him to complete tackles.

While Flott may be 6’1, he is just 175 pounds and it shows on film, so it would be nice to see Flott add some muscle during the offseason as long as it doesn’t sacrifice his speed.
