The Giants traded multiple picks to the Jaguars to move up one spot to No. 24 in the 2023 NFL Draft. New York selected former Maryland CB Deonte Banks. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Jacksonville received picks No. 25, 160 and 240 as part of the trade. However, the Bills traded picks Nos. 27 and 130 to the Jaguars for No. 25, when Buffalo selected Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid.
  • With pick No. 27 Jacksonville selected Oklahoma OT Anton Harrison.
  • Banks, the New York selection, was an honorable mention All-Big Ten player in 2022.

What Banks brings to New York

A four-year starter at Maryland, Banks was an outside cornerback in defensive coordinator Brian Williams’ balanced scheme. After missing almost all of the 2021 season with a shoulder injury, he got better as the 2022 season went on, including a strong performance versus Ohio State (and Marvin Harrison Jr.) that showed the strengths and weaknesses of his game. A cover-and-clobber corner, Banks has the competitive makeup and smooth hips/feet to become a receiver’s shadow in man coverage. His read-react ability to sort routes from zone needs work to create more breakup opportunities, but he is an above average high-to-low tackler. Overall, Banks needs to add more discipline to his play style, but when he trusts his technique, he has the size, athleticism and physicality of an NFL starter. He projects best as an outside, press-man cornerback with upside in zone looks. — Dane Brugler

Why Harrison could become a long-term starter

A two-year starter at Oklahoma, Harrison lined up at left tackle in offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby’s up-tempo, RPO-based scheme. He became a starter as a sophomore and developed into one of the better left tackles at the college level. Harrison not only displays the slide quickness to mirror speed, but he also times his body movements appropriately based on the pass rusher he is facing. While he has the active hands to divert pass rushers, his technique and strength must improve to consistently control his target. Overall, Harrison isn’t a simple evaluation because of the Sooners’ scheme, but he has the movement patterns of a much smaller player and generally recovers well thanks to his athleticism and length. Although there will be a learning curve, he has the tools to become a long-term NFL starter. — Brugler
