Weaknesses are littered across the New York Giants’ roster, and here are three that really stand out ahead of the NFL Draft.

With the 2020 NFL Draft right around the corner, positions of weakness will finally be addressed, but given the New York Giants only have two selections in the top 98 picks, not all can solve a roster void.

With the immense amount of youth featuring on both sides of the ball, Big Blue has a lot of work to do when it comes to solidifying positions of significance.

Here are three spots the New York Giants need to address:

1.) Pass Rush

The Giants spent minimal cap allocations toward bolstering this unit, supposedly letting Markus Golden walk and signing Kyler Fackrell, who last produced serviceable numbers in 2018 when Patrick Graham was the linebackers coach for Green Bay. Fackrell has the potential to be an affordable starter with high-upside (posted 10.5 sacks in 2018), but unless Oshane Ximines or Lorenzo Carter burst onto the scene, the position remains a weakness.

I anticipate Graham scheming a pass rush, which could indicate Isaiah Simmons is high on their board (he should be anyway). There’s always the slim chance that Chase Young falls into their laps, but assuming that won’t happen, GM Dave Gettleman will have to depend on his youth to step up to the plate.

2.) Offensive tackle

On any given day, the first place spot could be pass rusher or offensive tackle, but since the Giants seem committed to Nate Solder at left tackle, I’m slotting the position as the second weakest. Signing Cam Fleming and having Nick Gates on the roster presents some sort of optimism regarding right tackle, but there’s no guarantee either will look good enough to earn starting reps. The Giants could efficiently allocate a top draft pick toward the position, locking it down and protecting Daniel Jones for the foreseeable future.

3.) Free safety 

The Giants may inject Julian Love into the free safety position,  but he’s more stout in the slot, where he posted substantial numbers. His 65.5% completion rate against attests to his ability to hold up in coverage, but he often was found making clean tackles around the line of scrimmage. He finished with five tackles for a loss — a lot for a player who some believe is the Giants’ free safety of the future. Personally, I like him as their starting slot corner, given his ability to shift his hips and match up with receivers stride-for-stride.

Allocating a draft pick toward the position isn’t a bad idea, but they might value a new center over a free safety.
