New York Giants receive positive grades for offseason moves | Sporting News

The New York Giants had a busy offseason looking to improve the roster as they enter the third season under Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen.

Despite losing some talent like Saquon Barkley
and Xavier McKinney in free agency, the Giants did well to bounce back in some of the additions they made.

In grading every team’s offseason moves, Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus gave the Giants a B+ grade for their work over the last few months.

New York’s best move this offseason was trading for Brian Burns, forming a legit defensive line trio with Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dexter Lawrence.

They lost Xavier McKinney and Saquon Barkley but reunited head coach Brian Daboll with running back Devin Singletary to quell the sting of Barkley’s departure. They also added a handful of offensive linemen in a much-needed overhaul.

I was a big fan of the Giants draft, as Malik Nabers, Tyler Nubin and Andru Phillips are impact players. They weren’t able to change their quarterback situation, but that wasn’t totally in their control.

Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report shared a similar sentiment even though the Giants didn’t address the quarterback position.

Knox gave the Giants a B+ grade in free agency and a B- grade for their work in the draft.

The Giants needed some change. While they didn’t use the draft to make one at the game’s most important position, they should enter 2024 as a more formidable squad.

We’ll see what’s in store for the Giants in 2024. They didn’t address the quarterback position, but their other moves should make them a better team moving forward.
