2. Add some pass-rush help
The Giants have been wanting to be able to get after opposing teams' offenses more often. Last year, Kayvon Thibodeaux led the team with 11.5 sacks. After him there was a big dip in numbers with the next person being Jihad Ward with five. The Giants finally think they have helped solve a big part of the problem with the addition of Brian Burns. They still would love to be able to have constant pressure from the inside to take pressure off Dexter Lawrence.
While they didn't draft a defensive tackle, they signed veteran interior player Jordan Phillips along with signing undrafted free agent Casey Rogers out of Oregon. Rogers and last year's seventh-round pick Jordon Riley have been turning heads so far this offseason, but most of these interior players are space eaters rather than pass rushers.
EDGE wise, after Burns and Thibodeaux, there isn't a lot of dependable depth. Azeez Ojulari has proven to be not the most durable while the Giants got next to nothing out of Boogie Basham last year. There are a number of notable names the Giants could make the call to and see if they can get some production out of. This includes 30-year-old Emmanuel Ogbah, but he only played in 19 percent of defensive snaps all last season.
Yannick Ngakoue is also a free agent and is coming off a down year with only four sacks. If the Giants could get him for a cheaper number, and he could return to his 2021-2022 form, NY could land him on a steal of a deal.
