The New York Giants weren’t only playing for their fourth win of the season on Sunday against the Washington Redskins; they were also battling for Chase Young in the upcoming NFL Draft. The loser of the game saw their chances of landing the generational pass-rusher increase significantly, and the Giants’ 41-35 victory sealed their fate.
Dropping to the 4th pick in the draft, Big Blue is still in a great position to draft a quality player, but it likely won’t be Young. However, establishing a winning culture and gaining momentum is a positive thing and is more critical to the development of the players than anything else.
