The New York Giants are staring down a dismal 2–8 record, compounded by a winless 0–6 performance in the division. General manager Joe Schoen’s recent press conference offered little clarity on the team’s direction, leaving fans increasingly frustrated by vague responses and attempts to highlight a few bright spots in an otherwise disappointing season.
While the rookie class has shown promise, the fact that five of them are starting emphasizes the Giants’ severe lack of depth. Relying heavily on first-year players has exposed the team’s deficiencies and magnified the pressing need for experienced talent across multiple positions. Adding to the troubles is the ongoing quarterback crisis, which has proven to be a consistent thorn in the team’s side.
Giants’ Quarterback Situation and the 2025 Draft
The expectation is that the Giants will use their first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on a new quarterback, signaling the end of the Daniel Jones era. However, their decision-making at the recent trade deadline raises serious questions about the team’s strategy moving forward.
Missed Opportunities at the Trade Deadline
Instead of acquiring valuable draft capital by trading veterans such as wide receiver Darius Slayton and pass-rusher Azeez Ojulari, the Giants opted to stand pat. This echoes last year’s failure to secure assets for Xavier McKinney and Saquon Barkley before they signed with new teams. The lack of proactive moves continues to haunt the team’s future outlook.
