The final 53 man roster is not done yet
The final 53 man roster is not set in stone yet, there will be a bur of tweaking over the next week or so.
Firstly I think there will likely be trades, in this case a LB and perhaps a WR (likely for future draft picks).
I think 9 LBs and perhaps 7 WRs is too many particularly when you will have 8 players inactive on game day.
I think it is a case of Reese wanting to make sure he gets value for these guys with talent, he isn't going to five them away.
There are a few positions the Giants will want to upgrade if the opportunity presenrs itself. I think they will ideally want to bring in another DB, perhaps a safety like Brian Pollard (Chiefs) or Courtney Greene (Seahawks) who will improve safety depth and provide a valuable special teams role.
Other positions that the Front office will look to upgrade if possible are #4 DE (Tollefsen), #5 DT (Douzable) and #3 TE (Johnson); in fact we are reportedly already bringing in TE Alex Smith (Pats/Bucs) for a visit, I think he would be a great fit for us.
Other guys we may be looking at include DE Tim Crowder (Broncos) and DT Shaun Smith (Lions/Browns)
we could also include trading for players (instad of picks), for example Chiefs DE Tamba Hali who is better as a 4-3 DE rather than a 3-4 OLB.

Re: The final 53 man roster is not done yet
I guess my ideal roster moves would be
Trade LB Gerris Wilkinson for DE Tamba Hali (Chiefs)
Sign DT Shaun Smith
Sign SS Brian Pollard
Sign TE Alex Smith
releaseDerek Hagan/Tutan Reyes (probably Reyes)
that would give us a roster something like:
Offense (26)
QB (2): Eli Manning, David Carr
RB (3): Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw, Danny Ware
FB (1): Madison Hedgecock
WR (7): Domenik Hixon, Steve Smith, Mario Manningham, Sinorice Moss, Hakeem Nicks, Ramses Barden, Derek Hagan
TE (3): Kevin Boss,Darcy Johnson, Alex Smith, Travis Beckum
OL (910): Shaun O'Hara, Chris Snee, Rich Seubert, Kareem McKenzie, David Diehl, Kevin Boothe, Tutan Reyes, Guy Whimper, Adam Koets, Will Beatty
Defense (25)
DL (9): Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, Fred Robbins, Barry Cofield, Mathias Kiwanuka, Chris Canty, Rocky Bernard,Dave Tollefson, Leger Douzable, Tamba Hali, Shaun Smith
LB (.8.): Antonio Pierce, Danny Clark, Chase Blackburn, Michael Boley, Gerris Wilkinson, Clint Sintim, Zak DeOssie, Jonathan Goff, Bryan Kehl
DB (8 9): Corey Webster, Aaron Ross, Michael Johnson, Kenny Phillips, Kevin Dockery, Terrell Thomas, C.C. Brown, Brian Pollard, Bruce Johnson
Special Teams (2)
K (1): Lawrence Tynes
P (1): Jeff Feagles
Trade LB Gerris Wilkinson for DE Tamba Hali (Chiefs)
Sign DT Shaun Smith
Sign SS Brian Pollard
Sign TE Alex Smith
