This X-factor Could Help Make Giants a Playoff Team This Season
The New York Giants revamped a roster that finished 6-11 a year ago, but one non-player addition made by the team could very well be the team's X-factor this upcoming season. Martindale not so famously resigned from his post in January following an alleged fallout with head coach Brian Daboll, setting off a lengthy search for his replacement. Martindale's Giants defense finished 25th in total defense and 17th in points allowed last season, leaving room for improvement.

Expert Commentary
The Giants really needed to go quarterback here, but they weren't in love with the options on the board. Still, the Giants had a massive need at wide receiver as well and got the biggest playmaker at that spot in the draft. Malik Nabers can grow in to a true No. 1 wideout with blazing speed while they play out this season with Daniel Jones at quarterback.

This is probably about the right range for Nubin. He's the first safety drafted and he's a quality replacement for Xavier McKinney right away. This is the exact type of player that the Giants needed to add to their back seven.

Good depth here for the Giants at cornerback. It’s never a bad idea to add cornerbacks and now the Giants have two defensive backs added at this point in the draft.
