It sounds like asshats and media had the Giants looking at WRs specifically Jeudy. Then Denver raised the price, does that mean NYG then went to plan B - Waller?
I think so and I dont think Jeudy is in the cards anymore. I cant see a 2nd round pick being used there.
I can understand the notion, of why didn't we sign this guy, he looks cheaper/same production but I think the Giants are trying to get their guys. Like Waller - he has question marks, but if he can execute close to what they are thinking - a Kelce type impact through Kafka, then watch out. All of us Giants fans are excited about the 2 TE sets.
When Waller is healthy he is what I thought Engram would be. He is really fast on the field. I also think he will get a ton of targets, watch out for him in fantasy.
I know everyone thinks the Giants aren't ready for the Super Bowl but imo once Jones signed that $160M deal, the SB was on for like right now. Resign Barkley, get some guys and lets hit a 2 year window to win it all and that includes this year.
Won a playoff game - division should get a little weaker, Giants win window is right now.
To further that I think edge rusher becomes more and more prominent - I think the Zach Allen interest was real and they will be looking at 5T and ER in Rd 1.
Two Smiths from GA - Keion White from GT a 5T that can get to the QB. Nolan Smith - pure speed off the edge. If the Giants want to win vs the Eagles/49ers, they will need a lot of heat off the edges.
As for any "windows", let's close the gap on the Eagles and Cowboys first. We're not even competitive with those teams.

This ^ Exactly!
Of course they are looking to win now. That is the point of playing the game.
Now there is a difference between winning and being Super Bowl contenders. Huge difference. Three free agent signings do not close the gap, very much, on the Eagles or Cowboys. Temper your expectations. Get realistic so you won't be surprised at another 9 win season in 2023. Getting to the playoffs two years in a row is a major step forward.
But when spending money and building a team, you have to be realistic and spend wisely. The Giants need to hit on another draft (or maybe 2) to have the talent.
Though, with Daboll running the show and the Giants history of over-achieving - who knows?
My hope is the focus now turns to versatile IOL (Dalton Risner) and perimeter CBs (Rock Ya Sin). Those both feel like 1 year deals.
And if we can, bring back Julian Love.
Playing chicken. You know who I would like to pry from DEN? Tim Patrick. He got hurt last year but he's a sleeper imo. That kid can play.
Grit, do you think the WR will be via trade or free agency?
When they thought they were ready to compete after a somewhat encouraging finish to the 2020 season under Judge and Graham , they went out and got a TE to complement Engram , spent 72M on a WR in Galloday, and then a first rd pick on Toney.
Yes different Regime but similar circumstances in the receiving core right now. This team still badly needs a vet lead dog at WR and possibly a 1st or 2nd round pick at the position as well.

I believe he is a part of plan A which is to get playmakers and good players. They still have a lot of holes in the WR room, I don't think they are done looking for good value.

Yeah, hopefully their decisions are a little better than the last group, but we need 3 good additions(FA, trade and draft w a premium pick). I still think the trade market is going to give us our best value.
I wish Waller was more dependable(staying on the field) and younger....but no one is doubting his talent....and a 3rd is worth the risk.....and to be honest, his cap is fine.
Love the MLB....I would love Calais on the cheap! Reunite with Wink!!! Nacho should be on a 3 DL set....
Corner is still a major need and they need to figure out what else is needed to solve OL!
