The New York Giants have been trying to fix the offensive line for about a decade now. They finally seem to be on the right track.
Before injuries rocked them, they were a top-15 unit last year. While they brought back veterans Greg Van Roten and Aaron Stinnie on one-year deals, they need definitive starters for the future.
Fortunately for the G-Men, this year's draft class offers tons of options. The offensive line class is one of, if not the deepest in the draft. Some starting-caliber interior guys could be found on Day 3. The tackle group is a bit more shallow, but the Giants could still find a reliable swing tackle on Day 3 easily, with a starting-caliber one through Day 2. Big Blue should look to add multiple players in multiple rounds to address their remaining needs.
Here are 3 prospects the Giants must target.
3 OL prospects the Giants must consider drafting
1. Donovan Jackson, OL (Ohio State)
One of the most dominant linemen in the entire draft, Donovan Jackson is an absolute must-have for New York if he makes it to them in the second round. Jackson is a dependable and consistent lineman. He has played almost every position on the line and has 51 career starts including 11 as a freshman.
Jackson never gave up a sack in his career. If the G-Men can get Jackson, he could be a day 1 starter for them. Slotting him next to John Michael Schmitz and Jermaine Eluemunor at right guard could be that final missing piece of the line the Giants have been searching for.
2. Cameron Williams, OT (Texas)
During the season, Cam Williams had flashes of being a very good tackle in the future. The hype around him has since cooled off a bit but, make no mistake, Williams can be a future star at the next level if he continues to develop.
His former Texas running mate, Kelvin Banks Jr., will likely hear his name called first—he’s projected to go on Day 1. But Williams could be a steal for the Giants in Round 3. A true dancing bear of a prospect, Williams is easily one of the most athletic linemen in the entire draft.
If the Giants can draft him, stash him, and let him develop behind the veteran tackles—working under OL Coach Carmen Bricillo—Williams could be ready to start by Year 2, especially if Jermaine Eluemunor lands a big payday elsewhere in free agency after the 2025 season.
3. Jake Majors, OL (Texas)
While we don’t exactly know what the Giants will do at No. 3, we do know one thing: they love Jake Majors, the center out of Texas.
Majors is a proven player. After appearing in just three games as a freshman, he went on to play in 58 career games for the Longhorns. While he sometimes struggles to consistently open lanes in the run game—he’s proficient but not exactly a people-mover—Majors shines in pass protection.
One of the best pass protectors in college football, Majors has been shooting up draft boards. If drafted by the Giants, he’ll immediately push current starting center John Michael Schmitz, who has struggled in pass protection since entering the league. With a competitive mix of veterans and talented prospects, the Giants will field an even stronger unit in 2025 if they add any of these names.
