The New York Giants hold the fifth and seventh overall selections in the 2022 NFL draft and will be hosting most of the top prospects in their top 30 visits this spring.
Two of the top players at their positions — Michigan edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson and guard/tackle Ikem Ekwonu of North Carolina State — will be in New Jersey to visit both the Giants and the Jets, who draft fourth and 10th overall later this month.
Michigan DE Aidan Hutchinson and OT Ikem Ekwonu will visit both the Giants and the Jets as part of their limited pre-draft travel itinerary, as @AlbertBreer reported.
Obviously, both teams are likely to visit with most of the Top 10 picks. https://t.co/JYQJa6KLel

Hutchinson is likely to be gone by the time the Giants are on the clock at No. 5 but they are intent on doing their due diligence. It has been intimated that Jacksonville, who hold the first overall pick, are leaning towards taking Hutchinson but opinions have a way of shifting as the draft gets closer.
The Giants are in the market for a franchise pass rusher and Hutchinson could very well fill that need.
Ekwonu could very well be gone, too, but in most mock drafts he has been available to the Giants at No. 5. Should they take Ekwonu, they would likely play him at right tackle but there have been rumblings they favor Mississippi State’s Charles Cross.
