Good morning, New York Giants fans!
New York Giants unofficial 2023 depth chart
We know where the biggest needs are, but the visual can help reinforce that. Things jump with the 2023 NFL Draft slightly more than two weeks:
- The jumbled picture at center and left guard stands out;
- The need for more depth — and play-makers — at cornerback and safety is clear; and
- There is opportunity for a Day 2 or Day 3 pick to come in and take a roster spot at running back, tight end and defensive line.

Giants' WR1 options include DeAndre Hopkins, Jaxon Smith-Njigba ... and Stefon Diggs? | FOX Sports
FOX Sports' Ralph Vacchiano looks at all the players and options available for the Giants at wide receiver, from the draft—on Days 1,2 or 3—as well as trade. Vacchiano gives his view of all the noise surrounding a player the team's braintrust if familiar with.
Bills WR Stefon Diggs: This is probably not happening, but the 29-year-old is sure putting on a good show. First was his caught-on-camera sideline blowup during Buffalo's playoff loss. Then he scrubbed his social media accounts of any mentions of the Bills, while dropping other online clues that he might want out. And, of course, everyone knows general manager Joe Schoen and Daboll know him well from Buffalo. Unfortunately for them, it would actually cost the Bills an additional $30 million against the salary cap if they traded Diggs before June 1.

New York Giants: Marcus Peters, CB
Baltimore has plenty of reasons to keep Marcus Peters, but he's been on the market for a long time. As a result, the Giants could swoop in to snatch him—especially because former Ravens defensive coordinator Wink Martindale is now leading New York's unit.

Giants 3-round 2023 NFL Mock Draft: Will Big Blue address wide receiver? | SNY.tv

25. New York Giants: John Michael Schmitz, Minnesota
PFF's Sam Monson says:
"John Michael Schmitz should be a first-round player on everybody’s draft board. Given how low he is on the consensus board, I would be tempted to play the value game and try and select him later, but in the end I played it safe and grabbed an elite player at a position of need. He allowed two sacks and just 19 pressures over three years."
2023 Giants seven-round NFL mock draft: New York shores up defense early | CBSSports.com
With the exception of Waller, none of the players the Giants brought in necessarily represents a significant enough upgrade to forego drafting a player at the same position. (Okereke is a big upgrade on last year's Giants linebackers, but he's not a star-caliber player himself.) That means New York can go in any number of directions when it comes on the clock with the No. 26 overall pick at the end of this month.
Round 1, Pick 25 Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland
Round 2, Pick 57 Derick Hall, EDGE, Auburn
Round 3, Pick 89 Rashee Rice, WR, SMU
Round 4, Pick 128 Ronnie Hickman, S, Ohio State
Round 5, Pick 160 Chandler Zavala, IOL, NC State
Round 5, Pick 172 YaYa Diaby, EDGE, Louisville
Round 6, Pick 209 Deneric Prince, RB, Tulsa
Round 7, Pick 240 Alex Forsyth, IOL, Oregon
Round 7, Pick 243 Nesta Jade Silvera IDL Arizona State
Round 7, Pick 254 Drake Thomas LB NC State

No. 25: O’Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida
No. 57: Darius Rush, CB, South Carolina
No. 89: A.T. Perry, WR, Wake Forest
Remaining picks: 128, 160, 172, 209, 240, 243, 254
New York needs a guard and should have a chance to grab the top prospect at that position without moving off 25. And it wouldn’t take much for A.T. Perry to be an upgrade over what New York got from Kenny Golladay.
