Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis could be a fit for the New York Giants in the NFL draft.
The New York Giants have yet to make news at the right guard position in free agency, and the latest NFL draft prediction corrects this issue for head coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Jaxson Dart.
ESPN NFL insider and draft expert Field Yates released a two-round mock draft on March 24, and he theorized that Big Blue would address right guard at No. 37 overall, selecting Texas A&M offensive lineman Chase Bisontis in round two.
“The Giants have a strong offensive tackle duo, but they must stockpile on interior offensive linemen to keep quarterback Jaxson Dart upright,” Yates reasoned.
Continuing: “Bisontis has excellent hands, is an athletic redirector in pass protection, and brings position versatility. He would really boost the Giants’ guard position, and he has prior starting experience at right tackle, too.”

Drafting Bisontis comes with a lot of built-in appeal. For starters, if his ability transitions over to the NFL level, he’s an immediate RG upgrade in terms of ceiling.
NFL Network draft expert Lance Zierlein described him as a “tough, well-schooled guard,” first and foremost.
“[Bisontis] lacks ideal length, but he brings heavy hands, good footwork, and plus core strength to the table,” Zierlein went on during a pre-draft scouting report. “He plays with ideal strain and stickiness to sustain blocks. He has plenty of nasty when he needs it, too, [and is] consistent as a move/zone blocker and when working downhill.”
Bisontis also fits what Harbaugh wants to do: run the football.
Zierlein admitted that his flaw, if any, is that he displays “slight levels of anxiety/hurry in his pass protection, with his lack of length a contributing factor.” But concluded that his pass protection is not far off from his strong run blocking prowess, projecting Bisontis as “a future starter with plenty of upside.”
Along with Bisontis’ potential, he provides even more positional versatility. And you can never have enough of that on the offensive line.
With Bisontis, the Giants would have at least six blockers who could play guard or offensive tackle, if needed. Jermaine Eluemunor, Evan Neal, Marcus Mbow, Aaron Stinnie, and even Joshua Ezeudu all fit that profile as a guard/tackle option.
That gives Harbaugh’s staff plenty to work with as they retool this offensive line in 2026.
Giants Passed on Guard in Early NFL Free Agency News
The Giants were reportedly in the mix for several top guards on the market in NFL free agency, but ultimately, the NYG brass did not feel the price tags matched the players.
For that reason, they passed on players like Alijah Vera-Tucker, Wyatt Teller, Dylan Parham, Zion Johnson, Isaac Seumalo, and more.
On the surface, this has seemingly aggravated most fans, but the Giants could be making a wise choice here. In the past, Big Blue has overspent on an interior offensive lineman like Jon Runyan Jr., who was a cut candidate earlier this offseason.
This time around, they’ve been patient, and that could lead to Harbaugh prioritizing the position on draft night.
There will be quality guard prospects on the board at No. 5 overall and No. 37 overall. There may even be decent starting-caliber guards who fall to round three or lower.
With that in mind, why overspend on a position when you could potentially draft someone with more upside in a month?
