The Giants can add speed, ball skills, and long-term upside by drafting a corner in 2026, but they can also spend real draft capital and still come away without a true boundary answer. If Joe Schoen goes corner early, which prospect actually fixes CB1 instead of just adding another name to an unsettled room?

In this episode, Drew and Rob count down their top 10 cornerbacks in the 2026 NFL Draft and keep the conversation locked on the question that matters most for the Giants: who can really hold up outside and become the long-term boundary answer? They work through the tradeoff between upside and reliability, debate whether it is smarter to chase traits or play it safer at one of the hardest positions to project, and stack the class based on fit as much as talent. Mansoor Delane finishes at the top because he feels like the safest bet to become a real outside starter, while Jermod McCoy brings top-tier talent but major medical risk after the ACL injury. Colton Hood gets pushed near the top because of his physical press-man style and upside, even with the smaller sample size. D’Angelo Ponds creates one of the biggest debates in the episode because the playmaking is real, but the size and projection questions are just as real. The guys also break down Davison Igbinosun, Treydan Stukes, Keionte Scott, Keith Abney II, Chris Johnson, and Brandon Cisse, with a strong focus on which prospects are true perimeter corners versus slot or flex pieces. The result is less a generic top-10 list and more a Giants-specific argument about how to avoid spending premium draft capital on a corner who still does not solve the real problem.

Before the CB countdown, the show opens with quick Giants news, including the Brandon Allen signing, local pro day names, reported interest in Georgia Tech guard Kalen Rutledge, and a visit with veteran defensive tackle D.J. Reeder. The episode also closes with the Goofballs accidentally locking themselves into a future combine challenge after the audience hit the Super Chat number live.

This is the audio from yesterday morning’s live show.
