The New York Giants (2-3) will host the Cincinnati Bengals (1-4) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday night in a Week 6 battle.
That, of course, provides those of us here at Giants Wire the opportunity to hypothetically steal from the Bengals’ roster in search of depth and/or talent upgrades for Big Blue.
Truth be told, there’s really not much to pick from out in Cincinnati. Yes, there’s superstar wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, but that theft would be a luxury. What the Giants truly need are roster upgrades.
Maybe it’s a testament to general manager Joe Schoen, but there aren’t many upgrades available when looking over the Bengals’ roster. Mike Gesicki is one possibility given the limited production from the Giants’ tight ends this season, but would it be enough of a boost to warrant the steal? Probably not.
Ultimately, there’s only one legitimate option: Quarterback Joe Burrow.
Yes, Daniel Jones has played well over the past four games and is keeping the Giants competitive, but Burrow is on a different level. He’s a Tier 1 NFL quarterback when healthy and would open things up for the offense, especially downfield.
The same production Burrow gets from Chase would be replicated by rookie Malik Nabers and the argument could be made that Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt are a better WR2/WR3/WR4 combination than Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin.
Toss in running backs Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Burrow would have a field day in East Rutherford.
What are your thoughts, Giants fans? Would you pick Joe Burrow or would you steal an entirely different player from the Cincinnati Bengals?
