00:00Everybody's making their list for their top 10 Giants on the current roster.
00:04So I'm going to get involved with the fun, but I'm warning you guys right now.
00:08I left off some names that are fan favorites.
00:11I made my list going off of actual production and projected production, not likeability.
00:18So don't argue with me, argue with your mama.
00:20So now from 10 down to one, here are my best players on this 2026 Giants roster.
00:27Number 10, CC Maui Noah.
00:29If he was at tackle, I'd more than likely have him a little bit lower, but I want to
00:34see how this kid makes that transition to guard at the NFL level.
00:38Now, one thing that he has going in his favor that Evan Neal didn't have when he made that
00:44switch from tackle to guard is CC already has some film of him playing guard in college.
00:50This is a big boy like Evan Neal, but he's more athletic in my opinion.
00:54He's an upgrade, not only to the position, but to the Giants offensive line for sure.
01:01Number nine, edge rusher, Abdul Carter.
01:04Look, I feel like he deserves to be a little bit lower on this list.
01:09And I think he's going to have a breakout season this year's, but the overall numbers of 2025
01:15didn't match the hype.
01:17Only four sacks, two forced fumbles and a block punt.
01:20Now, the quick generated pressures were there, and I love how he came around towards the
01:25end of the season.
01:26But when you're going to unretire or want to unretire LT's iconic number 56, I got to see
01:33some LT-like production.
01:34Now, I know I'm going to mark my own words on this one, and I'm going to even pull my
01:38own receipts because I'm for sure going to regret having him at nine at the end of the
01:43season.
01:44Number eight, linebacker, Arvell Reese.
01:49I want to put this kid a little bit lower in the rankings, but come on, y'all.
01:53He's a rookie, and the only take we have on him is college and rookie camp film.
01:58But boy, the Giants got themselves a dog on the second level.
02:02I want somebody to talk about me the way that John Harbaugh raves about this kid.
02:08A dude that size is not supposed to be moving in space as fast as he does.
02:14Now, the thing about him and his production is a lot of that is going to rely on defensive
02:20tackle Shelby Harris and DJ Reader.
02:23If these dudes can occupy the double team and let this kid roam free and run east-west,
02:30we're talking about a 110-plus tackle kid and potential defensive rookie of the year.
02:36Number seven, Patrick Ricard.
02:38Yeah, the fullback.
02:40A six-time pro bowler during his nine years with the Ravens.
02:44Now, he's been a focal point on some of the NFL's best rushing offenses, including helping
02:50the Ravens lead the league in rushing yards and yards per carry.
02:54He's highly decorated, he's highly respected, and most importantly, he is highly feared.
03:01It's all business decisions when you're meeting Pancake Pat while trying to plug a hole.
03:07He's one of, if not the best at his position.
03:11He deserves to be at seven.
03:14Number six, tight end, Isaiah Likely.
03:16Look, the last couple of years, he was able to shine down in Baltimore with Mark Andrews
03:21as the TE1, but now in East Rutherford, he's going to be the guy, and I'm not even talking
03:28about a TE1 in this Giants passing game.
03:31I think this kid can potentially be the team's second leading receiver behind Malik Neighbors.
03:37Number five, Jackson Dart.
03:40This kid is special, man.
03:41This kid has shown that not only is he a leader, not only did he show that he can ball,
03:47but
03:47most importantly, this kid showed that he is the future of the franchise.
03:51For the first time in what feels like forever, we weren't talking about the Giants drafting
03:57a quarterback with one of the top, what, five to ten picks.
04:01I feel as though if some of the receivers didn't drop some key darts that he threw to them,
04:07and they won a couple of more games last season, he would have been offensive rookie of the
04:12year.
04:12This Giants offense and franchise is in good hands with Jackson Dart.
04:17At number four, and I know I'm going to take some heat with this one, but I don't care.
04:22I've got punter Jordan Stout.
04:24Yeah, and I'm saying it with my chest, a punter.
04:27Remember what I said in the intro, actual production and projected production.
04:32This kid's got both, big leg, big accuracy, and he's a top-tier player to his position.
04:39He led the league in net punting average, had 26 punts down in the 20-yard line, and he
04:45was an all-pro in Pro Bowl selection.
04:48The Giants finally have a weapon at the punter position, and watch how he helps this defense.
04:56At number three, Malik Nabors.
05:00Coming off that ACL injury, I'm not really worried about this kid.
05:03This kid has shown that he can get open, he can win against some of the top corners in
05:08the league, he gets yak, and he can go and get the football.
05:12My only concern, and it's not like a real concern, it's more like a question when it comes to his
05:19production, is if he's going to get as many targets with Matt Nagy as his offensive coordinator
05:25instead of Brian Dable and Mike Kafka, Leak did what he wanted in Dable's system, and
05:31he even had input in the install.
05:34So I wonder if he'll get that much say in Nagy's offense, because if he doesn't, his production
05:39could potentially take a hit.
05:41At number two, left tackle, Andrew Thomas.
05:45He is the most disrespected player at his position in 2025.
05:51He had an overall PFF grade of 90.3, that's fourth among 89 qualified offensive tackles.
05:58A pass blocking grade of 87.2, that's third among OTs.
06:03Run blocking grade of 84.6, seventh among OTs.
06:07One sack allowed, 13 total pressures allowed, and 448 pass blocking snaps in 13 games.
06:15And for some reason, with all that production, he still didn't make the Pro Bowl.
06:21Last but not least, the top player on this roster, Brian Burns.
06:26Spider-Man's coming off of a monstrous year.
06:28He was the only player to watch on a defense that, for whatever reason, not pointing fingers
06:34at anybody, but they just simply underachieved.
06:3716.5 sacks, that was a career high, and he was named a second-team All-Pro and a Pro
06:44Bowler.
06:44In fact, he was the only Giants player to make the Pro Bowl last season, so there you have it.
06:50Spidey Burns is the number one player on this 2026 Giants roster.
