Giants 2021 roster rankings: Nos. 60-51

We are now reaching the point in our New York Giants roster rankings where the nitpicking about which player or players are ranked too high or low is probably about to begin. We are at Nos. 60-51, with several players who were on the 53-man roster last season, draft picks and a couple of free-agent acquisitions with recognizable names.

I tried not to drive myself crazy debating whether players needed to be moved up or down a spot or two. In reality, at this point the effort is mostly to get players into the proper groups of 10. The nitty gritty of the rankings probably comes when we get below No. 40.

Here is the latest group.

Nos. 60-51

60. LB Devante Downs
59. FB Cullen Gillaspia
58. CB Rodarius Williams
57. WR C.J. Board
56. RB Gary Brightwell
55. RB Corey Clement
54. LB Carter Coughlin
53. LB Ryan Anderson
52. LB Niko Lalos
51. CB Madre Harper
