Welp. With the No. 1 choose of the 2025 draft almost in hand, maybe their second century of existence will start significantly better than the way in which the primary one is ending.

Nabers set the workforce’s rookie receptions report Sunday, passing two fairly good gamers in Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley along with his 92nd catch of the season. “Kudos to me however … we didn’t win,” Nabers mentioned afterward. He’s doing injury in a troublesome state of affairs because the Giants and their offense stumble to the end line. Nabers is now at 97 catches for 969 yards with two video games remaining. So he’s nearly definitely going to high 100 catches and 1,000 yards, albeit whereas main the league in targets (155) and averaging simply 10 yards per catch.

The Giants are taking part in out the string with whoever is at QB, however they should do quite a lot of fixing in all places on protection. Having a great go rush means little when every little thing else breaks down.

The Giants are the NFL’s lone two-win workforce and they don’t appear to be a workforce that’s able to profitable once more this season. The Giants aren’t tanking, they’re simply horrible. It can seemingly make them the primary general draft choose and an vital selection at quarterback.

On one hand, I need to empathize with backup quarterback Drew Lock after his turnovers this week. After I play on All-Madden issue, I’m liable to make a few boneheaded throws and have some typically terrible pocket administration—even in opposition to the worst defenses within the recreation. New York’s offense has gotten so dry and uninspiring that even the throws focusing on Malik Nabers don’t create a lot response from followers or worry in defenses anymore. With the Giants at present holding on to the primary choose within the upcoming draft, although, the group might be simply fantastic with that.

This has been a season to neglect for New York. The Giants misplaced their tenth consecutive recreation on Sunday, dropping to the Falcons 34-7.
Fortuitously for the Giants, the Raiders defeated the Jaguars in Week 16, so New York has a terrific shot of touchdown the No. 1 general choose within the 2025 NFL Draft. PFN’s mannequin at present offers New York 41.3% odds of touchdown the highest choice.
Will probably be fascinating to see if the Giants half methods with head coach Brian Daboll. Whereas he’s had some robust outings, loads of franchises would love to rent him if New York fires him.
