With the No. 5 or No. 7 overall picks in next week’s NFL draft, the Giants could see their top-rated cornerback on the board, available for selection. It stands to reason that the need to prioritize that position may hinge on whether or not James Bradberry is part of the Giants’ plan for this season.

Bradberry is on the roster for now, but he is not expected to remain there for very long. The Giants need the $12.1 million they would save on the salary cap if they are able to trade away their best cornerback. Bradberry is set to count $21.8 million on the cap.

“We’ll see,’’ general manager Joe Schoen said Wednesday. “We’ll figure that out. I’ve had great conversations with James Bradberry’s representatives. I’ve talked to James. He can still play in this league. He’s a starting corner. We talked. There are contingency plans as I mentioned at the combine and owners meeting where he could still be a New York Giant.’’

Contingency plans?

Schoen has mentioned previously that reworking the contracts of veteran players to create immediate cap space was a strategy he wanted to use only as a “last resort.’’ He did it with cornerback Adoree’ Jackson to create nearly $6 million in cap space. Bradberry is entering the final year of his three-year, $43.5 million deal and would have to have his contract extended to create cap space for the Giants.

“That’s the tough part about this job,’’ Schoen said. “James Bradberry is a great person, good player. He is. I like the kid. I like the skill-set. It’s just the situation we’re in from a financial standpoint. But there are ways that we can still make it work and James can be here. People say why don’t you cut or trade him. Then there’s a huge void. We’re going to play it out, see how the draft goes, see what the roster looks like. There’s still contingency plans where we can keep James on the roster.’’

Schoen said he has received calls about Bradberry.

“At the end of the day you have to do what’s best for the New York Giants,’’ Schoen said. “He’s still a player that can play at a high level and is a starting corner in the league.’’

Schoen said he has received calls from other teams inquiring whether the Giants are interested in trading down from No. 5 or No. 7. There has not been one “hard offer,’’ though.

“We haven’t got into negotiations,” he said. “Just some teams called and said, ‘Would you be willing to move?’ That’s kind of where it is right now. My comment was as the draft gets closer, we can talk more if there’s any specifics, if you’re serious about doing it. I think some teams are just fishing around.’’

Hall of Famer and Giants legend Michael Strahan showed up Tuesday for the first day of the voluntary minicamp. He broke down the team huddle and spoke briefly to the players.

“This is his stomping grounds,’’ defensive lineman Leonard Williams said. “It was awesome to see him out here. I think guys just seeing him boosts morale and energy around the guys. He’s a good guy to get some advice and wisdom from.’’
