Marquee additions: Brian Burns (LB), Jon Runyan Jr. (G), Devin Singletary (RB)
Marquee subtractions: Saquon Barkley (RB), Xavier McKinney (S)
Did the Giants hit their free agency goals? You can only do so much in one offseason, and the top priorities were to solidify the offensive line and improve the pass rush. They succeeded, even if they're worse off at running back and in the secondary as a result. But Burns is better than any pass-rusher that was on the market and the line has four new reinforcements.
One thing we heard: "Daniel Jones is the starter of this team," quarterback Drew Lock said at his introductory news conference. "That has been conveyed to me."
Biggest remaining roster hole: The Giants still don't have a No. 1 wide receiver for Jones. It may be addressed in free agency or via trade, but right now the group is headlined by Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt. -- Jordan Raanan

Dude is making $40 million and entering his sixth season. I just can’t help but laugh.
And we have no QB... that's kind of a big deal.

Kiper has jumped the shark. Very lazy now.
The draft is around the corner we and Schoen needs to land 4 of these pieces in the draft, which is unlikely.
I wonder if NYG will just sit at 6 and let the draft come to them. Take a WR at 6.
Try to trade back into the first for a QB?

I think that if the Giants can’t pull off a trade for NE’s pick, they might just conclude that they need to trade down to the Raiders (who might want to move ahead of Denver for the #5 QB in the draft). They would still be in a position to grab a receiving TE in Bowers or one of the next level of WRs.
Such a trade down almost certainly nets them a day 2 pick and likely a 1 or 2 from 2025, which could help in any potential trade-ups to get a top QB (assuming there is one) in 2025.
This is a bad bad bad team right now
We need to add a non NT DL.
We need an OT
The rest would be fill in after draft VSB and UFA
People still think Daniel Jones and Darius Slayton are serviceable NFL starters

If Schoen hits home runs in the draft and 2025 FA and draft we should be a competitive team at least in 2025.
We can only hope!!!

This has nothing to do with Jones but if you don't think QBs can and will develop 5-6-7-8 years into their career I don't know what else to tell you.
The more reps you get at anything the better you get at it. This applies to any and every skill in life. Even QB.
Eli had the best season of his life in year 8. Alex Smith did the same. Jones had his best season in year 4. I'd go on but you're probably already working on a retort that condemns DJ's 2022 season so we can stop now.
It got better in year 1 then suffered a setback in year 2. The trenches are better heading into year 3. Let's see how year 3 looks. If its better than year 2, that's a good sign things are taking shape.

I understand that excuses are never accepted. However, I don't believe that coach/fan speak BS. One thing about last year - everyone said going in that the league was majorly screwing over the Giants with the schedule (maybe payback for Mara comments). There's no doubt in my mind that the schedule played a big role in how lousy the momentum went.

But they are! But 40m for a serviceable starter is not good value, and with the injury risk he can’t be counted on. The team needs to find his replacement. But you don’t need make shit up to make your point better, it just takes away from it.
Giants pass rush will be much improved, with Ojularui as depth. They will look to draft Robinson's replacement and we will see how quickly Riley and Davidson develop. I'm thinking Riley is on the faster track.
We have wrs, some good young ones - they will draft a# 1 and an RB. IMO. it would help if Waller comes back to take some of the heat off the young pups.
There is progress and some setbacks - that's what happens during rebuilds.
Haha, this is precious. So let me get this straight. The multiple players in the NFL that actually compete against Jones that have commented on him are simply playing mind games, trying to mess him up mentally or something? They really think he’s awesome and are petrified to play against him? If this is the case, why aren’t all these players “playing mind games” with other, far more successful QBs? With this line of thinking, they may want to get started on calling Mahomes a one read QB and tell the world they know exactly where he’s going with the ball. Now would be a good time to play those mental games…
