Other Giant observations

Giants roster deep dive after free agency moves and NFL Draft | New York Post

For now, the New York Giants are largely what they will be when they open the 2024 season. Here is a position-by-position look at who remains, who is gone and who was added.

How much more explosive will Giants’ offense be in 2024? Brian Daboll’s job could depend on it | NJ.com

The Giants’ offense was a disgrace in 2023, amid significant quarterback attrition.

They finished 31st in Pro Football Focus’ offensive ratings. They had 44 passing plays of 20-plus yards. Just six teams had fewer. They simply must be more explosive in 2024.

The Giants made a necessary big addition to this unit when they drafted LSU’s Malik Nabers with the sixth overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. While he gives them a potential WR1, this is a team that didn’t have a single player command more than 80 targets a year ago. There will be a reasonable expectation that Jalin Hyatt can improve upon a rookie season that saw him flash big-play ability, while Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton are solid depth options. But looking at this roster, it would benefit from another depth signing at the position.
