Giants draft preview: Defensive line options on each day of the draft

The New York Giants have recently sported an effective and deep defensive line. Ironically, the line lacked depth in their lone successful recent season (2022). Still, Joe Schoen rectified the situation last season with several free-agent signings and the late draft selection of Jordon Riley.

Schoen shrewdly capitalized on Seattle's desperate playoff aspirations before the trade deadline last year. He sent Leonard Williams's expiring contract to Seattle for their second-round pick, which gave Schoen the flexibility to trade his own second-round pick for Brian Burns in March.

Once the season ended, A’Shawn Robinson took his 515 snaps to another city, leaving the defensive line room with superstar Dexter Lawrence, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, DJ Davidson, and Riley.
