The New York Giants continue their preparation for the 2023 NFL draft, which now lingers less than three weeks away. They sit at pick No. 25 with plenty of positions available to address.
The Giants were at the Clemson pro day (2.0) this week to scout some defensive linemen ahead of the draft.
I’m told reps from the Bills, Browns, Chargers, Giants, 49ers, Packers, Titans and Panthers were at yesterday’s Clemson workout for Myles Murphy and KJ Henry. #Panthers exec Samir Suleiman and scout Kaleb Leach were among the attendees for Carolina, per league source.

While Myles Murphy is likely to be gone well before the Giants pick at No. 25, general manager Joe Schoen could trade up if he somehow slips within range.
KJ Henry, on the other hand, is set to be a Day 2 or Day 3 selection and has been connected to the Giants in a recent Draft Wire mock.
The last time the Giants selected a defensive lineman out of Clemson it worked out pretty well, landing their superstar nose tackle Dexter Lawrence at 17th overall in 2019 — a pick acquired in the Odell Beckham Jr. trade.
Lawrence was the third Clemson defensive lineman off the board that year.
The Giants don’t have a glaring need along the defensive line in comparison to other positions but do not be surprised if Schoen does use the team’s first-round pick on a D-lineman.
