Along with offensive tackle Matt Peart, who was selected in the third round of the draft, Thomas is expected to provide protection for quarterback Daniel Jones. The 320-pound player was named to the first team All-SEC in both of the past two seasons.

New York added University of Alabama safety Xavier McKinney with its second pick, 36th overall. Through three seasons at Alabama, McKinney accumulated 175 tackles, six quarterback sacks, six forced fumbles, and five interceptions. The team bolstered its defense with its later picks, selecting players like cornerback Darnay Holmes (UCLA), linebacker Cameron Brown (Penn State), linebacker Carter Coughlin (Minnesota), and cornerback Chris Williamson (Minnesota).
