Giants minicamp is over, and with training camp looming next month, the roster is beginning to take shape around quarterback Eli Manning, rookie running back Saquon Barkley, recuperating wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., and safety Landon Collins and defensive end Dalvin Tomlinson.

Meanwhile, position battles should intensify at center, cornerback, and for the starting outside receiver job opposite Beckham.

Here's our latest projection for how the roster will look once the season kicks off:

QUARTERBACKS (3)

1. Eli Manning

2. Davis Webb

3. Kyle Lauletta

Don't Edit

By passing on Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, and Josh Rosen in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Giants are fully committed to Eli Manning, with a wealth of talent at the skill positions. Barkley, the No. 2 overall pick, Beckham, receiver Sterling Shepard and tight end Evan Engram help form what should be an efficient offense.

Meanwhile, backup QB Davis Webb has shown arm strength, accuracy and ball placement this spring and seems poised to make an impact if injury strikes Manning. When the time comes, Webb could be Manning's successor.

RUNNING BACKS (3)

1. Saquon Barkley

2. Wayne Gallman

3. Jonathan Stewart

Saquon Barkley has all the trappings of a three-down bell-cow running back who rarely comes off the field, but when he does, look for Wayne Gallman to flash plenty of speed while also being a dangerous threat out of the backfield catching the ball as Barkley is.

Here's what we learned from Giants minicamp

WIDE RECEIVERS (6)

1. Odell Beckham Jr.

2. Sterling Shepard

3. Cody Latimer

4. Hunter Sharp

5. Travis Rudolph

6. Roger Lewis

Don't Edit

Beckham was cleared to return to practice during last week's minicamp and, when jumping, running and cutting during individual drills and extra reps with Manning, showed no ill effects of a shattered ankle suffered in Week 4 last season.

Meanwhile, Cody Latimer, Hunter Sharp, and Travis Rudolph are competing for a starting outside job opposite Beckham, with Sterling Shepard in the slot.

Don't Edit

TIGHT ENDS/FULLBACKS (5)

1. Evan Engram

2. Rhett Ellison

3. Jerrell Adams

4. Shane Smith

5. Kyle Carter

Don't Edit

Barkley never a fullback to run behind at Penn State, and that likely will change with the Giants.

Don't be surprised if Rhett Ellison, Shane Smith, Kyle Carter, and Jerrell Adams all make the roster. The Giants could run two-tight-end sets and use a fullback, which many teams across the NFL are eliminating.

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (9)

LT - Nate Solder, Chad Wheeler

LG - Will Hernandez, John Greco

C - Jon Halapio, Brett Jones

RG - Patrick Omameh, John Jerry

RT - Ereck Flowers

Don't Edit

After returning to the offseason program for the final OTAs and praticing during mandatory minicamp, former left tackle Ereck Flowers -- at first unhappy with his forced position change -- is impressing teammates and coaches at right tackle.

The additions of linemen Nate Solder and Patrick Omameh in free agency, along with second-round draft pick Will Hernandez, should strengthen one of the leakiest offensive lines in the NFL last season.

Don't Edit

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6)

DE - B.J. Hill, Kerry Wynn

NT - Damon Harrison, Robert Thomas

DE - Dalvin Tomlinson, R.J. McIntosh

* Josh Mauro (Will begin regular season serving 4-game suspension)

Don't Edit

Damon Harrison is among the premier defensive tackles in the NFL, and the Giants doubled down on adding depth along the line alongside him by taking both B.J. Hill and R.J. McIntosh in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Hill has taken a bulk of the first-team reps at defensive end opposite Dalvin Tomlinson in recent weeks, and should have an immediate impact in the defensive line rotation.

Don't Edit

Will Hernandez enjoys being Saquon Barkley's bodyguard, but why so many practice fights?

LINEBACKERS (8)

SAM - Olivier Vernon, Avery Moss

ILB - B.J. Goodson, Mark Herzlich

ILB - Alec Ogletree, Ray-Ray Armstrong

WIL - Lorenzo Carter, Kareem Martin

Don't Edit

Not only are the Giants moving to a 3-4 this season, but the offseason saw general manager Dave Gettleman commit to the linebacker position far more extensively than his predecessor Jerry Reese had in recent years.

Alec Ogletree was acquired via trade, and will quarterback the defense from the inside linebacker spot, and third-round draft choice Lorenzo Carter has a legitimate chance to be a Week 1 starter.

Meanwhile, Olivier Vernon moves to outside linebacker from defensive end which should give a pedestrian pass rush a significant boost.

Don't Edit

CORNERBACKS (6)

1. Janoris Jenkins

2. Eli Apple

3. William Gay

4. Curtis Riley

5. Grant Haley

6. B.W. Webb

Don't Edit

Janoris Jenkins has the chance to be an All-Pro at cornerback, and Apple must rebound from what was a disastrous season both on and off the field in 2017, but if he does it would go a long way towards stabilizing the secondary.

Undrafted rookie free agent Grant Haley should be in the mix for the starting nickel job, where he thrived as a three-year starter and former captain at Penn State.

SAFETIES (4)

1. Landon Collins

2. Andrew Adams

3. Darian Thompson

4. Michael Thomas

Don't Edit

An argument can be made that Landon Collins is the Giants' most dominant defensive player, and being utilized both as a safety and hybrid linebacker by new defensive coordinator James Bettcher could elevate his game to another level.

Meanwhile, look for Andrew Adams to make a strong push to regain his starting job this season.

Michael Thomas adds a significant boost on special teams as well as depth at safety.

Don't Edit

SPECIALISTS (3)

K - Aldrick Rosas

P - Riley Dixon

LS - Zak DeOssie

Aldrick Rosas showed off impressive distance and accuracy during minicamp, and he should hold down the kicking job, while Riley Dixon who was acquired in a trade with the Denver Broncos handles the punting duties. There doesn't appear to be any end in sight for Zak Deossie's tenure as the Giants' long-snapper ...
