Big Blue View
The New York Giants are getting ready for training camp, along with the rest of the NFC East. This is the fifth offensive position group in the NFC East Grading series, with only the quarterback position waiting to be graded. It’s THE LONG-awaited return of this series. The Eagles have 27 points, and the Giants are right behind at 25; Dallas has 10, and Washington has 18.
The best positional group is assigned four points, and the worst receives one point. Let’s talk about the interior offensive line in the NFC East!
Chris Paul, Nick Allegretti, Sam Cosmi, Andrew Wylie, Timothy McKay, Matt Gulbin, Julian Good-Jones, Tyler Cooper, Tanoa Togiai
Washington has an experienced interior offensive line consisting of Sam Cosmi, Nick Allegretti, and Chris Paul, with Andrew Wylie as the swing interior offensive lineman. Allegretti and Wylie — the two former Kansas City Chiefs — are competent veterans, with the former returning from an injury and a down season, while the latter started for Sam Cosmi, who was returning from a 2024 torn ACL. Cosmi is a respectable player who should perform at a higher level now that he’s a year removed from his injury.
Chris Paul had his best season last year, allowing just 17 pressures and two sacks in 926 total snaps. The overall line, though, lacks power and is full of veteran pieces for depth. The addition of Francis Mauigoa made this an easy decision to give the Giants two points over the Commanders, but New York’s interior offensive line will look much different after the 2026 season.
Points: 1
Jon Ruyan Jr., John Michael Schmitz, Francis Mauigoa, Daniel Faalele, Evan Neal, Joshua Ezeudu, Lucas Patrick, Jake Kubas, Aaron Stinnie
Jon Runyan Jr. and John Michael Schmitz may be playing their last seasons in New York, for there’s a high likelihood that John Harbaugh and Greg Roman look to add more players of Mauigoa’s archetype — big, brute, powerful blockers at the point of attack. Mauigoa will kick inside to right guard with Jermaine Eleumunor retained, giving the Giants more power on the interior than they’ve had in a while. Still, Runyan Jr. and John Michael Schmitz both have below-average power, with good footwork and technique. They’re effective, but not stellar.
New York has not resigned Greg Van Roten for depth. The competent veteran who comported himself well last season is still a free agent, but New York did bring back Evan Neal, Joshua Ezeudu, and Aaron Stinnie for a depth-camp battle that also includes Jake Kubas. Lucas Patrick will replace Austin Schlottmann, and Daniel Faalele was signed by Harbaugh to compete for depth as well. There’s solid depth on the interior for the Giants, but none is certain to play consistently competent football.
Points: 2
Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgans, Tyler Steen, Willie Lampkin, Micah Morris, Drew Kendall, Jake Majors, Hollin Pierce, Michael Jordan, Jaeden Roberts
Landon Dickerson is one of the best interior offensive linemen...
