On Sunday, the Giants announced that they’ve inked a trio of undrafted free agents. Their three-man class is uncommonly small, but Dan Duggan of The Athletic (on Twitter) hears that this will likely represent the entirety of their initial UDFA group. So, barring any unexpected changes, this will be the Giants’ post-draft haul:

The Giants did not use any of their picks on offensive lineman, so they’re hoping to see some promise out of Heggie and Burton. Burton, once a starting tackle at UCLA, will push for a spot behind Andrew Thomas, Nate Solder, and Matt Peart. Meanwhile, Heggie will look to backstop guards Shane Lemieux and Will Hernandez.
“It’s really apparent we have a little more confidence in our offensive line than you guys do,’’ GM Dave Gettleman said after passing on OLs in the draft (via the New York Post). “We’re happy with the group we have, obviously you’re always trying to get better. You’re not gonna just take a player to take him.’’
Instead, the Giants focused mostly on the other side of the ball, dedicated four of their six picks to the defense.
Let’s hope they have a few more signings soon.
There’s also the June 1 cap cuts so there could be some O-line on the cheap that become available then.
PFTR talks contracts.
Does that mean you’ll write up, Trevor Lawrence putting his signing bonus into crypto?
Please and thank you
very interesting and even more so on the publicity of recent big names dumping money. still kick myself for selling when I bought last march @5k
The only thing surprising, with Sunday being a Day of Rest, is the media’s goal of declaring this the end. I realize rosters have limits, but last year (after 10 picks, 4 in 7th rd) the Giants still inked 14 FAs over a number of weeks.
