In this episode of A New York (Giants) Minute, hosts Ben Taylor and Peter Finelli are joined by an Eagles expert to break down the upcoming season finale against Philadelphia. After a long, painful season, we finally get some relief, but there’s still plenty to discuss about the Giants’ draft situation.
Before the interview, Peter goes over the routing scenarios for the weekend, discussing what has to happen if the Giants are going to secure the first overall pick or a top-two pick again. The guys break down the potential outcomes and what fans should be hoping for to maximize their draft positioning.
The conversation then dives into how the Eagles have built their success this year, with the guest offering some great insight into their process and key players. They also discuss whether the Eagles should sit their starters, considering their playoff status, and what that could mean for the Giants' slim chance at improving their draft spot. Ben and Peter also touch on the possibility of the Giants securing the first overall pick—something that could completely shift their future.
The interview with the Eagles expert starts at the 10-minute mark, and the episode wraps up with everyone making their weekly picks, including the guest. With the Giants playing their starters and the Eagles likely resting theirs, it’s looking more and more like the Giants will fall to the ninth or tenth overall pick, making it less likely they’ll land a franchise QB in the draft. Fans were hoping for a higher pick, but it seems that dream may be slipping away as the Giants miss out on a top-tier quarterback prospect.
