The Giants addressed their interior defensive line needs by signing undrafted free agent Casey Rogers, a sixth-year senior from Oregon.
The New York Giants didn't address their defensive line depth in the draft, either because they were confident in Jordon Riley and/or D.J. Davidson's development or because there were only so many picks to be made and not enough of them to cover every need.
The sixth-year senior played 770 snaps at defensive tackle for the Ducks over the past two seasons and lined up on special teams. Before transferring to Oregon, he played four seasons at Nebraska, where he grew into a consistent disruptor on the inside and an academic All-Big Ten honoree. He has a really good burst off the line of scrimmage, which he uses to get past an offensive lineman before they can latch on to him.
Using his hands more destructively would increase his effectiveness. Ultimately, when he creates pressure, he is rarely the one to finish the play.
