NY Giants roster prediction 2.0: Who is going to make the final 53?

Offensive Line: Andrew Thomas, Jon Runyan Jr., John Michael Schmitz, Greg Van-Roten, Jermaine Eluemunor, Evan Neal, Aaron Stinnie, Austin Schlottmann and Josh Ezeudu

As questionable as the offensive line can look at times, there are plenty of guaranteed spots on the roster, making it somewhat difficult to judge who could be released or not. However, our last prediction seems pretty accurate based on what we have seen thus far. That is, unless Joe Schoen signs a veteran free agent, which remains a possibility.

The depth may look pretty suspect, but the starting unit for the Giants offensive line is looking the most stable it has in a very long time. Guys like Jermaine Eluemunor, Jon Runyan Jr., and Greg Van Roten were acquired this offseason and it seems like they will all start in the 2024 season, which is a huge upgrade over what they had last campaign.

We could see the Giants potentially sign a backup center or guard, as Austin Sclottmann is replaceable, and Aaron Stinnie has looked questionable at times in training camp and in the preseason. For now, though, it looks like they are best fit to stay over the other options.

Defensive Line: Dexter Lawrence, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, Jordon Riley, Elijah Chatman and D.J. Davidson

This was by far the position we were the most off on from last time, as both Jordan Phillips and Ryder Anderson are no longer on the roster. However, we did not anticipate the rise of Elijah Chatman, who has made a number of incredible plays through his first two preseason games.

As for the rest, there really isn't much to it. Dexter Lawrence and Rakeem Nunez-Roches are guaranteed at this point, and there, unfortunately, isn't much talent on this defensive line as of now. It would likely be in Schoen's best interest to look into acquiring some interior defensive line help for Lawrence and Co.
