The phones have rung, the cards have been put in, and the undrafted free agents have signed. The New York Giants have a good idea of what they are working with as they approach the start of the 2023 season.
But before we endure the next few months without football, let's take a deep dive into what the potential depth chart will look like with all 53 players being accounted for. So without further ado, let's dive in.

The Giants may have different ideas once the season rolls around, seeing they will have months of data from workouts, practices, minicamps, and preseason games to go off of when making their roster and subsequent depth chart decisions.
But I think things may look fairly similar to this when it's all set and done. And if the Giants can field a team with this kind of quality, then expectations should go above and beyond what they accomplished in 2022.
