New York Giants 53-man roster prediction

The New York Giants (as well as the other 31 NFL teams) will trim their roster from 90 players to 53 players by 4:00 PM EDT on Saturday.

Unlike recent years, the Giants will have more linebackers on the team and less defensive lineman since they’ve switched to a 3-4 scheme. Here’s my projection of who the Giants’ 53 players will be:
