This season has screwed up the path to get Arch Manning in '25.
I figured on a few years of suckage, giving us a few years of top 10 draft picks, but that's not going to happen. At least not in the '23 draft. Unfortunately picking in the mid 20's assumes you're a relatively good team and don't need a lot of help. Nothing could be further from the truth about the Giants. They need a of lot help, they just happened to have outplayed their roster talent this year. They never really beat anyone any good until the playoff game, and were 1-4-1 in the division. This is not a "one player away from being a contender" team. I'm hoping they come to some reasonable 2-3 year contract with Jones, tag Barkley, save some cap space for the future, and pick up some draft picks along the way.
Of course, this is assuming Daboll doesn't become McAdoo pt. duex, and Jones has really turned himself around and wasn't just playing for his future somewhere else.
