The New York Giants turn their attention to undrafted free agency as the NFL Draft comes to an end in an effort to bolster their roster and find underappreciated players who might be valuable additions.
Undrafted free agents have helped the Giants discover talent in the past, and this year is no exception. The following are some undrafted prospects that the Giants may choose to sign:
1. Andrew Raym (IOL, Oklahoma)
The Giants are interested in offensive lineman like Raym now that they have Carmen Bricillo as their offensive line coach. Raym, a three-year starter at Oklahoma, has versatility and experience.
2. Karsen Barnhart (IOL, Michigan)
Having played every position on the offensive line except center during his time at Michigan, Barnhart’s versatility is his strongest suit. Even though he might not be the perfect length for a tackle, the Giants might find his versatility to be an intriguing potential.
3. Trey Knox (TE, South Carolina)
The Giants are still willing to add more depth at tight end even though they selected one in the later rounds. Former wide receiver Knox may use some practice squad experience as he continues to grow as a tight end.
4. Christian Roland-Wallace (CB, USC)
Roland-Wallace’s ability to play on the outside and his ball-hawking skills drew the attention of the Giants. His ability to play with aggression and his mastery of defensive concepts make him a bright future addition to the Giants secondary.
5. Kingsley Eguakun (IOL, Florida)
Even though Eguakun was injured and missed the Combine, he showed off his skills during the Florida pro day. He provides versatility and potential depth for the Giants offensive line, having played both guard and center in the past.
6. Pheldarius Payne (DL, Virginia Tech)
Payne is a fascinating candidate for the Giants because of his flexibility on defense. With his versatility and successful college career, Payne may be able to make the team if he performs well in training camp.
The Giants hope to find talent that might have a big influence on their roster as they scout these undrafted hopefuls. These athletes have the chance to establish themselves and possibly gain a spot on an NFL team through undrafted free agency.
