The Giants had both the fifth overall pick and the seventh overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. Three years later, the jury is still out on whether either of those picks has a long-term future with the franchise.
New York General Manager Joe Schoen said the Giants haven’t make a decision on the fifth-year options for former No. 5 pick defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux or former No. 7 pick offensive tackle Evan Neal.
