New York Sports Nation

2d ago
The 2024 NFL Draft is over. The Giants collected arguably the top wide receiver, a solid tight end, and a running back who, after switching from receiver, averaged 6.3 yards per carry last year. Drafted players are expected to make the roster, but every year, the front office and scouting staff look to find a diamond in the rough—that prospect from the undrafted free agent (UDFA) class—that next Victor Cruz.  Now is the time to root for the underdogs, those players who were not drafted. With the Giants having just six picks in this draft, they had plenty of time to get on the phones and s ..read more

With the draft over, most of the Giants’ 2024 roster is likely set. That said, it isn’t completely set. The Giants still have holes on this roster, even post-draft. It is also important to note that while we may have our predictions for the Giants’ draft picks, we truly don’t know how these players will turn out. With all this being said, let’s take a look at the Giants’ biggest needs post-NFL draft. Before I start, I’m not going to mention QB.  Daniel Jones is likely the starting quarterback, with Drew Lock backing him up.  Joe Schoen reportedly attempted to trade up to draft Drake ..read more

After months of going back and forth between many options, the Giants finally have made their selection of Malik Nabers with the 6 pick. This pick required the Giants front office to make a big decision. With many analysts thinking that the Giants would select a quarterback or even trade up to get Drake Maye, this selection may have come out as a shocker since the Giants have had some major quarterback troubles last season. Malik Nabers, a wide receiver from Louisiana State University, has been turning heads with his playmaking ability and athleticism. Standing at 6’3″ and lightning-fast speed ..read more
