Despite some success in 2020, many questions still surround the 2021 iteration of the team.

So far this offseason, the usually frugal Giants and General Manager, Dave Gettleman has spent a lot of money. Hello Kenny Golladay, John Ross, and Kyle Rudolph, and first round draft pick, Kadarius Toney. Golladay this year’s top free agent, will provide speed, size, and athleticism on the outside. Traits which very few Giants receivers have had since Odell Beckham Jr.

Kyle Rudolph provides a big second option at Tight End, something Giants franchise QB Daniel Jones has been lacking since inheriting the reins from Eli Manning.

As for John Ross and Kadarius Toney? Well, I see two young guys with a TON to prove. Ross, a burner coming off some injuries in Cincinnati, and Toney, a rookie the Giants hope to use everywhere on the field.

With the improvements on the offense, the Giants signed Danny Shelton and Ifeadi Odenigbo to enhance the defensive line, and replace Dalvin Tomlinson, who departed for Minnesota in free agency. Add to that linebacker Ryan Anderson and Cornerback Adoree Jackson, it shows the Giants have done a ton to improve the team and give Patrick Graham, Jason Garrett and Joe Judge a lot of hope and optimism heading into the coming season.

Unfortunately, this is all on paper. I can’t wait for training camp to start to see all these guys go to work!

But….that doesn’t answer the Giants two biggest questions heading into the season, Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones.

For Barkley, coming off an ACL tear, can he finally be the explosive back Gettleman hoped for when he drafted him No. 2 overall in 2018?

Can Daniel Jones, another Gettleman early draft pick, can he take that next step, distinguish himself and lead the Giants, something the fanbase has been clamoring for and endlessly debated since Jones was drafted.

I believe the answer to both of these questions has one answer, the offenseive line.

The Giants young offensive line made some progress in 2020 with cornerstones Andrew Thomas, Matt Peart and Shane Lemieux. However, Kevin Zeitler became a cap casualty and was released. So, the young core has a lot of positives to billed on. The key, however, will be their health and if they can stay together, the success of Barkley, Jones and how far the Giants will go in 2021 depends on it.
