With Jermaine Eluemunor set to hit free agency, New York needs to explore this year's right tackle class to make sure it can protect its investment in Jaxson Dart. Andrew Thomas has proven to be a quality blind side protector, but the offensive line needs someone to hold down the right edge.

Cornerback

Deonte Banks ended up being a bust and Paulson Adebo struggled after signing with the Giants during free agency last offseason. The defense's best outside cornerback this season, Cordale Flott, is on a contract year, making the position a need once again.

Wide Receiver

As long as Malik Nabers is in town, there's no need for a No. 1 receiver in New York. However, Nabers will be coming off a torn ACL, and Dart could use a second option out wide. Also, slot receivers could be high on the team's big board since Wan'Dale Robinson is an impending free agent.

Greg Van Roten has been a starter over the last two seasons in New York, but he's about to be a 36-year-old free agent. Also, Jon Runyan and John Michael Schmitz Jr. haven't lived up to their billings yet, making the interior offensive line a priority in the draft.

Cincinnati LB Jake Golday

Micah McFadden missed nearly the entire season with a foot injury and is set to hit free agency this spring. Also, Bobby Okereke had a down year and is only signed through 2026, putting linebacker on the Giants' radar during the 2026 draft.

CJ Allen, Georgia (No. 35)

Deontae Lawson, Alabama (No. 46)

Jake Golday, Cincinnati (No. 53)
