I’ve been feeling renewed lately. I’ve been feeling as though the Giants have a real chance to be successful next year. I think this, because the draft offers a great deal of promise. We struck gold with Beckham, but he is not the only gold that was even available that draft. There were starters drafted as late as the 6th round, and I believe the same to be true of this draft. There is a lot of talent in this year’s draft class though little at the QB position. I think the Giants find a talented future starter in round 2. I also think they address a number of pressing needs in the first round–perhaps even by trading down from the 6th pick if that allots them multiple first rounders. In short, there is hope yet, so long as they do right by the draft selections.
Another major issue here is the WR corps as it stands. They have every intention of going with quick slot wr’s and using the TE as a stretch. This could be playing right into the plan of developing a QB using quick and effective throws as he comes into his own in the offensive system.
I also would add that the dude Manning is better in the second year of a system. That will matter in the long run.
I’m going to allow myself to believe.
