There is no question the New York Giants are taking a calculated risk with the offensive line unit this upcoming season, having failed to allocate more resources toward an injection of talent.
However, there is an argument to make that the line could play well above expectations, coming off a disappointing 2020 season where they ranked near dead last in the NFL and pass-blocking efficiency. They had multiple rookies starting at times, including at left tackle, right tackle, left guard, and a first-year center. The only established veteran who was considered an above-average talent was Kevin Zeitler, who they cut this off-season to save salary space.
