2024 NFL Draft: Offseason Moves Scream Comeback for Giants

But they’re not done yet.

With the 2024 NFL Draft on the horizon, the Giants have their eyes on some top prospects to address key needs at wide receiver, offensive line and beyond. So, what will the Giants prioritize for the remainder of the offseason and the draft?

Worry Not, Giants Fans. New York Has a Plan for 2024

The NFL rumor mill has been churning out some juicy tidbits about the New York Giants’ offseason moves. After a roller-coaster 2023 season, the G-Men have been making some serious waves in the free agency market. The front office has been working overtime to plug some holes and bolster the roster for the upcoming campaign.

First things first, let’s talk about the two biggest elephants in the room, starting with the blockbuster trade that brought star pass rusher Burns to the Big Apple. The Giants shipped off a couple of draft picks to the Panthers and then promptly inked Burns to a massive 5five-year, $150 million extension. This move alone has Giants fans salivating at the thought of Burns terrorizing opposing quarterbacks.

Secondly, in a sad departure that many NFL betting fans could see coming for miles, the Giants said goodbye to fan-favorite Barkley, who signed with the division rival Philadelphia Eagles.

The team snagged running back Devin Singletary on a three-year, $16.5 million contract to help fill the Barkley void. Singletary has been a consistent performer and could be a perfect fit for fans looking to make some money betting on NFL props, rushing for over 800 yards in each of the past three seasons with the Bills and Texans.

But the Giants didn’t stop there. They also made some savvy signings to shore up the offensive line, bringing in guard Jon Runyan Jr. from the Packers on a three-year, $30 million deal with $17 million guaranteed. Runyan should slide right into the starting lineup and provide some much-needed protection for quarterback Daniel Jones.

The Giants also made some smart moves to retain some of their own key players, like re-signing wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins and cornerback Darnay Holmes. And while they did lose some talent, such as safety Xavier McKinney to the Packers and defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson to the Panthers, the front office has been proactive in targeting potential replacements.

All in all, the Giants have been making some serious noise this offseason. With a mix of big-splash signings, savvy re-signings, and a potentially game-changing trade, the G-Men look poised to make a run in the always-competitive NFC East.

With Six Picks, Giants Need to Play Draft Chess

Alright Giants fans, we covered free agency. Now it’s time we talk about the most important offseason event of the year, the draft. So, with New York only having six picks to work with, are you ready to talk about the Giants’ upcoming NFL Draft plan?

I’ll just start off by saying, yes, the Giants have their work cut out for them.

First, let’s address the team’s biggest, immense need, one that has been echoed by all NFL draft news sites – the Giants need a true No. 1 wide receiver. I mean, when was the last time they had an elite playmaker at that position? Odell Beckham Jr.? Yeah, it’s been awhile.

But fear not! The Giants have their eyes on some serious talent in this year’s draft class. Names like Malik Nabers from LSU and Rome Odunze from Washington have been floating around as potential first-round draft picks, and either one of them could be the game-changer the Giants offense so desperately needs.

But the Giants can’t stop there. They also need to continue bolstering that offensive line. I know, I know, they’ve invested high draft picks in guys like Andrew Thomas and Evan Neal, but when you allow a league-high 85 sacks in a season, you know there’s still work to be done. Don’t be surprised if the Giants target some nasty interior linemen like Dominick Puni from Kansas to help keep Daniel Jones upright.

Speaking of Jones, let’s talk about the quarterback situation. While the Giants are committed to Jones for 2024 as he recovers from that torn ACL, they’re not blind to the fact that they need to start thinking about the future. Don’t be shocked if they take a swing at one of the top QBs in this draft, like J.J. McCarthy from Michigan.

But it’s not all about offense, folks. The Giants also need to address some holes on the defensive side of the ball. They could use some fresh blood at linebacker and cornerback, especially after losing some key players in free agency. Keep an eye out for names like Junior Colson from Michigan and Khyree Jackson from Oregon as potential mid-round steals.

All in all, the Giants have their work cut out for them in this draft. But with six total picks and a clear plan of attack, I have faith that they can come away with some serious talent. It’s going to take a mix of impact players early and some savvy depth picks later on, but if the Giants play their cards right, they could be setting themselves up for success for years to come.
