The New York Giants opened the 2023 preseason on Friday night at Ford Field and fell to the Detroit Lions by a score of 21-16.
The game was a tale of two halves as the defense played above board over the first two quarters before deep reserves faltered late. There was more consistency on offense but that wasn’t necessarily a good thing as the O-Line struggled from the kickoff to the final whistle. The lacking depth there is a genuine concern.
But not all was bad. In fact, there was quite a bit of good, especially as it relates to the team’s 2023 NFL draft class.
Whose stock is up and whose is down after the preseason-opening loss? Let’s take a look.
