The New York Giants have a lot of work to do before they can be considered a playoff team based on these ESPN rankings.

ESPN did give the Giants praise for the construction of the defensive front, calling that unit the team's biggest strength. The trio of edge rushers in Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and No. 3 overall pick Abdul Carter should bode well next to All-Pro talent Dexter Lawrence on the interior.

The last time we did a 53-man roster projection for the New York Giants was at the conclusion of mandatory minicamp last month. With training camp almost here, let’s see if my thinking about who will or will not make the roster has changed at all.
