John Harbaugh’s first draft class with the New York Giants is complete, a seven-man draft class as the offseason overhaul continued.

Even though the Giants are already signing some undrafted free agents — including Michigan kicker Dominic Zvada and Boston College long snapper Ben Mann — we’re not adding them to this depth chart yet. We’ll have a separate look at the UDFAs later this week, which will cover the impact those players can potentially make on the roster.

Similar to my last depth-chart projection, I went 12 personnel in my offensive calculations. And there’s bound to be at least one upcoming veteran signing that should have starting-lineup implications — we’ll get to that.

Quarterback

Starter: Jaxson Dart
Backup: Jameis Winston, Brandon Allen

The Giants added Allen since the last iteration of this depth chart, giving the roster three quarterbacks. Dart is the starter with Winston second on the depth chart. I was wondering if the Giants would draft a late-round quarterback to develop as Dart’s backup given Winston is only signed through this season, but the team did not draft one.

Expect some quarterbacks at rookie minicamp, but the Giants have at least rounded out the room with a player who is familiar to current passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan thanks to their most recent overlap in 2025 in Tennessee. The 33-year-old Allen was a 2016 sixth-round selection by the Jaguars and is with his seventh team this season.

Running back

Starter: Cam Skattebo
Backups: FB Patrick Ricard, Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary, Eric Gray, Dante Miller

The running back room could have changed drastically had the Cardinals not selected running back Jeremiyah Love at No. 3. The Giants’ No. 5 pick, Arvell Reese, and Love were the top non-quarterbacks on the Giants’ draft board, per my colleague Dan Duggan. But with Love’s early selection, the room remains the same post-draft, with the focus on Skattebo, Ricard and Tracy.

Wide receiver

Starters: Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton
Backups: Malachi Fields, Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin III, Gunner Olszewski, Isaiah Hodgins, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins, Dalen Cambre, Xavier Gipson, Ryan Miller, Courtney Jackson

The Giants upgraded their receiver room, trading into the third round to select Fields with the No. 74 pick. At 6-4, 222 pounds, Fields adds a different dimension as a contested-catch specialist. There’s depth where Fields shouldn’t have to be relied on as a rookie, but there’s room to grow into the No. 2 receiver on the roster alongside Nabers given Mooney and Austin are on one-year deals.

Austin should be the starting slot, while the No. 2 for now could be a battle between Slayton and Mooney. I’m giving the edge to Slayton for now. But Fields’ selection was important in providing Dart another offensive playmaker, especially with Nabers’ health a question mark for the start of the season.

“You can put it in the radius, put it in the area, and he’s going to come down with it a lot of times,” general manager Joe Schoen said of Fields. “You saw that at Notre Dame. Again, a down-the-field target who can come down with the ball in contested situations. A big body in the red zone, again with that tremendous catch radius. That’s invaluable for a young quarterback.”

Tight end

Starter: Isaiah Likely, Theo Johnson
Backups: Chris Manhertz, Thomas Fidone II, Tanner Conner

After allocating a big chunk of the free-agency budget to Likely, the Giants didn’t do anything at tight end in the draft. But this depth chart is still projected on 12 personnel largely because of Likely’s reunion with Harbaugh.

Offensive line

Starters: LT Andrew Thomas, LG Jon Runyan, C John Michael Schmitz, RG Francis Mauigoa, RT Jermaine Eluemunor
Backups: OL Daniel Faalele, OL Lucas Patrick, G Aaron Stinnie, RT Marcus Mbow, G Evan Neal, C Bryan Hudson, C Reid Holskey, G Jake Kubas, G Joshua Ezeudu, OL J.C. Davis

The Giants used one of their first-round picks on Mauigoa, and the plan is to slot him in at right guard immediately. That puts the offensive line on much firmer ground after the team went into free agency with a lot of question marks about the group, especially the right side. Beyond bringing back starter Eluemunor and other depth pieces, the Giants added late veteran depth with Faalele and Patrick on one-year deals. But Mauigoa is different in that he is a much longer-term investment.

“A powerful young man with tremendous athleticism and size,” Schoen said. “To get those two young men (Mauigoa and Reese) that have size and athleticism and the makeup that we desire, and the fact that we know that we’re going to have those guys under contract for five years, to add to some of the young foundational pieces that we already have, I mean, it’s really exciting, really exciting.”

Defensive line

Starters: Roy Robertson-Harris, ?
Backups: Bobby Jamison-Travis, Darius Alexander, Sam Roberts, Elijah Chatman, Marlon Tuipulotu

Coming out of the draft, the one true question mark left for this roster is who will be starting alongside Robertson-Harris. The position room took a massive leap into the uncertain with the Lawrence trade, but the Giants didn’t add a defensive lineman until the sixth round with Jamison-Travis out of Auburn. He likely represents a more developmental piece. As Duggan reported, the Giants have hosted veteran defensive tackles DJ Reader, Shelby Harris and Benito Jones for visits in recent weeks. They have remained in contact with those players’ agents and are poised to act now. This room figures to get an update shortly.

Outside linebacker

Starters: Brian Burns, Abdul Carter
Backups: Kayvon Thibodeaux, Chauncey Golston, Caleb Murphy, Trace Ford

There was some smoke that this room could change significantly with a Thibodeaux trade going into Day 2 of the draft after the Reese pick. But that didn’t materialize, and he remains a valuable piece in a formidable pass rush. This room is one of the strengths for the Giants.

Inside linebacker

Starters: Arvell Reese, Tremaine Edmunds
Backups: Jack Kelly, Micah McFadden, Darius Muasau, Swayze Bozeman, Zaire Barnes, Cam Jones

The Giants’ inside linebacker room completely changed with the Reese pick, who will be used initially inside alongside Edmunds at the will linebacker spot.

“Our defense is pretty flexible, positionless, you might call it,” Harbaugh said. “We’ll have an opportunity to move those guys around. But he’ll line up next to Tremaine, and he’ll be in the A gap, the B gap, the C gap, the D gap, off the edge. He’ll be moving around with all of our guys. Abdul and Brian and Kayvon and Tremaine. We’ll be running games and picks and stunts and different things like that on passing situations, and he’s good in coverage as well, he’s a versatile player. He’s a young player. He’s gotten better every single year, playing off the ball and on the ball, so he does both.”

The Giants didn’t stop there, adding Kelly in the sixth round with a plan for his role.

“Jack will be more in the Mike mold, but he’s also a guy that can rush the passer off the edge, if you saw him at Weber State before he transferred,” Harbaugh said. “So we can move guys around and put him in different spots. He’ll play special teams. So we have a clear vision for him as well.”

Cornerback

Starters: Paulson Adebo, Greg Newsome II, Dru Phillips
Backups: Colton Hood, Deonte Banks, Korie Black, Art Green, Nic Jones, Rico Payton, Jarrick Bernard-Converse,

For now, I’m sticking with the three starters I had in the last big board, but I wouldn’t be shocked if this year’s second-rounder, Hood, quickly ends up with a starting role.

“Competing to start. That’s what he’s going to do,” Harbaugh said. “We got a cornerback room now. It’s amazing how one addition changes the math in a room. Cornerback room is good, but now it’s really good. He’s going to push everybody, and he’ll be — I know one thing, he’s planning on coming in here and trying to win a starting job.”

Safety

Starters: Jevon Holland, Tyler Nubin
Backups: Ar’Darius Washington, Jason Pinnock, Elijah Campbell, Beau Brade, Raheem Layne

The Giants passed on Caleb Downs — a decision they’ll be reminded of twice a year going forward as division rival Dallas traded up to select the safety. So the safety room remains the same for now after the team used the two first-round picks to invest in other areas of the roster.

Special teams

Starters: K Jason Sanders, P Jordan Stout, LS Zach Triner
Backups: K Ben Sauls

The special-teams room has undergone a complete overhaul that was finalized by the team releasing injury-plagued kicker Graham Gano. Given Harbaugh’s special teams background, the hope is this room becomes less of a liability than it has at times been recently.
