It feels like just yesterday the New York Giants traded up one whole spot with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2023 Draft to select Maryland cornerback Deonte Banks. General manager Joe Schoen moved the 25th pick, 160th pick, and 240th pick to northern Florida for the 24th-overall selection, all in an effort to shore up a secondary that needed all the help it could get.
Well, you know what they say about drafting for need over best available player: don’t do it. So, yeah — two-plus seasons later, and things haven’t worked out the way either party would’ve liked.
