State of the Giants:
The Giants are in a similar situation as the Redskins are in right now, needing to protect the quarterback. They also have some weapons outside at receiver and some decent running backs. But with two Super Bowl wins the Giants have a proven franchise quarterback in Eli Manning.
Also like the Redskins, the Giants can use a little help in the secondary on the defense. But unlike the Redskins, they have an edge rusher to go along with the interior defensive lineman they got this offseason. Addressing the offensive line and the secondary could have the Giants competing the Cowboys, assuming Manning gets it together.
