2. OLB Azeez Ojulari

The Giants were so high on Azeez Ojulari when they drafted him with their second-round pick in 2021. After a strong rookie year in '21 where he recorded eight sacks with 27 quarterback pressures, he's not been the same. From injuries that have continued to mount for him and with the addition of the aforementioned Burns, New York may in fact trade him before the season even starts.

Ojulari has played in just 18 games over the last two years combined, as multiple stints on the Injured Reserve list have cost him lots of playing time. He's dealt with multiple injuries, which has been a bummer. Now, Burns and Thibodeaux are going to lead the pass-rush, while Ojulari is going to be coming off the bench.

With the Giants defensive front for the future likely to feature the likes of Burns, Lawrence and Thibodeaux, who are all in the primes of their careers, it is very hard to envision Ojulari being with the Giants for the long haul. He is entering the final year of his rookie contract, so the Giants could look to move on from him and get something in return while they can.
