Combine Focus: Inside Linebacker Needs

John Harbaugh is making his priorities clear for the New York Giants — and it starts with stopping the run. “It’s gonna be where it starts.” How will that identity shape the roster and defensive philosophy? Plus, how will the three-headed offensive brain trust of Bill Callahan, Matt Nagy, and Greg Roman build a true Giants-only offense instead of recycling systems from Tennessee, Kansas City, or Baltimore?

How does positional value factor into the Giants’ draft strategy? Are safety and running back making a comeback in today’s NFL? And could Kayvon Thibodeaux actually emerge as a trade possibility?

From the NFL Combine, we break down key player meetings with Sonny Styles, Anthony Hill Jr., and Clemson defensive lineman Peter Woods — who has trained with Dexter Lawrence. And finally, the toughest roster calls ahead: Should the Giants cut Bobby Okereke? Bring back Jermaine Eluemunor? What about Cor’Dale Flott and Wan’Dale Robinson?

We dive into the Giants’ defensive identity, draft philosophy, trade possibilities, and the critical decisions that will define the offseason.

Jay Berman, Patricia Traina, and Mark Collins break it all down on the latest edition of the Giants Squad Show.
