New York Giants headlines for Friday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
That’s a total of 11 position groups. Six are better than they were at this time last year, five are the same. None are perceived as worse. Four of the five defensive position groups are improved.
That should, theoretically, make the Giants a better team in 2025, which they hope leads to more wins. It seems pretty clear the Giants have a more talented roster.
5. NFC EAST: EAGLES, COMMANDERS, COWBOYS, GIANTS Cumulative over/under win total: 34
The NFC East sent both representatives to the NFC championship game last January, but those two teams — the Eagles and Commanders — are carrying most of the weight for the division as a whole.
As for the Giants, their quarterback situation remains unresolved, with three players currently in contention for the starting role. The offensive line hasn’t seen meaningful improvement, which raises concerns regardless of who starts under center. However, the additions of Paulson Adebo and Jevon Holland should help bolster a secondary that ranked 26th in coverage grade (52.5) last season.
Battle: WR4. Technically, the next man up is 2023 third-round pick Jalin Hyatt, but he’s coming off a lackluster season in which he tallied just eight catches for 62 yards.
The Giants’ approach in undrafted free agency — five of their 13 UDFAs, including the three highest-paid, were receivers — made it clear they’re still searching to beef up that position. The Giants recently hosted former Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Gabe Davis for a visit last week, Schoen confirmed on the “Up and Adams” show last week. Daboll and Schoen were in Buffalo for the first two years of Davis’ career. But the GM mentioned Davis’ injury history on the show. Davis tore his meniscus in Week 11, and Jacksonville recently cut him with a failed physical designation, so it seems Davis is likely still not fully recovered.
