Last Off-season they signed Runyan JR to be starting LG, and Jermaine Elemunor to be starting RT. These weren't bargain signings they were 10+million players. Their Center is a 2nd rd pick. When their starting 5 were all healthy they performed at an above average level, at least according to PFF. Their depth was the biggest problem, which is why they signed 2 swing Tackles this offseason. RG is the one spot to potentially upgrade, but OL is not their biggest need. QB, and DT are far bigger needs. Their OL is far from great but is it is serviceable enough.... fair enough. the sample size of games I saw was small, and the line was not good in those games. I just assumed the line was still bad. Though in a cap world you still need to replace those 10 M players at some point. as signed free agents, Those guys are (I am guessing) a 2-3 year solution and because of their age, durability and good health wont be as good so depth is more important with guys like that starting. so drafting their eventual replacement should be a priority (just not an immediate one). but maybe you dont need to spend a first/second round pick. you can likely spend a 3rd or 4th rounder and develop them over a year or two while adding some depth to the mix. and yeah I can see the DT being a priority. The D was not that scary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At worst the O-line is average but a chance to be better during the 2025 season. They probably will address the O-line maybe round 3 or sometime in day 2. I still feel that they need a QB for the future but that probably won't happen this year. I just don't believe they're in love with Shadeur Sanders so even if he's there at 3 they should pass on him. Surely one of Jalen Carter or Travis Hunter will be there, preferably Hunter they should consider it. People probably think pick 3 is too high for Ashton Jeanty but if Hunter's gone they really should consider it. Plus they'd have an exceptional back on a rookie contract. I know, Iknow, the really kinda screwed Saquone Barkley but hopefully they've learned from that. Maybe they could move up into the back end of the first round and land Jaxson Dart but he should be gone within the first 20-24 picks. Maybe takea flyer on the QB Shough kid.

Their best OL in this group was Schmitz, with a 61.4 rating and was 35th among league Centers last year. Eluemunor had a rating of 63.2 which was 65th among 141 Tackles rated. Van Roten had a rating of 63.4, which was 61st among guards rated. PFN ranked their OLine as 28th. Sharp Football Analysis, had them ranked 32nd. Need a password for PFF, but I heard on the Fantasy sports channel on Sirius/XM that they had the Giants at 23rd. They apparently still have a pretty bad OLine and/or, really hope their players improve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
