With the NFL Draft complete, undrafted free agents signed, and free agency nearing its end, the Giants have filled the majority of their offseason holes with veterans and rookies.
The Giants will have their rookie minicamp this weekend, and the first week of organized team activities (OTAs) later in May. However, with the offseason activities getting started, it’s time to see how the roster looks at the current moment.
Quarterbacks (3)
Daniel Jones (presumed starter)
Tyrod Taylor
Tommy DeVito (rookie undrafted free agent)
Haaziq Daniels (rookie undrafted free agent)
Daniel Jones is back and is the unquestioned starter at quarterback. The team like Tyrod Taylor as his veteran backup, and Taylor has the athleticism and rushing ability to fill in if need be. Former Illinois quarterback, and Livington, NJ native, Tommy DeVito will battle fellow Ner Jersey native Daniels for a chance to be a developmental quarterback.
Running backs (7)
Saquon Barkley (presumed starter)
Matt Breida
Eric Gray (rookie)
Gary Brightwell
Jashaun Corbin
Ike Irabor (rookie undrafted free agent)
Peter Oliver (rookie undrafted free agent)
At this point, we have to assume Saquon Barkley will play for the Giants in 2023 but that it will be his last season in New York. That makes the selection of Eric Gray amount to a understudy position for one year. Matt Breida will likely remain the backup with Gray as the third running back. Brightwell and Corbin will compete for the final spot, which will likely come down to who has more special teams value. However, perhaps local prospects Irabor and Oliver impress at rookie minicamp.
Wide Receivers (16)
Darius Slayton (presumed starter)
Parris Campbell (presumed starter)
Isaiah Hodgins (presumed starter)
Wan’Dale Robinson
Sterling Shepard
Jalin Hyatt (rookie)
Jamison Crowder

Collin Johnson
David Sills V
Kalil Pimleton
Makai Polk
Jaydon Mickens
Bryce Ford-Wheaton (rookie undrafted free agent)
Garrett Maag (rookie undrafted…
