31. . . Previous: 24th. New York Giants. 26. team

The New York Giants aren’t good, but are they bad? I am going to tentatively go with yes, but I could be convinced otherwise.

Saquon Barkley is truly electric and with an improved OL in front of him, it seems like he could be in for a huge year. However, the Giants only let him run 11 times, despite him averaging nearly 11 yards per rush.

Why have such a great player and draft him 2nd overall and not ride him on offense?

Evan Engram is the other standout on offense and like some other teams near the bottom of this list, they have to find ways to really take advantage of these great players and scheme them into positions to succeed without being predictable.

Defensively I think they are horrific right now and with no speed or threat on the defensive line, teams are going to absolutely pick them apart throughout the year.
