The 2024 NFL Draft is still a little over five months away, but Giants fans suffering through a disaster of a season could be rewarded as New York is in a position to alter the course of its franchise with a pick in the top two.
Here is the current draft order before the Jets and Raiders face off on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 10, according to Tankathon.
Note: Team needs are built out based on the projected free agents and are not necessarily a reflection of the current situation. Some team needs are more for depth rather than an immediate starter.
