There are several areas of need, as evidenced by the New York Giants (5-11) woeful record this past season. The 2018 NFL Draft was top heavy in offensive talent, and most, if not all of the early draft picks look like legitimate NFL players.
At first glance, this draft looks to be more stocked in defensive talent, not necessarily a bad thing, if the G-Men manage their assets effectively. Notably, last year, Big Blue general manager Dave Gettleman eschewed taking a top quarterback prospect in favor of running back Saquon Barkley.
Gettleman also opined that he wasn’t enamored of the 2018 quarterback class over Barkley, even though USC product Sam Darnold was available to the G-Men at No.
