The New York Giants made seven selections in the 2023 NFL Draft.

The New York Giants have spent the better part of the past two weeks in free agency watching several key players walk away. This group included former second-overall pick Saquon Barkley and Xavier McKinney, as both are headed off to other NFC rival squads. However, in the same period, the Giants have made several key improvements to their roster and also further fuelled potential ideas of a quarterback competition in East Rutherford come July training camp.
