In this episode of 2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates, Drew and Rob dive into the latest headlines surrounding the Giants, including coaching hires, potential draft strategies, and offseason roster moves. The Giants have officially hired Marquand Manuel as their new defensive backs coach, adding a wealth of experience to their coaching staff. Manuel, who played defensive back in the NFL from 2002 to 2009, brings a diverse coaching resume that includes stints with the Seahawks, Falcons, Eagles, and Jets. 

The hosts also analyze the Tennessee Titans' plans with the first overall pick in the NFL Draft. Titans President Chad Brinker and new GM Mike Borgonzi have stated they won’t pass on a generational talent, leading to speculation about whether they will select a quarterback or consider trading down. If Tennessee passes on a QB, it could open the door for the Giants to land one of the top prospects, such as Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward. Drew and Rob discuss the potential for the Giants to trade up and what it could mean for the franchise moving forward.

Another hot topic in the episode is Jermaine Eluemunor’s social media recruitment of Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey. Following Baltimore’s playoff loss, Humphrey hinted at potential changes to the Ravens’ roster. Eluemunor responded on social media by suggesting Humphrey consider joining the Giants, sparking speculation among fans. Cowboys star Micah Parsons chimed in, questioning why Humphrey would leave Lamar Jackson for New York, but Eluemunor remained steadfast in his recruitment efforts. The hosts break down Humphrey’s impressive resume, which includes four Pro Bowl selections and a standout performance last season, and debate whether a move to the Giants is realistic.

The Giants’ rookies continue to make waves as Malik Nabers and Tyrone Tracy Jr. were named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team. Nabers was the top wide receiver selected, while Tracy Jr. earned recognition as the second-best rookie running back behind the Buccaneers’ Bucky Irving. However, Tyler Nubin and Dru Phillips were notably absent from the list, which Drew and Rob argue is a snub considering their strong rookie campaigns.

Brian Burns has been recognized as the most improved Giant by Pro Football Focus, with significant improvements in both pass-rushing and run defense. Burns recorded 61 pressures and 42 defensive stops, showcasing his growth and potential to become a dominant force for the Giants. The hosts discuss how his development could shape the defense next season.

As the draft approaches, Mel Kiper has projected Shedeur Sanders to the Giants in his latest mock draft. Kiper believes this scenario would be ideal for the Giants, who are in desperate need of a franchise quarterback after moving on from Daniel Jones and with Drew Lock entering free agency. Sanders' impressive accuracy and leadership could provide a much-needed boost to the Giants’ struggling offense.

Finally, the episode covers the departure of defensive lineman Boogie Basham, who has signed a reserve/futures deal with the Carolina Panthers. Drew and Rob discuss what this means for the Giants’ defensive depth and how they might address the loss in free agency or the draft.
