Four of the top 12 guys projected on the big board are corners.

0:04.2

Yes.

0:04.4

And you mentioned it. The Giants could use one. The Jets could use one. So keep an eye on a few of those names as we enter the second round tonight. Because the Giants and Jets both have a pick and we'll see how they use it. Yeah. No, I think there's a kid, the kid from Tennessee, Jermann McCoy. He is projected as the number one available player according to ESPN's draft board.

But he is coming off an ACL injury. Did not play in 2025. But he's a bigger corner and he's physical. He's a great athlete. He was a state champion in the long jump and triple jump. Jump over 50 feet in a triple jump. And I know that's hard because I triple jumped in high school and it's just hard. Right. So you know he's a great athlete. It's just a matter of what's the trust level for a kid that was injured ACL in college. That is why he fell out of the first round. And this is very reminiscent of last year, year ago, Will Johnson was thought to be the best corner in the draft. Injury concerns knee fell out, ended up being the best rookie corner in the draft and went

round two to Arizona.

The thing is, and this is a shame, because the ACL is probably the most recoverable major injury

1:07.1

that's out there now because the technology to fix it has become so good and the process

1:13.3

is so i don't know worked on and and reliable that it shouldn't be a determining factor on somebody's

1:22.3

future success unless there is complications with the ACL right like with malic neighbors

1:27.2

that we're still kind of worrying about because the meniscus tear along with the ACL. Like with Malik neighbors that we're still kind of worrying about because of the meniscus tear along with the ACL. But, yeah, I think it's a shame. It's unfortunate because he had to... He was going to be in the top 15 pick. Definitely. And then his ACL from two years ago heard him. You mentioned it earlier. If I had to project it, it's easier to project the Giants than the

1:45.3

Jets just based on where they're picking in the second round. I think Denzel Boston's the guy they end up with. Big receiver that also adds to what Harbaugh likes. He's physical in the run game in terms of a block or two. And one of those guys that just goes up and gets it in the Red Zone.

1:56.9

Is that David Boston's kid?

1:58.7

That I don't know.

1:59.8

Oh my God, really?

2:01.4

I mean, if it is.

2:02.3

I feel old.

2:03.1

I mean, you. Oh my God, really?

2:01.4

I mean, if it is.

2:02.3

I feel old. I mean, you shouldn't because my kid is, he already graduated college. I already know you're old. Yeah, true. I was thinking of another Boston. But David Boston was, he was my error, right? I think so. Yeah, it was in like the mid-2000s. Let me double check that because now I'm like questioning myself.

2:18.3

He was born in Boise, Idaho.

2:19.7

I don't think he is.

2:20.8

Beast don't where he was born. I think so. Yeah, it was in like the mid-2000s. Let me double check that because now I'm like questioning myself.
