New York Giants. 22. team. 31. . . Previous:

After a disastrous 2017 season and questions about quarterback Eli Manning’s long-term role, the New York Giants did something surprising, grabbing Penn State running back Saquon Barkley at No. 2 overall in the NFL Draft.

It might have been a reach, given how deep the draft’s running back class was. And while the Giants have no real plan of succession in place for Manning, at least he’ll fully understand his role this season.

Head coach Pat Shurmur’s offense should get the most out of Barkley, though, and it also should help revitalize the career of wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., as The Athletic’s Dan Duggan pointed out.

And with a revamped offensive line, the Giants offense could easily get back on track this year.

Can the defense get back to the form it was back in 2016, though?
