The New York Giants have a new general manager and are looking to rebuild the team. They’ve already made three picks in this year’s draft, with two of them being offensive lineman from LSU – Kayvon Thibodeaux (35th overall) and John Jerry (59th). What happens next?
The “ny giants mock draft 2022 7 rounds” is a mock draft that predicts the New York Giants’ picks in the 2022 NFL Draft. The article also includes grades for each player and teams projected picks in each round.
Will two first-round selections in the 2022 NFL Draft be enough to bring the New York Giants back on track and up the NFC standings? Regardless of the plan of attack with underperforming incumbent quarterback Daniel Jones, that was surely the goal entering into the Thursday part of the proceedings.
The Giants must hit the ball out of the park in this draft, which is made much more difficult by the roster’s many deficiencies. They need big assistance on the edges, at offensive line, in the secondary (especially at cornerback), and the list of lesser needs is much longer, as one would expect from a team that finished 4-13.
At the very least, Saquon Barkley is still on the roster and seems to be in good condition. For the time being? Maybe?

The New York Giants need offensive linemen to guard Daniel Jones (and whomever comes after him), but they already have the seventh overall selection. Right now, pass rushers are in great demand, and Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux is one of the finest in the draft. He’s inexperienced, and there are some concerns about his work ethic and football concentration. However, the Giants are at their finest when they have outstanding edge rushers, and Thibodeaux is one of them.
Grade: B
The New York Giants selected their offensive lineman at No. 7 after acquiring their edge-rusher at No. 5. Neal can play four different offensive line positions, and at 6-foot-7 12 inches and 337 pounds, he can dominate at all of them. For the G-Men, the former Crimson Tide lineman will likely start opposite Andrew Thomas at right tackle. Neal has to be more consistent and lose weight, but if he does, he’ll be a ten-year starter on the offensive line at some point.
Grade: A-
