NextImg:What Jets, Giants might do at cornerback in 2023 NFL Draft

The 2023 NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday, April 27 in Kansas City.

The Jets will head to town with six picks, including No. 13 overall, while the Giants have 10, beginning with No. 25.

The Post’s Paul Schwartz and Brian Costello look at what the two teams may do with their selections when it comes to cornerback:

Finding a starter to pair with Adoree’ Jackson can be viewed as a top priority.

After Jackson, who is entering the final year of his contract, there are a bunch of young possibilities on the roster, led by Cor’Dale Flott, oft-injured Aaron Robinson and Nick McCloud.

Armani Oruwariye, with 36 NFL starts (and nine interceptions) in four years with the Lions was signed in free agency.

Help is needed.

If Joey Porter Jr. (Penn State) is on the board at No. 25, the Giants would have to be enticed.

Porter has great size at 6-foot-2 and 198 pounds, can play press corner and has a great pedigree — his father is the former NFL linebacker of the same name.

Another interesting option is Emmanuel Forbes, who is long (6-1) and lean (166 pounds) and a skilled ballhawk, with 14 career interceptions at Mississippi State, including six returned for touchdowns.

For the first time in years, this is not a position of need for the Jets.

After drafting Sauce Gardner and signing D.J. Reed last year, cornerback is a strength.

Michael Carter II has also proven himself as a reliable slot corner.

If anything, the Jets may use a Day 3 pick on a cornerback for depth and special teams.
