Okay, so, I’ve been diving deep into the upcoming NFL Draft, specifically focusing on what the New York Giants need. It’s been quite a ride, and I wanted to jot down my thoughts and what I’ve been up to.
First off, I started by looking back at the Giants’ recent season. It was rough, to say the least. A 3-14 record? That’s not what you want. I spent a good chunk of time reading articles and watching highlights, trying to pinpoint where it all went wrong. And boy, was it a lot of places.
Then, I moved on to figuring out what the Giants have now. Their current roster, their strengths, and especially their weaknesses. This involved a lot of list-making and comparing player stats. I ended up with a pretty clear picture: they’ve got gaps, big ones. Their defensive line is not deep enough, and their secondary, well, they were giving up big plays like it was going out of style. 68 plays of 20+ yards allowed? That’s not good. I also noted they need to get better at stopping the run and forcing turnovers.
After figuring out what they’re lacking, I started brainstorming about what they should do in the draft. I made lists of potential draft picks, looked at mock drafts, and even did a few mock drafts myself, just for fun. The more I dug, the more it seemed like a quarterback should be their top priority. Sure, there’s talk about J.J. McCarthy, but even he is not available now.
I even went down a rabbit hole researching about the draft order. I found out the Giants have the No. 3 pick. I looked up where the draft is this year – Green Bay. And learned about how the first 18 picks are set, but the rest depends on the playoffs. It felt like I was preparing for the draft myself!
Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:
- Watched game highlights from the last season.
- Read countless articles about the Giants’ performance.
- Made lists of the team’s strengths and weaknesses.
- Compared player stats to identify gaps in the roster.
- Brainstormed potential draft picks.
- Participated in mock drafts.
- Researched the NFL Draft order and location.
This whole process has been a mix of excitement and a bit of frustration. On one hand, it’s thrilling to think about how the draft could turn things around for the Giants. On the other, it’s clear they have a lot of work ahead. I’m really curious to see how it all unfolds. Will they get a game-changing quarterback? How will they address their defensive issues? Only time will tell. I’m already marking my calendar for April 24-26. It’s going to be an interesting draft, that’s for sure.
