They added linebacker Tremaine Edmonds, tight-in Isaiah likely, and Punter Jordan Stout. With new coach John Harbaw leading the way, the team hopes these changes help second-year quarterback Jackson Dart grow. Still, early power rankings placed them low, between 21st and 27th overall. Analysts point out the Giants focused on size and versatility on offense early in free agency. Harbaw brought in some former Ravens players, which made sense given his background. They upgraded at linebacker by picking Edmonds over Bobby Ocariki and got a bigger slot weapon with likely replacing Wandel Robinson. Experts have mixed reactions to the moves. CBS Sports ranks them 25th, praising talent in key spots, but stressing Dart's development.

1:01Fox Sports and Sporting News both put them at 21st, saying the additions offer limited impact so far. NFL media slast them 27th, surprised by no big offensive line help, despite talk of reclaiming Evan Neal. They also need more on the defensive interior, and could target linebacker of sunny styles, or running back Jeremiah Love with the 5th overall draft. To pick, overall, the Giants have some roster talent but lack difference makers. A few more smart additions, especially in the draft, could make them competitive in Harbaw's first year.
