We have gone back and forth on how to fix the Giants. Whom to draft. We all have our ideas. The one thing that everyone seems to agree on is fixing the O-Line and rightfully so. Where the greatest debate is how much draft capitol should be spent on the O-line. I was in the camp of drafting 4 in this upcoming draft. The other hot topic was the pass rusher. What round and who. Then we move on to all other positions, WR, RB, TE, LB and CB. The Edge rushers are deep, but the consensus if there is only 4 or 5 top edge rushers. Same goes for WR, CB, Tackle, and Guard. The one position that seems very light is (biggest drop off after the 6th player taken) is the IDL.
The 2022 crop of interior defensive linemen isn't all that impressive. DeMarvin Leal and Jordan Davis are the only two interior defensive linemen ranked inside PFF's top-32 overall prospect rankings. And only four others at the position even cracked PFF's top-100. Danny Shelton and Austin Johnson could and should be upgraded. George Karlaftis and the best available O-Lineman should be picked with our two 1st round picks. Then in the 2nd round we should address the IDL. In the 2nd round Devonte Wyatt should be there. Regardless Logan Hall, Travis Jones or Perrion Winfrey any of these guys would do. Adding George Karlaftis and an IDL should help Leonard Williams right away. In the 3rd round I would take an O-linemen and a LBer. My choice is Brandon Smith (if he is there, he has been trending up). Last 4 picks Rounds 4 through 6 I would go O-line, LBer, TE and RB.
What's changed for me is adding a IDL to my mock and addressing the O-line not as early as before. It is still #1 on my list, but we need to get some premium key pieces on defense too. Adding to the D-line will help keep us in more competitive games while we rebuild.
