Examining PFF’s Off-season Schedule for the New York Giants

Pro Football Focus recently came out with its 2024 NFL Off-season Blueprints for every team, so I thought I’d look at what they have for the New York Giants and offer my thoughts. Note: I’ve looked at every category except their five-round mock draft only because, so far, the mocks I’ve done haven’t gone past three rounds. The bulleted players are PFF’s picks. I give my feedback afterward.

While I agree that Barkley and McKinney are among the top free agents (even though I don’t see them being able to re-sign McKinney), I disagree about Jackson, even though I see the logic behind the selection. If Jackson isn’t re-signed, that creates a hole at CB2, but with that said, it’s been pretty clear since last year that the Giants don’t intend on having Jackson back since they never adjusted his mammoth, space-eating contract.

My third choice would have been linebacker Isaiah Simmons. Simmons did many little things well for the Giants in their “one-year rental” of his contract and worked himself nicely into the various sub-packages.

Nope, sorry. I disagree with this choice, and it has nothing to do with Samuel or the quality of the player he is. The 2024 draft class is loaded with receivers, and several early mocks have one of LSU’s Malik Nabers or Washington’s Rome Odunze falling to the Giants at No. 6 (assuming they stay there).
