Let’s look at how NFL analysts perceive the Giants as the page turns to 2025
Coming off a 3-14 season, the New York Giants are right where everyone should expect them to be in early 2025 NFL power rankings. Right near the bottom.
Let’s look at where a variety of post-Super Bowl rankings have placed the team Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll have built.
The Athletic (No. 30)
The Giants don’t have a quarterback under contract for the 2025 season so there’s little doubt they’ll be getting a new one. The question is: From where?
Pro Football Network (No. 30)
Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen kept their jobs despite a 3-14 catastrophe but are undoubtedly on thin ice in 2025.
ESPN (No. 31)
Describe this offseason in three words: Get a quarterback
It’s the Giants’ No. 1 priority this offseason by a wide margin. They need to find a solution for both next season and the future. The draft, free agency, trade, everything is on the table, according to owner John Mara. Considering the plan all along was to get a quarterback in the draft if Daniel Jones didn’t pan out, it’s a good bet the Giants will land one of the draft’s top options with the third overall pick.
Yahoo! Sports (No. 31)
The Giants can’t get off the ground without a QB. Will they draft one at No. 3 overall? Probably not, if quarterbacks go 1-2. And if that happens, what is the Giants Plan B at the position?
FOX Sports (No. 32)
It’s not just that the Giants need to massively upgrade their roster, and it’s not just that they played their way out of position for a top quarterback in the draft. I’m also curious about the vibes in that building, as Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll narrowly avoided getting fired in January. Coaches and executives with no job security often do dumb, desperate things to keep their jobs. The Giants can’t afford a major setback because their brain trust is worried about the wrong things.
