Herc Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 i wouldn't give us a C+ but i wouldn't go much higher than a B either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 i wouldn't give us a C+ but i wouldn't go much higher than a B either Agreed...a solid B thus far this offseason. Would've been an A- if we had retained either Tuck or Joseph on the d-line. I think letting one go was understandable...letting both escape I think will haunt us a bit in 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a B is solid for what we did but Tuck and Joseph were our best Dlinemen last season. We need Hankins, JPP, and Moore to really step up.

BlueInCanada Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I would say the FA for us has been a C++, I wouldn't really even give it a B- We got a starting corner, a RB who will split time with whoever starts and a bunch of ST help. Outside of that all we really got was depth at O-line, maybe a starting guard in Jerry. Now I'm not saying the Giant's could of done better, honestly they did I think the best job they could of done in free agency with what they had in terms of cap money and retaining and signing players, it's just there are still a lot of holes to fill come the start of the pre-season and all we really did was sign guys who are backups to the real talent (which we still need to find) on the team.

GA4M Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 They're such morons, you can only do so much when you're a team like NY. I'll give them a B myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team addressed some major issues, and got younger in the process. And they still have the draft plus additional free agency until 7/22 to round this team out. So far, so good. Schwartz and Thurmond were in my opinion the best signings from a value/$$$ standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I think of it as the newsworthiness grade. Most guys Giants go after in free agency lack the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Sports Illustrated is kinder to the Giants than ESPN....here's the scoring from S.I. Grade: B plus Best addition: CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Biggest loss: DT Linval Joseph The Giants made a lot of signings that didn’t explode off the page, but added talent and depth at several key positions. With cornerbacks Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Walter Thurmond in the fold, a secondary that was once a weakness now becomes a strength. Former Raiders and Jaguars running back Rashad Jennings is an underrated producer in a rotational role, and center J.D. Walton and guard Geoff Schwartz add considerably to an offensive line that has been breaking down over the last few seasons. General manager Jerry Reese did a fine job, and though the loss of Linval Joseph will be a problem, he can be replaced in a draft that has a deep class of defensive tackles.
