New York Giants

The New York Football Giants experienced some early-season highs — notably crushing the Eagles 34-17 in a Week 6 primetime masterclass — but injuries to alpha WR Malik Nabers and emerging stud rookie RB Cam Skattebo hurt the offense's overall upside, and the defense simply never lived up to the caliber that was expected given the plethora of talent available across the defensive line.

The good news: Rising second-year QB Jaxson Dart flashed in a major way as a rookie, and the front office has the No. 5 and 37 overall picks to add high-end talent in the 2026 NFL Draft. The bad news: The team has no third-round pick and minimal cap space to improve a roster that has plenty of holes worth addressing on both sides of the football.

Offensive Line: This is the league's 10th-cheapest unit entering 2026 — it's probably a good idea to do everything possible to limit the amount of hits on Jaxson Dart in the pocket considering the young signal-caller's lack of risk aversion on the move.

Secondary: It'd make sense if an improved scheme helps unleash what still looks like a lethal pass rush … on paper. But either way it's probably about time the Giants look to get a true difference-maker in their back-end.

Wide Receiver: This squad boasts the league's 10th-cheapest group of pass catchers as a whole when including tight ends ahead of 2026. Adding more resources in the draft — like Carnell Tate at pick No. 5 — in an effort to get the most out of Jaxson Dart is encouraged.
