NY Giants Draft News Colts Post Win

12/31/24 • 81 min

In this in-depth episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob tackle the aftermath of the Giants' stunning 45-33 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. While the win broke a ten-game losing streak and provided a much-needed morale boost, it also came with a significant downside: the Giants are no longer in position to claim the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. With the team now sitting at the fourth pick, they explore the ripple effects this outcome will have on the Giants' future.
The episode dives into whether this victory might have saved the jobs of Head Coach Brian Daboll and General Manager Joe Schoen. Drew and Rob analyze if ownership might now view the duo's leadership in a more favorable light or if the team’s overall struggles are too glaring to overlook. Could Schoen’s draft strategy, particularly with a high but not top pick, be the deciding factor in his fate?
Shifting focus to the draft itself, the hosts discuss the Giants’ options at the fourth spot and the tantalizing possibility of trading up to reclaim the top pick. Breaking down the points value of draft selections, they assess whether the Giants could package their additional picks or future assets to move up and secure a potential franchise quarterback like Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward. The mock draft discussion includes profiles of standout prospects like Michigan CB Will Johnson, West Virginia G Wyatt Milum, and Cincinnati DT Dontay Corleone, showcasing the talent the Giants could still land even without the top selection.
Drew and Rob also cover how Shedeur Sanders has seemingly hinted at an interest in joining the Giants, with rumors of Giants-themed cleats and a growing connection to the team. Is there a legitimate chance that Deion Sanders would steer his son to New York, similar to how the Manning family maneuvered Eli to the Giants two decades ago?
The episode doesn't stop there. Drew and Rob tackle hot topics like Cam Ward’s controversial decision to sit out the second half of Miami’s Pop Tarts Bowl loss and Eli Manning’s candidacy as a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They examine whether Ward’s actions were worse than players who opt out of bowl games entirely and debate if Eli’s New York legacy will help push him into Canton on his first ballot.
Don’t miss this jam-packed episode as Drew and Rob break down the critical moments shaping the New York Giants’ future. Whether you’re celebrating the win or lamenting the draft implications, this is the must-watch show for all Giants fans.

Send us a text

In this live postgame reaction show, Drew from *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates* dives into the aftermath of the Colts vs. Giants game at MetLife Stadium. The Giants have completed their final home game of the season, and the focus remains on their pursuit of the number one overall draft pick. With a 10-game losing streak in tow, New York is now officially the first Giants team in franchise history to go winless at home. Drew breaks down the game, the team’s struggles, and what this all means for the future of the Giants.
The quarterback matchup added intrigue to the game, with Drew Lock starting for the Giants and Joe Flacco leading the Colts. Despite heroic efforts by rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who played through injuries, and the uncertainty surrounding running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., the Giants couldn’t get it done. Fans are left wondering if this is all part of the bigger picture—securing a generational talent at the top of the draft.
The conversation then shifts to college football, starting with Cam Ward’s controversial decision during the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Ward made NCAA history by setting the career record for passing touchdowns, but his decision to sit out the second half of the game sparked debate. Miami lost to Iowa State 42-41, and Drew dissects whether Ward’s actions were worse or better than players who opt out of bowl games entirely. Did Ward abandon his teammates, or does the nature of the Pop-Tarts Bowl make it a non-issue?
Next, Drew unpacks the Shedeur Sanders buzz. During the Alamo Bowl, Sanders sparked speculation by being spotted with custom cleats in Giants colors in his locker. A viral video teased their reveal, and although reports claimed he wore them during the game, those were later debunked. Could Sanders be sending a not-so-subtle hint about his NFL aspirations and a potential fit with the Giants?
Drew also addresses the massive implications of the Giants holding the top pick in the draft. With the franchise’s future hanging in the balance, is Joe Schoen the right person to make this decision? There’s a debate over whether Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward is worthy of the first overall selection. Some argue that Schoen’s job security could influence his choice, while a new GM might prioritize long-term team building.
Lastly, Drew celebrates a historic moment for Giants legend Eli Manning, who has been named a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Eli joins an elite list of 15 finalists, including first-time nominees like Luke Kuechly, Terrell Suggs, and Adam Vinatieri. Drew discusses Eli’s chances of being a first-ballot Hall of Famer and whether his legacy, the Manning name, and his New York market ties will tip the scales in his favor.
This episode is packed with insight, analysis, and passionate reactions from Drew as he covers the Giants’ struggles, college football controversies, and a legendary Giant’s Hall of Fame candidacy. Don’t miss th

Giants QB Rumors: JJ McCarthy, Drake Maye, Jaxson Dart & a Bold Mock Draft

Send us a text

In this comprehensive episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob explore the potential moves the New York Giants could make in the offseason to address their quarterback situation and bolster their roster for the future. The episode dives into intriguing rumors and bold predictions that could shape the Giants' strategy heading into the 2025 NFL season.
The discussion begins with speculation around JJ McCarthy, the young quarterback currently with the Minnesota Vikings. Reports suggest the Vikings may commit to Sam Darnold long-term and entertain offers for McCarthy. Drew and Rob analyze whether the Giants could or should pursue the former Michigan star, weighing his potential fit in New York against the assets they might need to part with in a trade.
The conversation shifts to another tantalizing possibility: Drake Maye. Fox Sports analyst Nick Wright suggested a scenario where the Patriots draft Shedeur Sanders, trade Maye for additional picks, and use those assets to bring in Deion Sanders as their head coach. Drew and Rob examine Maye’s stats, strengths, and weaknesses from the 2024 season, including his 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and debate whether he could be the answer to the Giants' QB question.
The hosts then delve into a detailed seven-round mock draft scenario, where the Giants trade down from the fourth overall pick. In the proposed trade, the Giants send picks 4 and 244 to the Seahawks, receiving picks 18, 50, 82, and a second-rounder in 2026. This bold strategy allows the Giants to address multiple needs, starting with Alabama guard Tyler Booker in the first round. They add talent in the trenches with defensive tackles Walter Nolen and Kenneth Grant, improve the offensive line with Donovan Jackson and Ajani Cornelius, and even take a swing on Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart in the third round. Additional picks include Georgia cornerback Daylen Everette, Washington running back Jonah Coleman, and North Carolina edge rusher Kaimon Rucker, rounding out a draft class loaded with potential.
The episode also features an in-depth profile of Jaxson Dart, highlighting his impressive high school career, his transition from USC to Ole Miss, and his growth as a quarterback. Despite a strong statistical showing in his final college season, Dart’s performances against lower-tier defenses and concerns about his pro-readiness raise questions about his potential as an NFL starter.
Drew and Rob wrap up the episode with insights into how these moves could position the Giants for a brighter future. Whether it’s acquiring a young quarterback via trade or building a solid foundation through the draft, the duo explores all angles to ensure the Giants remain competitive in the ever-tough NFC East. This episode is a must-listen for fans eager to dive deep into the Giants' offseason plans and the latest news surrounding the team.
