The New York Giants will likely make the defense the focus of their draft. And considering the strength of the upcoming draft class at several positions of need on the Giants’ defense, that makes a lot of sense.
They need help and depth at all levels of their defense, and have need help at their linebacking corps for years now. The Giants are locked in to Alec Ogletree as a starting linebacker, and B.J. Goodson has shown himself capable, but he is in the final year of his rookie contract. The team might look for a replacement for Goodson, but they might also be unable to spend a high draft pick on an off-ball linebacker.
