A look at five undrafted rookie free agents with the best chance to make the New York Giants' 53-man roster.

The New York Giants ' roster is going through a transformation under new head coach John Harbaugh. He wants real "giants" and players who play a physical style and put the team first. The team brought in seven such players in the recent NFL draft and continued to add players afterwards during the free-agent period.

Here are five undrafted free agents who have the best chance at making the Giants' roster this summer. Cornerback Thaddeus Dixon The biggest weakness on the roster this offseason may have been at cornerback. The Giants addressed it early on in the draft by taking Tennessee's Colton Hood in the second round.

He's likely going to walk right out onto the field and become a starter from the jump. But, as we know, teams need a solid room these days that goes five or six players deep. The Giants don't have that, even with Hood, returning starter Paulson Adebo, and free agent add Greg Newsome II.

Dixon has size and length and plays with the aggressiveness Harbaugh likes. He was projected to be an early Day 3 pick in the draft, and somehow his name wasn't called. The Giants got a find here.
