EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Dave Gettleman's résumé as New York Giants general manager isn't perfect. Far from it. There are misses in NFL free agency, unfortunate public declarations and a record that will make ownership shudder.
The area on which Gettleman was supposed to be able to hang his fedora was the draft, beginning in 2018. Although that group appeared promising after its rookie season, there no longer is the same optimism. Year 2 has not gone well.
It begins with the struggles of the "Gold Jacket" running back, Saquon Barkley, and filters all the way to the bottom.
