The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and the Giants and Jets still have a lot of work to do. The Post’s Paul Schwartz and Brian Costello see the remaining holes to fill:
What the Giants could do on Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft
What the Giants will do on Day 2 of the NFL Draft
Friday should be a productive night for the Giants.
They have one pick in the second round (47th overall) and one pick in the third round (70th overall).
There is a clear need on the roster for a cornerback with starting potential, and that need will likely be addressed with one of these picks, most likely a second-round pick. .
Surprisingly, Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean was not selected in the first round, but could be a player the Giants could acquire in a trade.
There are other areas that need to be addressed.
Depth at offensive tackle is a concern, as is finding a safe starter.
With Saquon Barkley gone and Devin Singletary the only proven veteran on the roster, why not try a running back in the third round?

What the Jets could do on Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft
The Jets only have one pick entering the second day of the draft.
They don’t have a second-round pick, as they sent one to Green Bay in the Rodgers trade.
Their only pick is the third round, No. 72 overall.
The Jets gained additional draft capital in Thursday night’s trade with the Vikings, so they could trade to move into the second round if they wish.
The Jets, who had an offensive tackle in Game 1, will need to hit a wide receiver on Day 2.
If they play defense, safety will be a consideration.
