The New York Giants have a long way to go before they can be considered a top team in the NFL, let alone an average one. Management has prioritized the offensive line and ensuring the unit is strong to help Daniel Jones maximize his talents, and Saquon Barkley burst through gaps in the running game. However, the defense remains the weakest link by a large margin. They have allocated plenty of resources toward reinforcing the unit, including the signings of Blake Martinez, James Bradberry, and drafting Xavier McKinney.
Despite these positive movements, the Giants’ defense ranked 30th in the NFL last year, and expecting them to make a significant jump is optimistic.
