Giants hanging onto wild rookie ride they couldn’t avoid

Youth may be wasted on the young, but it is not wasted around the Giants.

All the evidence needed to reinforce that this franchise is going through an extended period of rebuilding can be seen with the way the 2019 draft class has been utilized. It is a 10-player class and already, after only six games, six of the drafted rookies have NFL starts on their résumés.

This is either splendid or suspect. Getting rookies on the field is not necessarily an earned assignment. Sometimes it is a sign the roster is devoid of enough proven, experienced talent.
