What does the nationwide media consider the New York Giants? Not a lot, as we’ve been seeing this offseason. Many consultants have proven little to no confidence within the Giants’ means to get again to the playoffs in 2024.
One such analyst is Jarrett Bailey of Landing Wire, who just lately broke the NFL down into seven tiers based mostly on how he sees them performing this coming season.
The Giants have been the final crew listed within the closing tier, which was labeled “Good Luck in 2025.” Bailey apparently sees them because the worst crew within the NFL with little upside to hold their hats on.
The Giants are a tire fireplace. They’re someway nonetheless doing the Daniel Jones factor, and their offense as an entire lacks any kind of star energy exterior of Malik Nabers. I’d label the Giants because the crew who can have the No. 1 choose within the 2025 NFL Draft.
Giants followers will disagree and solely a turnaround on the sphere after a 6-11 end in 2023 will change the hearts and minds of the critics.
The keys to a profitable 2024 for Large Blue: staying wholesome, which can result in extra consistency, and the cream rising. By that, we imply the entire excessive draft picks made the previous few seasons have to start out taking part in up their draft pedigree.
Normal supervisor Joe Schoen has loads using on this season, maybe all the things.
Exterior of left sort out Andrew Thomas, only a few of the crew’s Day 1 and a pair of draft picks have but to totally blossom.
That group consists of Azeez Ojulari, Aaron Robinson, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Evan Neal, Wan’Dale Robinson, Joshua Ezeudu, CorDale Flott, Deonte Banks, John Michael Schmitz, and Jalin Hyatt.
The Giants want some — or all — of those gamers to come back out this season and show they have been well worth the excessive picks used on them.
Going again to 2020, when Thomas was taken fourth general, the Giants used their second- and third-round picks in that draft on security Xavier McKinney and sort out Matt Peart.
McKinney was allowed to stroll through free company this previous spring and Peart just lately inked a one-year cope with the Denver Broncos.
As well as, the crew’s 2021 first-rounder, huge receiver Kadarius Toney, was traded away to Kansas Metropolis in alternate for third- and sixth-round draft picks. The Giants used that third-rounder to accumulate Las Vegas Raiders’ tight finish Darren Waller, who performed one injury-riddled season in Blue after which retired.
