Giants could target athletic Clemson LB at the end of the first round

The New York Giants are in the market for a new linebacker this season after the 2022 season exposed the lack of talent the team possessed at that position. Picking late in the first round, the Giants could target a linebacker prospect at the end of the first round.

Trenton Simpson out of Clemson could be a target for the Giants with the 25th pick in this year’s draft. The 2023 NFL Draft class is thin at the linebacker position, but Simpson stands out among the rest as the top-ranked prospect in this class. Analysts project the Clemson product as a late first-round selection, making him a prime target for the Giants.
