Giants Odds to Win Super Bowl

For the second straight year, New York Giants’ general manager Dave Gettleman threw a curve ball with his team’s first round pick. The Giants turned a lot of heads by taking Daniel Jones with the sixth pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and there was possibly even more confusion when they selected Andrew Thomas with the fourth pick in this year’s draft. Thomas was the third or fourth rated offensive tackle on most boards, and only a handful of mock drafts projected him as a top ten pick. The success or lack thereof with those two picks will determine Gettleman’s future in the Big Apple.

The Giants weren’t terrible on offense last season considering they had a rookie quarterback under center. Daniel Jones proved he was better than Eli Manning after Manning started the first month of the year. While Manning threw six touchdowns and five picks through four starts, Jones completed 61.9 percent of his passes and threw for over 3,000 yards with 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

The rookie was largely boom or bust though. He torched Tampa Bay, Detroit, Washington, and the Jets through the air, but he was largely subpar against every other team. Jones is more mobile than he is given credit for, so it will be interesting to see how the Giants use that to their advantage in 2020.

Saquon Barkley missed three games last season, but one of the most exciting running backs in the league still finished with over 1,000 yards on the ground. Barkley averaged 4.6 YPC, and he was dangerous as a receiver out of the backfield too with 8.4 yards per reception even as most defenses focused in on him. If Jones can become a more consistent quarterback, that will help Barkley become one of the most potent running backs in the game.

This team doesn’t have great receivers. Golden Tate, Sterling Shepard, and Darius Slayton are all back, but none of the three wide outs made a huge impact in 2019. Evan Engram was primed to have a breakout season last year before a foot injury sidelined him for the last half of the year, and his return will give Jones a talented tight end.

The Giants’ defense may have taken a major hit as 2019 first round pick Deandre Baker’s status is in doubt for the upcoming season. Baker was arrested along with another NFL player for allegedly robbing a party, and he has been told to stay away with the team while the authorities try to sort out the matter. If he doesn’t play that will really hurt a secondary that was relying on him to take a major step forward in 2020.

New York’s defensive line was pretty reliable last season, and it could be even better this year. Dexter Lawrence showed why he was seen as the most talented defensive lineman on Clemson’s most recent national championship team, and Leonard Williams and Dalvin Tomlinson are very good. However, the linebacking corps is average at best, and that could be a major issue.
