That, after all, supplies these of us right here at Giants Wire the chance to hypothetically steal from the Falcons’ roster searching for depth and/or expertise upgrades for Huge Blue for the second time this season.
Consider it or not, there’s truly so much to choose from.
The Falcons could also be a middle-of-the-road staff by way of file and most statistics, however they’ve a roster lined with high-end expertise, together with areas by which the Giants desperately lack.
Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is a tempting selection however the actuality is, nobody is aware of how he’ll translate to the NFL. We’ll collectively get our first style of that on Sunday when he makes his beginning debut in opposition to a staff that handed him over within the 2024 NFL draft.

His 92.6 general grade from Professional Soccer Focus is second amongst all guards in soccer and his 94.5 run blocking grade tops the league.
Over 514 go block snaps, Lindstrom has allowed seven hits and only a single sack. He’s additionally paved the way in which for Robinson, who has greater than 1,100 dashing yards this season whereas averaging 4.7 yards per carry.
Lindstrom can be a long-term reply for a long-standing Giants drawback.
