The New York Giants (2-3) will host the Cincinnati Bengals (1-4) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday evening in a Week 6 battle.
That, in fact, gives these of us right here at Giants Wire the chance to hypothetically steal from the Bengals’ roster in quest of depth and/or expertise upgrades for Large Blue.
Reality be informed, there’s actually not a lot to choose from out in Cincinnati. Sure, there’s celebrity extensive receiver Ja’Marr Chase, however that theft can be a luxurious. What the Giants actually want are roster upgrades.
Possibly it’s a testomony to common supervisor Joe Schoen, however there aren’t many upgrades obtainable when trying over the Bengals’ roster. Mike Gesicki is one risk given the restricted manufacturing from the Giants’ tight ends this season, however would it not be sufficient of a lift to warrant the steal? In all probability not.
In the end, there’s just one reliable choice: Quarterback Joe Burrow.
Sure, Daniel Jones has performed nicely over the previous 4 video games and is retaining the Giants aggressive, however Burrow is on a special stage. He’s a Tier 1 NFL quarterback when wholesome and would open issues up for the offense, particularly downfield.
The identical manufacturing Burrow will get from Chase can be replicated by rookie Malik Nabers and the argument might be made that Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt are a greater WR2/WR3/WR4 mixture than Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin.
Toss in working backs Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Burrow would have a discipline day in East Rutherford.
What are your ideas, Giants followers? Would you decide Joe Burrow or would you steal a wholly totally different participant from the Cincinnati Bengals?
