The Giants drafted another defensive lineman – Darius Alexander from Toledo – with their lone Day 2 pick on Friday night. New York has four more picks scheduled for Saturday, beginning with the third pick of the fourth round. At this stage, priorities tend to shift from needs toward value but, having only made three selections so far, the Giants have a few outstanding needs that could be addressed.
Let’s look at who the Giants could be considering drafting on Saturday.
Texas OT Cameron Williams
The Giants added plenty of offensive line depth in the offseason by signing James Hudson and Stone Forsythe in free agency and re-signing last year’s starting right guard Greg Van Roten. While many Giants fans wanted to bring in an upgrade, the team may be satisfied with their depth and more inclined to target a developmental project.
Williams is one player who could be an option who could be groomed to a potential starter at right tackle. Last season, he played well despite being limited by a heel injury, which has since been surgically repaired so there is some potential upside here.
Colorado State WR Tory Horton
The Giants would like to bring in another young player to compete for time alongside Malik Nabers and the 6-foot-3 Horton is a player who probably would have gone much higher had he not missed most of last season with a knee injury.
Horton had over 1,100 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in both 2022 and 2023 and brings some big play potential to the table, having run a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash at the Combine. He also has some potential special teams value with a punt return touchdown in each of the last three years.
UTSA CB Zah Frazier
The Giants only intercepted five passes last season and nobody had more than one, so if a playmaking defensive back falls to them on Day 3, it could add a useful dimension to their secondary.
Frazier intercepted six passes last season, so he could be exactly the kind of player New York is looking for. He has excellent length at 6-foot-3 and is a terrific athlete who ran the fifth-fastest 40-yard dash for any cornerback at this season’s NFL Combine with a 4.36.
Oklahoma LB Danny Stutsman
Bobby Okereke and Micah McFadden are back in 2025 after combining for 200 tackles and five sacks at linebacker for the Giants last season. However, the Giants could be interested in adding a third linebacker to provide depth and to get reps in base packages when three linebackers are on the field with an eye on a full-time role from next year onward.
Stutsman has had plenty of experience and production at the collegiate level, as he racked up almost 350 tackles in three years as a starter for the Sooners. He has excellent length and has good potential against the run, in coverage and as a pass rusher.
Georgia G Xavier Truss
As noted earlier, the Giants added veteran depth on their offensive line during the offseason but could now be looking to add some youth and upside. The ability of Jermaine Eluemunor to be a reliable starter at guard or tackle affords them flexibility in terms of who they might look to add to the mix.
If they look to add to their interior depth, Truss could be an option. He could be a useful reserve because he started games at four different positions on a team with multiple other NFL prospects. Two of his linemates were drafted on Day 2, so Truss’s own contributions were potentially overshadowed.
FSU DT Joshua Farmer
The Giants already addressed their interior defensive line by drafting Alexander on Friday, but could they be compelled to “double-dip” in what is supposedly a historically deep defensive tackle class?If they do, the 22-year-old Farmer is regarded as one of the best available options still on the board and the Giants will have plenty of options because they have an early selection with just two other teams selecting ahead of them. Farmer has outstanding length and racked up nine sacks over the last two seasons.
