No. 4: New York Giants

Current Position in the NFL Draft: No. 2

Perhaps no other team in the NFL this season went through more turmoil and underachievement than the New York Giants.

Hello, head coach Ben McAdoo. Goodbye, head coach Ben McAdoo.

McAdoo’s controversial decision to bench veteran quarterback Eli Manning arguably got him fired, although Manning’s 2017 campaign hasn’t exactly been stellar. His 57.9 passer rating is the lowest of his career. And while a slew of injuries at wide receiver, paired with bad offensive line play, has played a role, one can easily suspect the soon-to-be 37 year old is regressing beyond the point of acceptability.

The Giants are going to endure a massive overhaul this offseason, and the pressure of being in New York will make this process all the more scrutinized.

Fortunately, it appears as if UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen has the Giants on his hot list of preferred teams, as indicated in the video below:

If that’s the case, it’s good New York is currently slated to pick second overall in the NFL Draft.
