New York Giants get good, but not great, offseason grade from ESPN

The New York Giants offseason work deserves a “B” grade, according to ESPN NFL analyst Seth Walder.

How did Walder reach that conclusion? Here is what he wrote:

The Giants entered the offseason needing a quarterback. They acquired three. In free agency, they brought in both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston for a combined $14 million in cap space. It was a good bargain.

At the time, they didn’t know whether they’d be able to draft a first-round QB. Wilson raises the floor and Winston the ceiling. Even though neither is the team’s future quarterback, why not try both at that cost?
