The New York Giants are a fascinating team to watch early in the 2023 NFL Draft.
They have some clear needs, including cornerback, interior offensive line, and wide receiver. That being said, they also need depth along the defensive line and at linebacker.
They could attack a plethora of positions, and don't be surprised if they make a trade or two to do so.
Regardless, recent NFL draft buzz from ESPN insiders makes it sound like the Giants will, in fact, target WR and CB early in this year's selection process.
Anything goes with the Giants in this draft. And that includes wide receiver, as their additions are mostly on one-year deals. Explosiveness and speed are the keys for coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen. They don't necessarily need a traditional X receiver. Given the options and pre-draft work they've done with the projected top wide receivers, this position remains the favorite for them in the first round. — Jordan Raanan
What we're hearing about the Giants' draft: Two positions dominate the conversations around the Giants: wide receiver and cornerback. Even after adding Parris Campbell and Jamison Crowder, re-signing Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard, and trading for tight end Darren Waller, the pass-catcher group is shallow enough for an addition in Round 1 if the Giants like the players available. Jordan Addison (USC) and Zay Flowers (Boston College) would be good fits.
One source with knowledge of the team's plans, however, speculated cornerback would end up the most likely target based on the Giants' draft board and which prospects are expected to be available at No. 25. I'm keeping my eye on Emmanuel Forbes (Mississippi State) and his 14 career interceptions — including six pick-sixes. — Miller
This makes all the sense in the world.
You could argue that cornerback is actually the biggest need on the roster based on talent and experience. So, adding one in the first or second round would be really smart for the Giants.
Wide receiver also remains a need, but adding Darren Waller at tight end does relieve that a bit.
They do need another outside presence at WR, though. Many of the top talents in this class project to play mostly inside, though.
Only time will tell how the Giants set themselves up in this draft, but this buzz will probably excite fans.
