Now that the Giants have picked Oklahoma State cornerback Korie Black in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft (246th overall), let’s take a look at some scouting reports for him.

Black — who is 6-foot tall and 192 pounds — was the Giants’ final selection in this draft, following edge rusher Abdul Carter and quarterback Jaxson Dart in Round 1, defensive tackle Darius Alexander in Round 3, running back Cam Skattebo in Round 4 and offensive guard Marcus Mbow in Round 5 and Nebraska tight end Thomas Fidone in Round 7.

• NFL.com: “Three-year starting cornerback with good size and great speed. Black played in all coverage schemes but needs more polish in press and off-man. He’s not bad at matching route breaks and releases, and he can be smothering at the catch point when his route anticipation is on. He plays with eye balance and readiness from zone but needs to trust his instincts. His difficulty finding and playing the football with his back to the quarterback is an issue, though. Black appears well worth a Day 3 pick for his traits and tape flashes alone.”

• The 33rd Team: “Oklahoma State Cowboys cornerback Korie Black projects as a developmental starter at the NFL level. Black is twitchy and physical and shows the ability to trigger and plaster against hard-angled routes. Consistency in his technique and footwork is the key to his reaching his ceiling, but the physical ability is present, and he found the football often by being combative at the catch point in 2024. With an added layer of special teams experience to his credit, Black can be a game-day active player who develops his defensive prowess over time.”
