PFF 101: The top 101 players from the 2024 NFL season | PFF

53. DI Dexter Lawrence, New York Giants. Lawrence continues to play like one of the best defensive tackles in football, earning a top-three grade at the position for the third straight season. In fact, he was the only interior defender in the league with 80-plus grades both as a pass-rusher and run defender in 2024. Lawrence’s nine sacks on the season were the third most among defensive tackles as well.

59. WR Malik Nabers, New York Giants. Nabers was the best receiver in college football last year at LSU, and he was the NFL’s best rookie receiver this season. His 1,204 receiving yards ranked seventh among all receivers in the league in 2024 while his 86.7 PFF grade was eighth. Nabers was especially dangerous after the catch, placing third in receiving yards after contact (256) and fifth in forced missed tackles (19). The Giants drafted an LSU receiver in the first round 10 years ago in Odell Beckham Jr., and it looks like they struck gold again with the same exact method.

Why the Giants’ path out of the NFC East abyss begins with the most obvious fix | New York Post

A team does not have to lead the pack in quarterback play, but it must not lag blatantly behind if it hopes to compete with those in its own backyard. This means the Giants have a ridiculous amount of catching up to do.

The Giants cannot hope to make any inroads in the NFC East with far and away the worst quarterback situation in their own division.

Dream Offseason Trade Scenario for Every NFL Team | Bleacher Report

Trade Up to No. 1 Overall. The Giants are hardly positioned to contend next year, and Stafford is not a long-term solution. If New York is going to start throwing picks around, it makes more sense to make a play for Tennessee’s first overall selection and a choice of quarterbacks. If If that’s all it takes and the Giants become enamored with Sanders or Ward, general manager Joe Schoen should go get his guy.

32 biggest NFL offseason questions: Will Cowboys give Micah Parsons a record deal? | FOX Sports

Who will their next quarterback be? If they had lost one more game, this would be an easy question to answer. But since they’re picking third in a two-team draft, there are some unknowns. Will either Cam Ward or Shadeur Sanders — generally acknowledged as the top two quarterbacks in the draft — slip to them at 3? Will they move up? Or will they dive into the free agent or trade market for a Matthew Stafford, Kirk Cousins or Russell Wilson? They may have to spend on a veteran no matter what, especially since free agency comes first.

Improving Giants’ cornerback position will be no easy task | New York Post

If finding a franchise quarterback is the Giants’ No. 1 offseason priority, upgrading at cornerback should be considered No. 1A.

What makes the medical evaluation component of next week’s NFL Combine so crucial for the Giants is that the prospects atop the 2025 cornerback draft class could be mistaken for the patients in an orthopedist’s waiting room, including Michigan’s Will Johnson.
