Just wanted to be the first one to say “upgrade over Worley”

[boney]

Some pretty fugging elite company he is in.

[RumHam]

Still better than worley

This looks like a strong move! Especially considering where we’re at in FA and our failed attempt with Breeland. This guy has a nice sample size and could turn into a great CB here. We’re gonna have a better d-line than the Giants did.

I‘m excited to see how the CB spot pans out.

Also excited to see how Seymour improves with a full offseason here. Might have three solid starters out of this even before the draft.

Love this.

upgrade over worley on the cheap. 

[Shocker]

Cockrell > Breeland 

[RumHam]

Guy who predicted signing is one for one. Saca is 0/500

I like this move too, has had 3 very solid years the last 3 years. I can't wait to watch him behind a top 5 front 7, which he's never had.

52. Ross Cockrell, New York Giants

Position Value: 10/10
Overall Grade: 64/100

After acquiring Cockrell from Pittsburgh in exchange for a conditional pick in the 2018 draft, the Giants relied on the cornerback more than anticipated. But they were able to get their money's worth. Cockrell is an ideal third boundary corner despite his short arms (29 ⅞") and lack of great deep speed.

He has good timing when defending the ball and better instincts than some starters across the league. His physical limitations can affect the running game, but his effort and ability to play in zone and man with safety help make him an underrated corner.

Seems to be a very good signing with some upside.
