The Giants focused this place final yr and got here away with Kayvon Thibodeaux with the No. 5 total decide.

The numbers (4 sacks, 13 quarterback hits) weren’t all-world, however Thibodeaux confirmed he’s a high-motor, sideline-to-sideline defender and a keeper.

The pairing with Azeez Ojulari by no means actually materialized as a result of Ojulari (10 missed video games) couldn’t keep wholesome.

There’s not a lot on the bench.

Can Elerson Smith get on the sphere? Count on the Giants to handle this place.

Isaiah Foskey broke Justin Tuck’s sack file at Notre Dame and can be a stable addition.

Andre Carter (Army) is 6-foot-6 ¹/₂ and an intriguing prospect and Byron Younger (Tennessee) has legit move rush potential. B.J. Ojulari of LSU — sure, the youthful brother of Azeez — is a Day 2 choice, most likely not an amazing spot for the Giants to rearrange for a household reunion.

This isn’t a precedence place for the Jets, however Robert Saleh can by no means have sufficient move rushers, so you possibly can’t low cost the Jets taking one within the draft subsequent week.

Carl Lawson goes to stay round for this yr however might be gone in 2024. They simply took Jermaine Johnson in final yr’s draft and he ought to have a a lot greater function this yr.

I may see Joe Douglas taking an edge rusher on Day 3 if there’s one they actually like.
