Rookie mini-camp to be held Friday and Saturday
With rookie mini-camp practices being held on Friday and Saturday, it figures that some if not all of the New York Giants’ six 2024 draft picks will sign their rookie contracts in the next day or two.
That process began on Thursday when fifth-round pick Tyrone Tracy Jr., a running back, signed his rookie deal.
Tracy played wide receiver at Iowa for four seasons before transferring to Purdue and transitioning to running back.
NFL rookie contracts are slotted. Tracy’s four-year deal will be worth $4.306 million, an average annual value of $1.076...

PFF continues to love the Giants’ draft
Pro Football Focus analyst Trevor Sikkema has already heaped praise upon the New York Giants for their work in 2024. And on Thursday he named the Giants’ rookie class as one he believes will be among the NFL’s most productive.
Sikkema doesn’t really break any new ground in the piece. He doesn’t grade or evaluate the classes as a whole, nor does he try to forecast just how productive the rookies will be. Instead, he says, he’s trying to project which classes will get the most production from their rookies.

After the draft and majority of free agency there are a lot of questions that Giants fans still have about this team and how they are going to play. There are still many holes in this Giants team but it is still important to take a look at some of the teams position groups.
How will the Giants utilize new offensive weapon Malik Nabers?
Although the Giants offense has not been the best for the Daniel Jones era there is one constant that has remained throughout it. The Giants have never given Daniel Jones a true number 1 wide receiver....

Nabers will need help from Daniel Jones and Drew Lock to win this wager
Former LSU teammates Malik Nabers and Jayden Daniels, have a friendly wager on which of them will become NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Nabers, the wide receiver drafted No. 6 by the New York Giants, and Daniels, the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback selected No. 2 overall by the Washington Commanders, apparently have a $10,000 bet on the winner.
Daniels was asked about the apparent bet on ‘All Facts No Brakes with Keyshawn Johnson.’
“Man, he [Nabers] wasn’t supposed to tell nobody,” Daniels said. “We got a...

The New York Giants have already shown that they are looking for offensive weapons this offseason, as evidenced by their actions in free agency and the 2024 NFL draft. But they aren’t done yet.
The Giants are still adding bodies to the roster and on Thursday, signed veteran wide receiver Allen Robinson, who was cut from the Pittsburgh Steelers in a cost-cutting move in March.
Robinson was drafted in 2014 by the Jacksonville Jaguars where he spent four years. After that, he was with the Chicago Bears for four years, the Los Angeles Rams for a year, and the Pittsburgh...

Giants passed on QBs they didn’t love, and added talent to the roster
Before the 2024 NFL Draft, Pro Football Focus draft analyst Trevor Sikkema told Big Blue View that he thought the New York Giants were “desperate” to get a quarterback. The draft didn’t work out that way.
The Giants fell short in an effort to trade up for Drake Maye, then bypassed J.J. McCarthy at No. 6. Sikkema returned to ‘Valentine’s Views’ on the Big Blue View YouTube Channel this week to discuss that decision by GM Joe Schoen and to break down the entire draft class.

Giants continue adding pass catchers
The New York Giants continued to add to their wide receiver room on Thursday, announcing the signing of veteran receiver Allen Robinson.
Robinson, who will be 31 this season, started all 17 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2023. He had just 34 receptions for 280 yards, and averaged a career-low 8.2 yards per catch.
A 2014 second-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Robinson has 562 career receptions for 7,028 yards (12.5 yards per catch), with 43 touchdowns.
Robinson has had three 1,000-yard receiving seasons in his 10-year career. He had 98...

The New York Giants are widely regarded as having conducted a successful draft in late April.
General manager Joe Schoen made six picks and addressed multiple areas of need, most notably selecting a true No. 1 wide receiver with Malik Nabers in Round 1. But he’s drawn praise for several other picks as well.
Running back Tyrone Tracy has been the focus of much hype and tight end Theo Johnson has also warranted some attention.
Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus recently broke down his best picks from each round and honed in on cornerback Andru Phillips in Round 3...

It’s a sure to be wrong mid-May roster prediction
The New York Giants don’t have to set their initial 2024 53-man roster for another four months. They haven’t held OTAs, mini-camp, training camp or had any preseason games. It’s waaaaaay too early to be speculating about the 53-man roster.
Right?
Well, yes. But, we’re doing it anyway.
Here is a very early, probably way off the mark, look at how the roster could turn out. It is designed, really, just to highlight where there is depth, where the roster could still use help and where they will likely be competition....

This week on the Giants Wire Podcast, we recap the 2024 NFL draft and discuss the six selections made by New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen.
The Giants reportedly attempted to trade up for a quarterback but fell short. Did Schoen make enough of an effort? Was Malik Nabers over J.J. McCarthy the right pick at No. 6 overall?
How will the rest of the team’s draft class impact the 2024 regular season?
Additionally, former Giants general manager Dave Gettleman emerged from his hiding spot to throw some shade. What do we make of his “clown” comments? Did he...

When was the last time the New York Giants had an impact rookie on their roster? 2018 with Saquon Barkley? 2014 with Odell Beckham Jr.?
This year, with Malik Nabers — the LSU star receiver the Giants selected with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft — they could finally have another one.
Mike Clay of ESPN is predicting a productive season from the fleet rookie this fall.
Clay is projecting that Nabers and Marvin Harrison, Jr (taken fourth overall by Arizona) will both follow the path of several other wideouts taken in the top 10 and put...
