The Giants.com crew is presented with four statements and must decide whether they are Fact or Fiction.

The biggest need remaining on offense is at guard.

John Schmeelk: Fact – The Giants have a lot of players on the roster that could potentially play guard: Aaron Stinnie, Evan Neal, Josh Ezeudu, and maybe even second-year tackle Marcus Mbow. But there will be a competition. I would still expect the Giants to bring in more veteran experience to raise the floor of the position group. Greg Van Roten, a player who started and played every snap at right guard, is still a free agent. The Giants could also potentially target a guard in the first two rounds with Penn State's Vega Ioane a likely first-round selection, and Oregon's Emmanuel Pregnon and Texas A&M's Chase Bisontis potentially falling to a nice sweet spot at pick No. 37. It's also important to note that both Jon Runyan and John Michael Schmitz are free agents after the 2026 season, meaning right now besides Mbow, no other players are under contract at guard and center with any meaningful experience. It is a huge need.

Dan Salomone: Fiction – They currently have 13 players at the position, but wide receiver is up there. It will be interesting to see how the room shakes out over the next five months. Wan'Dale Robinson's 185 catches over the past two seasons are the seventh-most in the NFL. That's a lot of production to make up after Robinson left in free agency, even with a Malik Nabers getting back on the field.

Matt Citak: Fact – The Giants have four of their five starting offensive linemen set to return this season, with the lone exception being right guard Greg Van Roten. Whether or not the 36-year-old does eventually return, guard would still be the biggest need left on offense. The Giants have their tackles locked in for the foreseeable future with Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor. But left guard Jon Runyan Jr. and center John Michael Schmitz are both entering the final years of their respective contracts. Combine that with the current hole at RG and it's easy to see why the interior offensive line is the biggest remaining need on offense.

The biggest need remaining on defense is interior line.

John Schmeelk: Fact – Micah McFadden, Greg Newsome II, Jason Pinnock and Ar'Darius Washington filled potential holes on the second and third levels of the defense, but defensive tackle remains a position of need. Rakeem Nuñez-Roches is still a free agent, and the Giants have only added journeyman Sam Roberts to a room that features Dexter Lawrence, veteran Roy Robertson-Harris, unproven youngsters Darius Alexander and Elijah Chatman, and Marlon Tuipulotu. Chauncey Golston is a hybrid edge/defensive end. Like guard, it would make sense to sign a stop-gap player for 2026 and draft a potential three-technique to compete with Alexander next to Lawrence in the future.

Dan Salomone: Fiction – Similar to my first answer, defensive back will be an intriguing room to follow. Defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson has a background in the secondary, where the Giants had nine different players start multiple games last season. Things are far from solidified there.

Matt Citak: Fact – The Giants did a good job in free agency of addressing some of the team's needs on defense, including linebacker and secondary. With Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux returning, the Giants are currently in good shape on the edge, too. That just leaves the interior defensive line. Dexter Lawrence anchors the middle of the unit, and the Giants do have some interesting options to play alongside him, including Darius Alexander and Roy Robertson-Harris. But we know stopping the run will be a big emphasis with the new coaching staff, and what better way to do that than by adding a huge, run-stuffing defensive tackle?

There will be a trade in the top 10 of the draft order.

John Schmeelk: Fiction – I could easily be proven wrong here, but usually in years where there aren't a ton of players at premium positions, trades in the top 10 become unlikely. If one of the top edges like Rueben Bain, David Bailey or Arvell Reese start to slide, a trade up becomes more likely if a team craving a top pass rusher gets desperate. Another team to watch is the Dallas Cowboys, who own two first-round picks (12 and 20) and just acquired a third-round pick for Osa Odighizuwa. They are desperate for a defensive playmaker, and if one of the edges (Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs or Mansoor Delane), linebacker Sonny Styles, safety Caleb Downs or cornerback Mansoor Delane start to slide, I could see them trying to move ahead of the Bengals and Chiefs to grab one of those players. They are in win-now mode given Dak Prescott's age and still have work to do remaking their defense.

Dan Salomone: Fact – The "positional value" debate continues to dominate the top of the draft given the nature of the elite prospects. It could lend to some volatility as we get closer to draft night, not to mention it takes only one team to go all in and move up for a quarterback.

Matt Citak: Fact – Every year, we see a quarterback or two sneak their way up draft boards as we get closer to draft day. As of now, Fernando Mendoza is locked into the No. 1 spot. But beyond the Indiana quarterback, no other signal-caller is projected to go in the top 10. Could Alabama's Ty Simpson move up after his strong pro day? It's possible, and with the Dolphins sitting at No. 11, a team interested in Simpson might have to jump into the top 10 in order to get him. I think there's a better chance a team trades up to select Jeremiyah Love, Sonny Styles, Arvell Reese or Caleb Downs, though. And in order to get any of those four players, a team will most likely have to move up or into the top 10.

There will be more offensive players drafted in the top 10 than defense.

John Schmeelk: Fiction – The top 10 should lean defense with three edge players (Bain, Bailey, Reese), one cornerback (Delane), one safety (Downs) and one off-ball linebacker (Sonny Styles) all going in the top 10. It is certainly possible that one of those players drop out of the top 10, but I think is less likely that they do. On offense, Fernando Mendoza and Jeremiyah Love will almost certainly be top 10 picks. The other players in consideration would be offensive linemen Francis Mauigoa, Spencer Fano and Vega Ioane, and wide receivers Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon. I will be interested to see if more than two of that second group of five figures out a way to knock one of those defensive players out of the top 10 of the draft.

Dan Salomone: Fiction – If you go by players who are locks to be taken in the top 10, you're probably talking two, maybe three players on offense. The other side of the ball is a different story. I'll take defense on this one. There are too many big hitters there.

Matt Citak: Fiction – It's going to be close, and there's a good chance it ends up being a 5-5 split, but I'm going to give the slight edge to the defensive side of the ball here. Mendoza, Love, and Carnell Tate should all be top 10 picks. Outside of those three, though, it remains unclear. It wouldn't surprise me to see Jordan Tyson, Francis Mauigoa, and/or Spencer Fano to make their way into the top 10, but that is far from guaranteed. On the defensive side of the ball, guys like Reese, Styles, Downs, David Bailey and Rueben Bain all have a strong chance of being among the first 10 picks. I'll take a guess that one of the cornerbacks, likely Mansoor Delane but possibly Jermod McCoy, end up being the sixth defensive player taken in the top 10.
