The New York Giants making the playoffs in 2019 after a 5-11 campaign last season seems like a tall task, but the reality is, it’s not impossible, and it’s actually more probable than one might think.
The Giants continued on their youth agenda this year, choosing to trade Odell Beckham Jr. in favor of draft picks to help secure multiple positions of need. Drafting interior defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence to hold down the trenches and acquiring safety Jabrill Peppers to play a diverse role in the secondary will help improve the team.
The bolstering of the offensive line will also prove to pay dividends for Eli Manning in the pocket and Saquon Barkley in the run game.
