Cornerback

New York’s secondary was one of the worst in football last season due in large part to underwhelming play from its cornerbacks. That should not be the case in 2020 following an offseason spent upgrading the position.

Brian Poole, the lone bright spot at the position in 2019, is back for another year lining up in the slot. Pierre Desir joined the Jets and is positioned to take over as the team’s No. 1 corner — a role he seems suited for in Gregg Williams’ defense. A draft-day trade also netted New York Quincy Wilson, who has the potential to get back on track playing in a defense that plays to his strengths.

Again, Douglas did not make any major moves to upgrade at cornerback, but he accomplished the feat. More importantly, he did not overpay for Byron Jones or James Bradberry, which could be his biggest win of the offseason.
