The New York Giants have been busy in NFL free agency. Are they better? Tony Del Genio of Big Blue View isn’t sure. Apparently, neither are folks who do offseason NFL Power Rankings.

No. 25
New coach John Harbaugh takes over a team that has some talent in key spots, including some nice free agent additions. The most important thing will be the growth of Jaxson Dart in his second year.

No. 27
The Giants went to work adding size and versatility on offense in the early stages of free agency, and it’s no
shock that John Harbaugh was able to lure a slew of former Ravens to New York. What did surprise me was the lack of moves to bolster the offensive line, even if the Giants are talking up Evan Neal as a worthy reclamation project. They need help on the defensive interior, too. But could they go a different direction with the fifth overall pick? I wouldn’t be stunned by LB Sonny Styles or RB Jeremiyah Love, even if neither plays a premium position. The G-Men do have some talent already on the roster but still need difference-makers. With a few more additions, they could be competitive in Harbaugh’s first season.

No. 21
They upgraded a bit at linebacker (Tremaine Edmunds over Bobby Okereke) and got a bigger weapon for their slot (tight end Isaiah Likely over wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson). Mostly, though, they’re still counting on John Harbaugh getting the most out of what they already have.
Sporting News/Iyer
No. 21
The Giants getting tight end Isaiah Likely, punter Jordan Stout and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds give them only limited impact as they remix the offense again for Jaxson Dart. They should be busier overall in the draft.
