    You’re the GM: New York Giants Reload Plan

    You’re the GM: New York Giants Reload Plan

    Imagine you've just been hired as the new general manager of the New York Giants. In this video, I'll be stepping into the shoes of New York Giants GM, Joe Schoen, to lay out my reload plan for the franchise's roster. No move is off the table as I break down the tough decisions, including potential blockbuster trades to bring in a stud wide receiver.

    I'll go in-depth on which current Giants players I'm extending to free up cap space. You'll get my evaluation on building around the existing core and where I believe we need an influx of fresh talent.

    From there, I'll walk through my draft strategy, detailing my target prospects at each major pick to help reconstruct the trenches and inject more game-changing ability on both sides of the ball.

    This is my comprehensive vision for reloading the Giants roster from the ground up through savvy transactions, big trades, contract restructures, and landing impact draft picks. With a little luck, my "GM for a day" master plan to build a new-look, Super Bowl-contending roster for Big Blue.

    A special thanks to Eric Eager (@ericeager_) and Jack Duffin (@JackDuffin) for their support in this episode.
