With pick 246 the Giants draft CB Korie Black

[Bob In PA]

Schoen drafted Black with the idea of adding a special teamer who could play a bit of CB

Rich: I heard that in the video, but he did also say (earlier, in response to some other question) something to indicate that he was (in the interview) putting a cautiously-optimistic (conservative) tint on his answers about each pick.

Black played in a zone defense that is very much like what Bowen likes to do if left to his own devices. Since he's not the head coach (and considering our personnel, many of whom are Wink types), we can't say Black will fit right in, but we can be sure there will be teams against whom they play lot of zone.

IMO the goal of this defense will be (considering all the pass-rush ammo they now have) to blitz as LITTLE as possible, which will increase the number of plays where they can play zone. This is the key. If it does not turn out that way (for whatever reason) then my optimism for Black's chances to stick will wane.

decent size and I do NOT like short or spindly corners.   for round 7, a good pick.
