Kansas City Chiefs trade targets: 6 cornerbacks worth considering
Janoris Jenkins
The New York Giants are in a similar position to that of the Miami Dolphins. They are clearly a rebuilding team, but I wouldn’t consider them to be in tank mode. They’re just weak on the depth chart in virtually every way, so why would they trade a starting corner of Janoris Jenkins caliber?
Jenkins is actually getting up there in age when it comes to corners, at 31 years old. Plus, he’s not really a cornerstone of theirs anymore as they drafted three cornerbacks in the 2019 NFL Draft. Given their a team in rebuild mode and they have young talent they want to develop, it’s likely the Chiefs could get him for a pretty low draft pick.
The Giants are a unique situation as well, because they just spent a high draft pick on Daniel Jones and want to provide him with weapons to throw to. Corey Coleman has a torn ACL, Sterling Shepherd is injury prone, and Golden Tate is currently suspended for performance enhancing drugs.
All this does is give the Chiefs flexibility here. They can either offer picks, of which the Giants could use in next years draft to draft more targets for Jones, who they hope will be throwing the ball for them for a long time.
Or, if the Chiefs were desperate enough and so inclined, they could offer one of their receivers. The main name that came up as a trade proposition was Demarcus Robinson. Either way, this would be a high leverage scenario for the Chiefs and that is always a good place to be.
