Giants NFL Draft needs

• Defensive line additions: The most glaring issue for the Giants in 2025 was their inability to prevent the run game, allowing opponents to average 145.3 rushing yards. Multiple additions may be in order for the Giants in this case, primarily in the form of defensive tackles. There's certainly a chance that the Giants will take a DT on both Thursday and Friday.
• Find a secondary star: Caleb Downs is a common mock draft pairing for the New York Giants, who are seeking a star player in their secondary. The Giants defense is in need of versatility, which aligns well with the athleticism that Downs can bring, especially to a team ranked 28th in the NFL last season in defensive yards.
• Give Dart another target: The later rounds of the Giants' 2026 draft are likely to include a receiver. Jaxson Dart is still developing as a quarterback but showed promise in his rookie season, finishing fourth in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting. Having an additional target could help to gradually improve this Giants offense.
