With their last of two seventh-round selections in the 2025 NFL Draft, No. 246 overall, the New York Giants on Saturday selected Oklahoma State cornerback Korie Black.
That marks the Giants’ final selection of the draft.
Scouting reports
ESPN:
Black is a three-year starter who picked off three passes and recorded 12 passes defended in 2024. He wasn’t invited to the combine, but he ran well at his pro day. He can turn and run with receivers and can recover when he gets caught out of phase. Black can reach in to break up passes without having to go through receivers, and he doesn’t have to be in perfect position to make a play on the ball. He doesn’t catch everything he gets his hands on, but he can extend his arms and pluck.
Dane Brugler (The Athletic):
A good-sized athlete, Black is a rangy cover man who can work underneath routes in zone or squeeze receivers outside in man-to-man. Nuanced route runners cross him up, though, and he lacks the elite recovery agility to easily get back on track. Overall, Black needs to improve his eye discipline to better stay in phase, but NFL teams will like his physical attitude and length to match up in coverage or as a tackler.
